T-Pain is among a list of celebrities showing their criticisms of Black History Month. Kanye and other celebrities declared on his instagram earlier this week that this month is “Black Future Month.” Recently, T-Pain was caught giving his two cents about BHM, believing that people should stop celebrating Black History for just one month.
TMZ caught up with T-Pain while he was in the airport where he was asked about BHM and the recent bomb threats at HBCU’s.
“[White people should] stop celebrating it. I don’t think we should celebrate Black History Month. I think we should just have history,” he said. T-Pain went on, saying: “You [are] separating us again! We want to be part of history, not just one month of it. I’d rather everybody stop celebrating that s**t and just let us be part of history. And if you haven’t paid attention, it’s the shortest month of the year.”
When addressing the recent HBCU bomb threats, T-Pain said that he’s not surprised that they happened but the only way things like that will stop happening is if “we [Black people] make our own sh*t.” He added that just because a school is considered an HBCU, doesn’t mean its owned by Black people.
