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.

i totally agree with the history book thing . ya im black and im not racist or anything but all i want to say is everday were in history class we mostly learn about white people , the only time you really here about black people is during black history month or to talkabout them being slaves and how bad there life was. other than that everything else is basically white people that we learn about. it may not be a national holiday but in all our education it is mostly about white people soo that basically is like a white history month exceptit last WAYYY LONGER THAN A MONTH!

like "miss mata" sayd black colleges are not just for black people . its just the white people dont apply.

black history month is just giving black people a time to express themselves . we learn soo much about white history that black history deserves to be noticed

Okay.....maybe the history books are mostly about white people because white people created the country and are the main race (besides indian) that started the country. It isn't because anyone is being racist. It is just a fact that white people played a longer role in history than the black people did. And half of the stuff about the whites are bad becuase half of it has to do with slavery. So really, we never talk about any of the good things white people did. If we took out the some of the slavery sections and put in sections about the good things that white people accomplished, people would go off saying the school board is being racist and not giving blacks enough recognition.

And I never said that whites weren't allowed to go to negro schools. I said that black people are allowed to get scholorships just for their race and white people don't. They get all in our face about being racist and here they are giving out scholorships because of a person's color. You say that black people get the scholorships because most of them live in poverty, but if we say that black people live in poverty, then we will get sued or something like that.

It seems to me like most people look at the racial issues like this. If we get something out of it, no matter if it is harsh or not, then we don't care. But if we state the same exact fact but we don't get anything out of it, then it is horrible.

It is so very confusing
