Our history is waaay more than that, and we are making history every day. Too often people think that the only way of celebrating Black history is to talk about slavery, famous African American inventors, and the civil rights movement in the United States. (As for me, I celebrate Black history and Black culture all year long.)

That said, sharing information about and examples of The Dazz Band's now iconic 1982 Funk song "Let It Whip", the television series Soul Train & the Soul Train line, and Michael Jackson's 1982 Beat It song, is one way of honoring Black history in the month of February that United States annually designates as "Black history month". But the two words sound almost the same and are spelled almost the same. Yes, I know- the word "whip" doesn't have the same pronunciation and meaning as the word "rip". The Daz Band's song "Let It Whip" came to my mind as a result of United States' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up her copy of Donald Trump's State Of The Union address.
