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.

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.

very true. maybe we should just have 'mis-treated slave month'

I understand now about your history book comments. But I kind of would like to change the subject to why black people get more freedom to talk about different races than white people can. It just..doesn't click with me.

its because america has an over-compensatory attitude towards African-Americans, and so everyone is afraid to call them on it, mbecause they've suffered in the past. However, white people have been the abuseres in the past, so its ok to remember that and judge them... warped logic

what people need to remember is that racism doesn't just refer to white people hating blacks. it can be abything from blacks hating whites, to whites hating hispanics, to hipanics hating asians.
