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 said wouldnt post but i had to say sumthin real quick...

affirmative action is actually losing alot of use around the country. 4 states have already removed it from practice in education and employment. so yeah, i guess wat your sayin is right, in todays age maybe ppl dont have to be forced to consider minorities so its progress.


i called nothing_plus_this to a T





whoever downplayed COINTELPRO is playin themselves... lets see wat u said... quote - "I mean, sure, they worked to discredit and damage several civil rights movements" ... ummm u do realize this was the gov't that was doin this? im not sayin the man is out to get blacks but u dont find it startling that the gov't is infiltrating peace-organizations and makin up lies to get them destroyed?




i dont live in the past i would never let somethin as ridiculous as slavery guide wat i do with my life im just pointin out that we should not forget the past b/c it does still matter. and i dont hate white ppl. my mother is white. i grew up around white ppl. but race issues are always goin to exist in this country whether u think so or not, ignoring them just makes them worse.


and i still dont know wat disco infiltrator is tryin to say youre a f**kin idiot please dont post anymore

LOL!

I'll dumb it down; I'm sorry.
You have this sort of perception that only white people can be racist and that they receive no discrimination ever. This is untrue. I was giving examples of cases in which races other than caucasian were discriminatory. It wasn't "the white people" who limited minorities; it's happened with plenty of other races all over the world and it was the African tribesleaders who sold their people into slavery first while already having an existing slave trade. It was just easier to escape and be free in Africa because it wasn't so blatantly obvious as to who was a slave and who wasn't.
