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: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58363 things to keep in mind whilest you debate:

QUOTE And as far as having a White History month, they already have 11 of them, let the Blacks have their one. What the heck? How are blacks more deserving than any other race? Ever think that you learn more about white people in history class is because pretty much all the major inventions and scientific advancements were made by whites / Americans / Europeans? I'm not saying that others arent capable of it, but its true. (Not to be racist or anything). A white history month would be nice for us to be able to celebrate our European heritage. Same for any other race... Asians, Hispanics, ect. |

Which is one reason why we dont need a white history month. We hear about these people all year long. Black history month isn't a holiday or a clebration where us black people get together and act like we're more deseving than other races with parades and parties. Its a month where we recognize the black men and women who also contributed to our society as well. I'm in my 12th year in school, and I never heard about a black scientist, political activist, writer, or inventor outside of black history month. I'm grateful for this month. FYI There is a Hispanic and Asian history month. Sptember 15 - October15 is Hispanic History Month and May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. |
