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.

You do realize that we're all in high school (or above, as in Justin [crackedrearview]'s case), right? Not in 7th grade? Yea, just clarifying that...and, really, it's kind of silly to try to insult us based on our age when it is blatantly clear that despite our young ages (I'm only 15! ), our minds are farther advanced.

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

1. We are not trying to say that there are no other months; in fact, we've made the point time and time again that there are months for almost every ethnicity in the United States, but they are not nearly as recognized as Black History Month, which is why no one knows that they exist. This is about unfair treatment and favoritism. There shouldn't be any months at all because no race "deserves" more attention and recognition than another. If it is equality we are working towards, then why not make things equal?
2. THE JEWS GODDAMN HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS NEED TO BE POINTED OUT?! THE JEEEEEWWWWWSSS!!!
You do realize that the KKK that you keep referring to also makes many attacks against those of Jewish faith?
All over the world, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES, there has ALWAYS been anti-semitism, far longer than there has been against those of African descent.

Since you seem to think that everyone else gets fair and equal treatment, why in the world is there no month for Jews? And it's not that no one knows about it; there isn't one. The Holocaust really isn't the only time that there was ever any anti-semitic feelings.
3. We're not complaining about the Women's Rights Month because it's not recognized. Like, at all. Ever.
