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.

what about the japanese and what we did to them during WWII?

they aren't asking for money because of it. and that DID happen in the united states. not some far off place that apparently doesn't matter to nationalistic, moronic assholes.

also, you are racist. why the hell doesn't anyone realize that racism is racism. white people are NOT the only people who are/can be racist. you saying that white people are generally bad because of what happened in the past is RACIST.

get off your high horse and over yourself.
you're no better or worse than a white person, an asian person, a native american person, or any other person on this earth. the past struggles of african americans have no weight in today's world. the only reason it seems that way is because there are some idiots out there who like to whine and complain until they get their ass kissed for being different. and because, i concede, there are some ignorant people out there still who are extremely racist. BUT. if you were a strong person, you would not let that force you down to the level of asking to be treated specially or different from everyone else.


it is utterly childish for adults to run around yelling about someone owing them something for things that happened HUNDREDS of years ago. please, just grow up.


EDIT::: (whites are not a minority in the entire united states. i officially correct myself. and call myself stupid. satisfied?) holding grudges is ridiculous. people need to realize that the world has and still is changing.

everyone is equally idiotic, in my opinion.

^^^^hmmm... interesting points... but lemme school u to sum shit real quick...

first...what happened to the japanese was a tragedy. that is without a question, using two A-bombs like that was crazy. BUT that also happened during wartime and in response to an unprovoked attack against the US... um have u ever heard of Pearl Harbor?? not to mention that really was nothing like slavery.

second... i am far from racist. just b/c i have strong views on what is wrong in this country and am not afraid to voice them does not make me racist. in fact my mother is white. in fact nearly all my best friends are white. u know nothin about who i am outside of wat i post... so please keep your assumptions to yourself. and i never said white ppl are bad but their actions were rather overwhemingly unjust to blacks in the past.

third... it leaves me mind-f**ked how ppl dont think blacks are still affected by slavery. i never said that ppl's shortcomings are a direct cause of slavery b/c i agree, if u are a strong person u can acheive success. but when blacks were freed they all started with nothing. now granted, individually, blacks have been able to make gains in society and move up, but as a whole the black race is largely livin under the poverty line. not to mention that there hasnt really been a truly FAIR playin employment or academic field until the last 25-30 years of the country. has everyone forgotten the notorious Jim Crow laws that segregated blacks to such poorer standards of living than whites? also whether u think so or not slavery created a large rift between blacks and whites that has not really ever gone away.

whites are not the minority either hun. whites still dominate all aspects of the country. Government, media, corporations, military... whites are still at the head of a lot of that. i dont mean to come off as angry in my opinion but its ignorance that i still see in a subject like this that drives me crazy
