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.

2^ Whoa, what do you have against fat people,young mothers and trashmen? That was a mean post.

Alot of you make generalizations and assumations, like someone said that they can't stand black people because they purposely make themselves look like the victim, another said all asians are nerds, all native americans are dead, all white people are racist and etc. It isn't everyone who said things like that racist though? Isn't that racism, to assume that people of one race are a certain way?The most unracist thing I know of is death, no matter what race we are, what we do, what has happened to us, we all die.

We've all suffered, maybe not from the same things but we suffered at one period in time haven't we? Racism isn't the only thing that has made people suffer. Diseases like cancer aren't racist but lots of people still suffer from that, love isn't racist and (heart broken) people suffer from that, hunger isn't racist but we still suffer from that. Shouldn't we focus on important things like curing diseases and doing something about global warning, instead of fighting about who gets a month or not?

As cheesy as my post may be, or how stupid is may be, it is my personal opinion. Everyone has the right to an opinion, no matter how stupid you may think it to be and if you do think my post is stupid, just say it. Its your opinion, I'll accept it as that. Just because its your opinion doesn't mean its true and I don't care. You have never walked a thousand miles in my shoes or know a thing about me, so your opinion isn't completely true, you haven't evaulated everything about me to form a true and honest opinion, you're only forming your opinions on bits and pieces but it is your opinion and you are entitled to think it.

Race months to me are pointless, I mean it is good to be like "Yay, people like me did something for the world!" and take pride in your race. I think people only want race months to be honored and feel special for the accomplishments that thier race made. Face the facts, those aren't your accomplishments. Why should you be able to take pride in those accomplishments? Why should you get attention, honor and special care for nothing you helped with or had anything to do with? You have to work for it, if you want all those things. The only time you deserve to be honored, get attention and special care if you worked to accomplish something.

And if you really do want a race month for whatever race you are, then don't argue about it online that does nothing to help your cause. Start a petition, give speechs and etc, whining about how you don't have a month online doesn't mean anything. If you really want that month badly, you have to work for it. Things aren't always handed to you. Getting what you want is something you have to work for.
