why dont we have a "white history month"

[Foze]

Lol I could what some of you would be like if you were black

you black, brah?

[magog704]

Lol and I thought black people were the ones who bitched about racism and unfairness


Strong thread

this. itt people cry over the WORDS "black history month". no one is taxing you for black history month, or infringing on your right to hear other history or some ****.

so you're just bitching just to have something to bitch about. and that's what women do.

[nimble]

Name something whites have gone through similar to what blacks went through?

This post is retarded for many reasons. I'm just going to mention one thing, and that is, have these people gone through it themselves? If they want to remember their ancestors, then call it something that focuses on slaves, not black people.

It's called reverse racism. Welcome to the real world!

I'm not pissed at black history or culture, i'm pissed because of the selective nature of what is taught.

Why do you have to equate it in such terms? It's a self defeatist attitude. The way it is taught only serves to further the us versus them mentality IMO.

why are you so concerned about letting a minority get ahead? you're the one creating barriers by saying blacks only have what they have because of entilement programs.

i'm not afraid of the black panthers, black power or black history. I'm part of the majority and what a vocal minority does has no affect on me

lol @ angry white man syndrome and paranoia about stuff not being fair

What barriers? It is 2010.

sociocultural bias. read through this thread and give my a rough percentage of people who WOULDN'T hire someone based on race. how many threads get bannedclosed for racism? a lot.

it is 2010. my parents can recall seeing "colored" bathrooms. that's one generation ago.

[HexC]

What barriers? It is 2010.

The barriers that are sustaining the whole "we and them" attitude.

[YUL]

What barriers? It is 2010.

-discrimination in law enforcement and the legal system
-discrimination in lending practices
-discrimination in labor practices

i think blacks already get more than enough attention in the media. we don't need to know who invented the peanut.

Our public schools teach BHM. Wouldnt you say thats a bit compromising when it comes to equality?

lol at ppl saying blks put themselves in the slave trade... Even if they did two wrongs make a right? I would have no problem if ppl provided educated responses and reasons but I see none of it here, only a pure hatred of black history month


all the history books I've used contain 95 percent whites and 5 percent to minorites( not only blk ppl, looking at multiple ppl In this thread)

link for what exactly? i mentioned a couple thing.

Nice try, buddy.

So just because they are a minority they are supposed to be able to discuss black power and focus solely on black history? What kind of double standard is this?

Hold on, I'm going to go to Nigeria and start holding White Power meetings....because I'm a minority and it shouldn't bother anybody.

Great logic.

We're too busy creating the future to care about our past

If that is what you think, then I suggest you go to the nearest city hall, get you a soap box to stand on, and scream as loud as you can that you aren't where you want to be in life because "deez der white folks is racist!"

Blacks are cops too, ya know...So are credit lenders...my boss is Black. Your argument is invalid.

basically yea. you get all upset when kids call an old man?

get real son. you need to let things slide and people do their thing for the betterment of mankind

[HaterSalad]

Lol I could what some of you would be like if you were black

I have some very successful black friends that work in the same field as I do. They worked their ass off and paid their dues. Their parents are hard workers and had good jobs as well. I don't see it being any different for me if I were black. It's not about what color you are, it's about your ethics and your upbringing. Sadly, the majority of black people are brought up in a poor environment and they pass it down to their 18 kids that they can't afford.

that's libertine tabula rasa mentality and i have no use for it. IT'S NOT HURTING SHIIT. find something else to bitch about (there are much more pressing social issues).

Lol, wtf is "reverse" racism? Are you stupid?

It's the same sh*t.

pls aware me on what this 'black power' is?

[YUL]

lol

so by lol ur saying these things don't happen and have no repercussions on people coming together and moving forward?

do minorities just "need to get over it"?

[jakesteed101]

The barriers that are sustaining the whole "we and them" attitude.

Agreed, sh*t is retarded when you really stop to think about it.

Way to ago America.

[128]

you black, brah?

yeah

I have some very successful black friends that work in the same field as I do. They worked their ass off and paid their dues. Their parents are hard workers and had good jobs as well. I don't see it being any different for me if I were black.

I meant some people talk about black people crying about nonsense when they arent really any different, if they were black they would be those same people

its 20****ing10, i never hear anybody bring up slavery but NOI or the very people complaining about everything blacks have/do, and people bringing up BET or black colleges, are they aware of how those things started? some of those were a direct result of racism a couple generations ago, and black History month is black AMERICAN history month, do you really want a white American history month or just out of spite? Some of you need to get real and remember how most of these things even became, black history month is not bothering anybody (there are some things the majority gets and the minority doesnt and vice versa it would be the same if things were the other way around) Idc if its stays or goes but I really dont see how some of you can have such a deep hatred for something that barely effects you

That's just dumb. Look at the percentage of women with degrees and in the workforce now compared to 30 years ago.

look at how much our culture has shifted from stay at home moms to working women? i don't get your point.

maybe you're saying how much has changed in 30 years, and you're right. america has made leaps and bounds in terms of social equality and equal treatment for minorities.
