February is always a special month. Not only do we celebrate love on Valentine’s day, but we also commit to honoring Black History.
Did Stacey Dash Just Say There Shouldn’t Be a Black History Month?
To commemorate the start of this time of year, Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor John Boyega tweeted a simple greeting to his 460,000-plus followers:
Happy black history month X

For some of his followers, however, Boyega’s message wasn’t one worthy of sharing. For those who took the time to challenge the actor, Boyega had clever comebacks to silence them all.
Happy black history month. Didnt think saying happy was good but @JohnBoyega said it is so i will as well

Another follower chimed in that the month shouldn’t be treated differently than any of the others.
@JohnBoyega I just want every month to be we are all happy with each other month.
