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. |

doesn't any black person realize that 'black history month' and 'black appreciation month' and affirmative action are there because whites think you're inferior and need extra help so that you can be 'equal' to them?

Black History Month wasn't created by white people. It was started as Negro History Week by Carter G. Woodson, a BLACK man. And affirmative action was set in place to help all underepresented populations in the job market and institutions of higher education. So if you were a man and you applied for a job as a nurse, a traditionally female occupation, affirmative action could help you get the job. |

So if you were a man and you applied for a job as a nurse, a traditionally female occupation, affirmative action could help you get the job. the way affirmative action works is, they say "race", you say "black", and you get extra point on your application. (i never said black history month was created by white people. read it. ) |
