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 have to say, I agree with everyone. I agree with ryfitaDF, white people are recognized every single day. When you think about blacks in history, all that comes to mind is Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King. I don't know if that's simply because that was the only time they really stood out in the grand scheme of things (which I highly doubt is true), or if it was because white people control what is taught... although I highly doubt that as well, because in today's histroy books, they also teach you that slavery and discrimination was WRONG, so we can't say that they're biased.
I do agree that "Black History Month" is a little bit... well, it kind of leaves the rest of us out. I think that we shouldn't focus on educating about blacks for one month a year, but instead, we should focus on ALL minorities ALL the time. -Meg |
