The racism of black history month, v. 2.0, from white history month. Options

[sadolakced acid]

Original post:

Okay, so I am not trying to be racist or anything, but who here agrees with me that the black people are getting way more recognition than the whites?

Now we have black history month, black activists month, and negro colleges/college funds? This is just not fair.

Everyone believes that if we have a white history month then we will be racist? We aren't. Blacks are getting everything nowadays and if the white people try to put say into anything, it gets shoved back in our face as a racist comment.

I love black history and everything, but I have pride in being white and we get no recognition whatsoever? Does anyone agree with me..

And please don't say I am being racist. I live in the South for God's sake.

things to keep in mind whilest you debate:

• there is an asain history month. and a month for whatever else you can think of, except penguins of course. penguins are discriminated against for sure.
• every month is not white history month. check out the previous thread if you want to argue- pretend you posted, and read the multitudes of responses to whenever that was posted- all 14 times.
• read the thread before posting, please. if you can't, at least read the last few pages to get a general sense of what's being argued and what's been brought up.

have a nice day, and happy debating.

i agree. to an extent.

i believe in equality. in the most literal sense of the word. i don't think anyone (race, gender, sexual-orientation, age, etc.) should have more rights than anyone else. if they are fighting for EQUAL rights, i wish them luck, they deserve that. but, for people to run around acting as though they are better than someone else because of their skin colour, sex partners, or gender...is just ridiculous to me.

the world will never change as long as we have different groups (white, christian, men included) whining and yelling about certain things. demanding to be seen and treated specially by everyone else. because that just draws more attention to each and every difference in the world. there will never be any kind of peace or agreement between everyone unless we can all agree to just shut the heck up. and accept the basic things we have in common -- we are all people. regardless of minor differences. we are PEOPLE. and people should be treated equally.

and that's my 1 cent. i could go on and give the full 2 cents. but, no one would read it.
