When I voted for 'black history' BOM topic, for some reason I was thinking BLACK, as in funny/ironic/a bit left field>>> humour
I think I disregarded the 'history' side of it.
Imagine my surprise to see posts here now. Silly me.
I guess its because I dont think of people in relation to 'their' skin colour.

So it would match the "holiday."
