    Australia day is just Australia's 4th of July, these are both national holidays and I can understand why those are celebrated. Chinese New Year is massive, a pretty large portion of Asia celebrate it.

    You say they celebrate everything but black history month, that's not true at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ependence_days

    I still find the whole concept of black history month ridiculous. It's not something we really do where I live so I don't know the a whole lot about it but to me black history is history, what is the need to separate the two?

    Thats why there is a black History because people you(Not being mean)seem to forget the impact no nothing about black history had and how it changed America completely. Thats why it needs to be celebrated on era this is a simple request im not trying to turn it into a debate so lets just keep it as that a request.

    Lots of things change many countries and they can not all be celebrated. If an admin chose to organise something then that would be their choice, for example I assume one of the Australian admins organised Australia day so that was their choice.

    As people have said, not every event can be celebrated so a decision must be made over which ones to do. And lets be honest it is much better to celebrate a more uplifting event on a game designed to be fun rather than one that is likely to lead to immature players causing trouble.

    Don't twist my words. I completely understand and acknowledge the massive impact black history has had on America and the rest of the world and I respect it massively. I just don't see the need for a dedicated month. As Morgan Freeman said, the best way to stop racism is to stop talking about it. Black history is world history, there's no reason to segregate it.

    Ok im not going to go deeper than what this threads purpose was to be. I just want era to recognize Black History Month some people have different opinions I understand but this is just a request from a African American that feels Black history month should be acknowledged on era.

    Hmm, different opinions you say...

    Well, to conclude something this sort of event isn't highly recognized by others except for the Negroes.
    So you can't expect the team to have this sort of thing to take place so easily without any considerations being made.
