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.

not to mention that it was the high amount of racism shown by whites in the first place that brought about a need for institutions like black college funds and black history month. whites have already shown in the past that if they arent forced to treat blacks fairly then they wont. and if u dont learn from history your doomed to repeat it. and for those asking "why isnt there white history month?" i will answer that with a few questions of my own... "how many whites were subjected to such poor standards of living in the early 1900s?"... or "how many whites were hunted down and lynched while crosses burned in their front yards?"... or "how many white leaders were gunned down at the peak of their popularity?" (kennedy's excluded)

this is where i say what i always say.

why isnt there a holocaust remembrance month? why isnt there even a holocaust rememberance day? no jewish history month?

jews have nothing.
so, before acting like its only blacks that were prejudiced against, actually look back in history.

alllsssooo, repeating what i said in the other thread, have you been enslaved? did you work for "the white man"?
no.
did your mom? or dad? no.

maybe someone in your family did, i dont know.
it doesnt matter.

my grandparents lived during the holocaust, and im not going around asking people to give me money because they lost some of theirs.
