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.

minds are farther advanced? this does not even make me upset, it only results in arising a slight chuckle as I am overly confident you could not even begin to mentally compare with me, on a social, intellectual, or political sense. sorry.



You know what I can't answer why Black History Month is promoted so much more than any other. I suppose some on here would claim it is b/c if not blacks would cry racism. Which is possible. But you haven't given a month for another race that is recognized by our government. Not saying it doesn't exist but I am unaware of such a month and you have yet to produce one.




oh and Women's rights month isnt recognized? I find this funny b/c just today at my school there was an outdoor seminar in the center of campus coinciding with Women's Month and how their roles have changed. Not to mention I've seen commercials for it. And anti-semitic feelings are one thing. Laws physically preventing a race from equality is another. I'm sorry kid, but its like I said - all races have been prejudiced. America is built on its mixing pot culture of immigrants. I'm compelled to ask though who you honestly think has been more disenfranchised than blacks. Yeah, Native Americans have been shitted on too. But if you mean to tell me Jews are more deserving b/c of anti-semetic feelings I feel you are proving your ignorance. All minorities are hated on, but with blacks its different. White ppl are scared of blacks for watever reason. maybe for physical issues, or maybe b/c they are scared what would happen if black ppl truly gained majority power, but they are definitely scared. NO I DON'T MEAN EVERY f**king WHITE PERSON IS SCARED OF EVERY f**king BLACK PERSON. It's true in most cases though.

then you completely ignore our refutations and then call us idiots and faggots.

Actually I've responded to any claims made against me please elaborate as to which points I've ignored b/c I've done an adequate job at dismantling any arguments given.
