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 was not referring to the bombing during WWII. i was talking about the "internment camps" here in the united states. read about it here.

and i apologize for jumping to conclusions about you personally. i should have made my statements more general. what i was trying to get at is the point that african americans (especially celebrities) are extremely cruel and racist towards white people. and this is silly to me. because they are being complete hypocrites.

and yes, i have heard of the jim crowe laws. i am avidly interested in history. but! in my opinion, a majority of black people are holding themselves down by allowing the past to run their lives. they are incredibly caught up in who is racist, what is racist, and who is or is not out to get them because they are black. they are determined to become THE top race. reverse the roles, so to speak. admit it, it is clear that that is the goal of many strongwilled african americans. to "put whites in their place". and THAT, dahlin, is what gets to me. is what boils my blood and makes me just want to tell the entire world to shut the hell up. because it's not JUST african americans who do it, i know that. EVERYONE does it for one reason or another. they care about status and rights and who has more and who has what. when, in the end, that will not matter.

also, there are PLENTY of poverty stricken people in the US who are white (me!? my family?! we are struggling to keep our house, eat one meal a day, etc.) i am honestly doubtful that poverty and lower standards are determined by someone's race. i don't think there is some higher power in the government dictating that only black people can be poor or treated poorly.

and i'm sorry, i concede that whites are still the majority overall. but, i will also say that....there has been a LOT of progress made in the human rights department. this country will NEVER be perfect. and it is still FAR from being perfect. but, people of all races are allowed to do everything white, christian men are allowed to do when it comes to laws. it is society itself that has prevented us from having a female or racially diverse president. and that's saying a lot when you look back at how things stood when the country was formed.

and i am also a die hard believer that equal rights means just that, EQUAL. not MORE. and it seems that as time passes, people of all races, genders, and sexual orientations, are attempting to gain more rights for themselves so they can feel as though they are ABOVE white men. and that is not just, in my opinion. i feel that freedom and equality should be for everyone and should not favour anyone. regardless of the past. things will never change if we keep trying to even the score.

again, i am sorry for offending you. that was not my intention.
