White history month?, racism Options

[TreesTurnMeOn]

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.

Oh yeah..I forgot to add something that I learned.

I live in Mississippi, so we learn a lot about the whole slavery deal. Well everybody thinks that we are all bad and crap because our ancestors owned slaves and treated them poorly. That is NOT true.

The only people that owned slaves were rich. Therefore, only 10% of the south owned slaves. That isn't a lot. But if that isn't enough for you, only 3% treated their slaves poorly. The other 7% treated them nicely, like a family member.

And before we go off on southern people, I would like to add that Northern people owned slaves also. They might have owned less slaves, yes, thats true, but about 90% of the northern people that owned slaves treated them poorly also.
