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.

here's a link to the original thread:

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'm sorry I did not realize this was English class. If I post like this will it make my points more significant because I appear smarter?


By the way I love all the stats you guys bring up. I could go stat for stat all day and mine will be way more convincing. It really doesn't prove anything though. Here's one for ya... That stat about 473 white people being lynched over a half century was something I did not know. Yet, 300 blacks were killed in one day. Jeez what a discrepancy. How many of you have heard of the Black Holocaust? Maybe some do, maybe some don't. I have no idea of this. If you haven't heard of it however, here's an interesting reading for you. Learn something.

I think your vision of the Black Panthers is a little misconstrued as well. You have to realize that a group of blacks forming together for social advancement in the 60's scared alot of people in our government. In fact, FBI agent Hoover called them "the greatest threat to the internal security of the United States." Honestly, the fact that blacks were not satisfied with social conditions and were finally showing some sort of unity just scared the f**k outta alot of white politicians. I believe this is somewhere when COINTELPRO takes place. Not to mention that perhaps the most peaceful movement aside from Mahtma Ghandi's was a part of their investigation. By this I am referring to Martin Luther King's. Did they pose a violent threat to our national security? Hardly. Also, if what they were doing was Constitutional it wouldnt've been a scandal.



Read a history book? I fail to see what the purpose of this would be. I have never misquoted any historical facts nor have I proposed any arguments that conflict with any actual facts.

waaaa.

yes. you could go stat for stat all day. and that just proves the point that you're just out for pity over something that never even happened to you. it proves that you rather enjoy playing the race card and using the past as a way to get what you want.

so, again, waaaaa.
