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.

this is where i say what i always say.

why isnt there a holocaust remembrance month? why isnt there even a holocaust rememberance day? no jewish history month?

jews have nothing.
so, before acting like its only blacks that were prejudiced against, actually look back in history.

alllsssooo, repeating what i said in the other thread, have you been enslaved? did you work for "the white man"?
no.
did your mom? or dad? no.

maybe someone in your family did, i dont know.
it doesnt matter.

my grandparents lived during the holocaust, and im not going around asking people to give me money because they lost some of theirs.

Exactly. I agree. Its pathetic that there isnt even a Holocaust [u]day[/]. I personally dont think anyone in my family died in the Holocaust, but I have several relitives who died in East Germany during WW2.

I can understand why African Americans think they deserve their own history month. I'm not saying we should take it away from them. Alot of black people that I know get mad over slavery and the way they used to be treated. Black people used to be treated much differently, especially pre - 1970's. But slavery? If someone in their family was a slave, It would be a distant relitive. Its not like its their parents or grandparents.

Like someone's already said, other nationalitys deserve their own month as well.
