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.

something is being done, that's what we're debating about. we're not saying get rid of black history month and stuff, we're just wanting to make everything equal, since that's what it was about in the first place.

if i go talk to any black person in here and ask them if they were enslaved, are they gonna say yes?
no they're not.

if i am jewish and i put on my test that i am am i gonna get as much extra points as black people get?
no i am not.

did my great-grandmother die in the holocaust?
yes she did.

do i get any recognition for that?
no i don't.

and i'm not just trying to talk about jewish people, it's all types. black people do get more recognition than others because they're black. sure, white people are the majority and there's a lot of things about white people, but it's not because they're white. black people get more recognition purely because they're black, and that's what's not fair. sure, crimes were committed in the past by white people, but i didn't do anything. why should i be blamed? i'm against racist white people, yet i'm blamed for the crimes they've committed.

people have committed crimes against white people too, ya know.

That's not what was proposed. It was to recognize a white history month. The first post said nothing about honoring other minorities.

And I kind of agree with you, Jewish and Black people did get a copious amount of mistreatment and injustice, Jewish perhaps more than Blacks. But then again, African history isn't well documented, so who knows?

I know that white people nowadays aren't responsible for the horrors of past centuries. But it did happen and we shouldn't just scrap it. Hispanic History Month, Asian History Month, Native American History Month, Jewish History Month, those are all things that need to be widely celebrated. The reason why BHM got so big is because we organized it, we demanded it, we fought for it. Get those groups to do the same.
