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.

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?

i believe that also,
it shouldn't have to matter but just like condelizza rice winning that position i forgot which one but she is now the first "black woman" to reach congress. whites feel they need to have sympathy for the fact that she is black and that blacks werent treated correctly before so they have to specify the race before anything.

personally i dont care about any month being dedicated to any race, i mean we only have 12 months in a year how many more months can we give up, we are gunna have like TV specials every so often we are gunna get sick.

the way affirmative action works is, they say "race", you say "black", and you get extra point on your application.?

That is not the way affirmative action works. I mean, yes, race is a factor, not just Black, but Asian, Latino, Native American, but you also have to be qualified.

Wait a minute, what does Condoleeza Rice have to do with anything? She's not the first Black woman to reach Congress, she's the first woman of color to hold the position of Secretary of State. And why do you have Black woman in quotes? You don't think she's Black? And her getting the position has nothing to do with her being Black. While I don't agree with some of her policies, her being Republican and all, she's proven a grasp of foreign policy and that she can handle the pressures of the job.

lol you didnt get what i said, i said that they had to say "black woman", if it were a white woman it would just be "woman." its a little off balance, what if african americans were the first to dominate this country and then they would call a black woman just a woman and a white , or an asian whatever nationality they are.
