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.

Well for one I, as well as many other African Americans do not have a true sense of heritage. This is true, I am not elaborating to make my point. Whereas many caucasians and/or other immigrants have the ability to trace their roots to a definitive country, all Africans are left with is knowing they came from Africa, yet not a definite region due to the incessant break-up of families. Does this affect how I live my life? Hardly. Yet it is a repercussion of slavery that blacks do feel and that was the question. KKK was a social club. And it has turned into arguably the most notorious violence-driven hate group still in existence. What does their origin prove?

Really? Cause...I can't do that. I'm pretty white, but I have absolutely no idea what country my family was originally from. I have heritage in Germany, Austria, Poland, England, Scotland, France, Russia, and more that I don't know (so really all I know is Europe, like, a continent, kind of like Africa, another continent). Please enlighten me as to how I can figure all of this out.

Not to mention the absence of a great-grandmother in the tree, with her being outright murdered during the Holocaust.

But you know, I would have no idea what it's like to have family members who had any discrimination against them at all, and nothing is lost because of it...

Sorry, guess I should have clarified myself for the remedial ones out there. I should have said the avg. caucasian, as well as avg black. I hope you didn't truly think I meant every white person knew their heritage, because that would be quite impossible. You showing that your lack of knowledge regarding heritage really doesn't prove anything b/c I'm sure there are blacks who have more heritage knowledge than you do of your family. Does this mean what I stated is untrue? No... I was merely implying this on a much grander scale.




My bad I thought someone referenced the actual bombings. They didn't though... watever still should've made their point more clear.




how old u think i am? guess. i'll be honest.






But what does American railroads or who founded the NCAAP have to do with the original posts. Its like you guys are all trying to compare other mishaps in history to try to belittle slavery somehow. Yes, obviously no race in history has been treated equal at all times. Unquestionable. Yet at a certain period of time in the country that we live in, about 300 yrs to be precise, during such a crucial period of development of our society in emerging as its own entity, one particular race was enslaved in horrible conditions. Upon gaining a release from slavery, a more situated race (not every single person) did what they could to continue their higher place in society, even instituting laws to legally do so for awhile. Because of this, a rift has always existed between the two. Not saying no other race was done wrong. Not saying no black has never participated in a racially-charged act toward a white. Not saying any of this. Not even saying other races don't deserve national recognition, b/c if you ask me I think they do. But this topic was about blacks and if they deserved their spot and I spoke my peace.

and where the f**k are the supporters at??? Damn wtf? I'm rollin solo on this shit n still wreckin y'all faggots...

Looks like you're the one who didn't read the original post. It was a continuation of a thread called "White History Month," which asked if African Americans are highly recognized, why not whites? Why not the other races? The American railroads were built largely by immigrants, yet the people of these ethnicity don't get recognition on the scale that African Americans get.

Belittle slavery? Isn't it a good thing to belittle slavery? Slavery is bad.

and where the f**k are the supporters at??? Damn wtf? I'm rollin solo on this shit n still wreckin y'all faggots...

Based on your attitude and posts, I'm sure anyone who is remotely in support of Black History Month is trying to distance themselves from your comments.

ahh i can see that you don't really understand what belittle means.





I'm an idiot huh. Through my demeanor on some gay online blogging thing with a bunch of little teeny-boppers. Suuuuuure. Well I'm sorry I'm not writing things dumbed down to a 7th grader's level. If I got a warning for member bashing this *i*c* should as well. I've actually shown the most competence in this argument seeing how points I make are actually relevant and a lot of the questions or inquiries I proposed were left unanswered thoroughly.



Seriously, enlighten us to another race or class of people you have considered more prejudiced against in the history of our country which should get its own month. Women rightfully get their month as well, seeing how it is March. How come I don't see any threads complaining about their month? J/W.... As I was saying though, besides women the only group/class/race I view as being largely discriminated against in our society is gays... but that's another topic... Ok, so Irish and Chinese built the railroads... this was one isolated event in our history. Give or take 30 yrs. Maybe blacks are considered too favorably in some instances of our country. I don't agree with that but I can understand the perspective. To question a motnh is foolish

Great, you're putting words in my mouth. I never resorted to ad hominem attacks against you. Meanwhile, you've called us idiots and faggots. Which constitutes as a violation of our policy.

Pretty much, what you've been doing on this thread was post a bunch of arguements which we have refuted, then you completely ignore our refutations and then call us idiots and faggots. This is why the thread is going nowhere.
