Stupidest shlt ever. Special treatment will only make you realise we haven't advanced one bit. And the idea that African Americans created everything from rock and roll to dreadlocks...Fucck outta here.

And before you pull out your already over-expired race card: :2up:

It is the stupidest idea ever and only furthers racism.

Everything black people do nowadays only sets them back further and continually seperates them from those they wish to be equal with.

They are not equal, but above and get preferntial treatment almost everwhere they go. Yet one racial slur uttered or some ignorant racist will make them think how the white man is still keeping them down.

They get jobs before me. They get scholarships before me. They get into schools before me. Oh but we are equal?

If equality is what they are searching for, they should expect nothing and get nothing. Their own TV channels, a holiday for some womanizer piece of sh!t, and a whole month dedicated to them as well as the aformentioned benefits make civil rights more of a joke than anything else.

For those who want to call me racist for my above diatribe, go ahead. Yet that only shows the ignorance you have is of the same level of ignorance as an actual racist.

Funny, it seems I should be fighting for equality after it is all said and done.

My current business location was sued for not having minority employees some time back. So now regardless of qualifications, a black person will get hired more likely than a white person because they are black.

Schools...hmm, every one in the United States? I don't see schools accepting white kids to meet quotas.

And scholarships? Oh right, because there is a United Caucasian College Fund too. :rolleyes:

I'm just curious why it bothers people so much... Why do you care if we get a month or not? And what does "having a month" mean. If you don't want to learn about black history in feb then just dont. Are you jealous or something?


And to the godafther... look at the amount of blacks vs. whites on college campuses, and then come back and tell me that black people always get into school and get scolarships first.. You cant.

Exactly.....


People making uneducated comments ftl......
Because minority and more specifically, black representation of population at 99 percent of colleges and universities across America is so significant.:rolleyes:


and really, who cares about ONE MONTH?
I guess the other eleven months of the year aren't dedicated to history or culture that isn't based primarily on European ( read white) subject matter....
Like anything different is learned from year to year. It's the same repetitive shyt, and even so, how is it really hurting you to "learn" about a different culture that is a major part of US history?

And MLK day being based on a as you put it,womanizing individual...

Hmmm, lets look at this a little more closely....

American historians tend to revere figures such as Thomas Jefferson, who was a womanizer and one of the " founding fathers" of this country. So, under your logic, are his accomplishments any less significant because of his extracurricular exploits? NO. So that argument is null and void....

LOL at BHM being racist, next thing you're going to say is "BET" and "TV 1" is racist too.

Of all the things you could be worried about, you pick the most innocent thing to b.itch about.

BHM was never suppose to be mainstream as it has now become. It made so that the black youth would know their people's accomplishments Because the only thing in school that talks about black, talks about them being nothing more than slaves.

funny, it seems like the only people who car about black history month poor white guys who will blame minorities for all their shortcomings. please go back to rocking the legend and saying USF is the greatest football team in Florida.

Why was it so important that blacks get a month?


And to the godafther... look at the amount of blacks vs. whites on college campuses, and then come back and tell me that black people always get into school and get scolarships first.. You cant.
Look at the amount of whites vs. blacks that drop out of high school. I'm sure you will find it reflects the amount of whites vs. blacks in college. And trust me, you can get a lot more money being a black student than a white student.

Do you own this business?what were the details of this lawsuit?As for Getting hired because you are black,thats just a opinion so its void.

Schools:this again is stupid.have you thought that maybe because they are already met?

Scholarships: google white ethnic scholarships.

Why is it so significant for you to oppose it?

How is it harming you in any way?
Are you not able to live a normal life during the month of Feb because of Black History Month?


And secondly...would you care to provide us with factual stats and information that back up the claim that black students are provided more money for school in comparison to white students?

LOL...no shyt... It has been historically proven that white performers rerecorded
music that was originally created by black artists because of refusal to release music by black artists during the that time.....

and dreads, that shouldn't even be an argument....LOL...


Seriously, this shyt makes me laugh.


First people say that we don't do ****: we don't work, we sell drugs, have illegitimate children, which statiscally there are more white people leading in these areas btw, but then we're accused of taking your scholarships, jobs, and opportunities in the same breath...So which one is it?

I think I'm not alone when I say that the white man faces no immediate threat when it comes to the white man's collective control over the world...

I agree with most of what you're saying, except for the part about scholarships. Scholarships are so far from fair it's ridiculous. African American students are not held up to the same standards as Caucasians. I can remember back at our high school, they gave out awards for PSAT scores and. One of my best friends, he's black, won an award and he had a lower score than me. It's like apples and oranges.

I'm not black..I grew up wanting alot of stuff that I couldnt have and wanting to go places and do things that I never got to do as a kid... but damn sure.. you aint got nothing to be mad about because youre not black, today's modern society we work as a group and as individuals we're a diversified nationality. we all have our own reasons for holidays or special events and you cant say that its not true because it is a fact.. not any opinion. Alot of people would have something to say about it because first of all, nobody did anything to you. Nobody made you a slave or took away your freedom or even locked you up, so why not go learn some history and then understand why certain nationalities have certain holidays.. well enough said by me.. I just dont see why youre getting mad at something that you have no part of.

truth is.. some people stay ignorant. some people learn. people make mistakes. the things you seen on television influence the minds of people to act and take part in something stupid or move up and educate themselve to being smart and richer than youre average friend. but black history month does not have anything to do to slow down or holdback black people from doing anything, black history month is for those who care about their past and what happened in their past and motivating other to join in on what they call THEIR RIGHT TO FREEDOM AND SPEECH. therefore, its not the event thats causing anything, its just individual people who go out there and make stupid mistakes and you look at one and judge him or her and then judge everyone else because of their skin color, you really overlooked on yourself because their all kinds of nationality of people who made mistakes and got arrest and been ignorant, that includes white,black,asian,hispanics, whatever else there is out there everyone is different so you cant judge one person and put it into a WHOLE SOCIETY PROBLEM, when youre not looking at it both ways.

There are a multitude of months and "holidays" that are ethnically and organizationally oriented, that are celebrated througout the year.

Do you enjoy posting about each one of my posts you nutsucking ******?

Yes, Thomas Jefferson was a womanizer. But do we have a whole ****ing day to celebrate him being a founding father? Of course not. He's white.

Oh, and you pulled the suffering card. IT'S 2008 MORON, GET OVER IT AND STOP CRYING!

Your only line of defense is continually bringing up that I like USF, and of course because I have an Acura Legend that is something to get on my ass for.

Well how about you go back to being a Gator fanboy who couldn't get into the school because his grades couldn't cut it.

Should have gone to the United Negro College Fund jackass!

Edit: Lets get the NAACP involved too. Right, because they don't encourage racism.

I read this essay and while I do agree with the general premise, I still fail to see how it is that BHM or its intentions are harmful to our sociey.....

Like someone stated before, the only real significant part blacks play in textbooks are that of slaves or something relating to slavery...

Historically, blacks have had more of an impact in the growth and the success of this country beyond slavery.

If BHM is to be gotten rid of, black history as pertaining to how we have impacted America, should be included in textbooks, and not just be something that people are forced to look at one month out of the year.



Edit: Not only have blacks been left out of textbooks but so have Asians, hispanics, italians, and many other ethnic groups that have helped to shape this country into what it is now.....

KidSaru:



I have a question for you...

There are a multitude of months and "holidays" that are ethnically and organizationally oriented, that are celebrated througout the year.

Obviously said holidays are not as publicized or mainstream as Black History
Month....


Are you in favor of doing away with them as well, or just specifically BHM?
If so, what would be your reasons.....

No and you mentioned my reason why, because they are not as publicized. I am all for positive advancement of humans as a whole but I will never agree with advancing a single race. It's went from all about equality to placing a race above others in some instances all because someone is ashamed of certain people that belong to their race.

It is very possible that we will have a president with some African American heritage...But we can't get over this.

This will be pure speculation on my part but I believe it's only because of the
fact that BHM came before all these other special interest holidays.....

I don't think it is due to it being intentionally overhyped or given more importance.

Why is it so significant for you to oppose it?

How is it harming you in any way?
Are you not able to live a normal life during the month of Feb because of Black History Month?


And secondly...would you care to provide us with factual stats and information that back up the claim that black students are provided more money for school in comparison to white students?

I'l wait while you get those #'s for me...........
When did I say I opposed it? Never. I honestly don't care, I do kind of think its a bit ridiculous though that to be "equal" blacks are the only race with a month officially dedicated to them. Kind of contradicts itself don't you think?

Can I find a number that will prove that black students receive more money, no. They don't overall. Proportionally though I bet they do (money/people). Like Imbosile said, a less qualified black, asian, native american, female, etc, student will find it easier to get money than a white male.

I don't think I'm better than anyone because of race, gender, or anything like that. I'm just saying that laws should not be put in place that make it more beneficial for someone to hire a minority worker or give a minority student a spot over a majority student purely because they are a minority. Sadly that is what a lot of laws are doing nowadays.

But to put my argument into perspective, wouldn't reasoning dictate that

Any black American that is socially aware knows that they are nothing but a detriment to race relations....

Nine times out of ten, some things aren't blatantly based on racism.....

This is also the reason why people are becoming so desensitized by anything that comes out in the national media that is labeled as being racially motivated.

Yes, Thomas Jefferson was a womanizer. But do we have a whole ****ing day to celebrate him being a founding father? Of course not. He's white.

Oh, and you pulled the suffering card. IT'S 2008 MORON, GET OVER IT AND STOP CRYING!

Your only line of defense is continually bringing up that I like USF, and of course because I have an Acura Legend that is something to get on my ass for.

Well how about you go back to being a Gator fanboy who couldn't get into the school because his grades couldn't cut it.

Should have gone to the United Negro College Fund jackass!

Edit: Lets get the NAACP involved too. Right, because they don't encourage racism.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton keep racism alive with every word they speak.

Your first statement proved my point. (No need for it, don't get mad at me because your the uneducated one who can't get his point across)

Actually we do have a holiday to celebrate his achievements, its called President's Day.

When did I pull the suffering card ? :goodjob:

That wasn't my line of defense the facts were, that statement was made to equal your ignorance.

Actually I did get into UF, but lets see go to school for free on HOPE or pay out-of-state tuition you do the math, oh yea they also didn't offer my major Emergency Management.

Don't need to United Negro College Fund, I get my scholarships on Merit not race sorry if that makes you feel less about yourself.

The month is just there to recognize Black achievements and contributions in America. If you read basic history, you would think the only thing blacks did were be slaves in America and have the Civil Rights movement.

No one is FORCING anyone to even read about anyhing about Black history this month so whats the problem??

Thats not right, If I had kids I would tell them to dress like rodney king and write "Beat Me" on my forehead with black marker.

I DO NOT agree with black history month whatsoever.
If ANY ONE wants to know anything about blacks and history, Google that ****. Don't devote an entire month to preaching about it.

Actually people are forcing black history on white and other races. In public school around the state teachers are making their students dress up as a "famous" black man on certain days. Thats not right, If I had kids I would tell them to dress like rodney king and write "Beat Me" on my forehead with black marker.

I DO NOT agree with black history month whatsoever.
If ANY ONE wants to know anything about blacks and history, Google that ****. Don't devote an entire month to preaching about it.

Lets take God out of schools and just talk about black history.....Somethings not right there. I'm not a religious person, The majority of america is though.
lol no

Teachers can not even devote 2 days to even cover things like black history month or anything that doesn't show up on State test anymore, because the curriculum will not allow it.

I actually wondered when you would put your 2 cents on this topic. So you do have a problem with students being forced to dress up like famous white ppl, right?

The only schools that I have seen to really recognize BHM, were majority Black schools and even that only consisted of two assignments on the matter and having to hear about a famous black person over the morning announcement

All I can say is, like I've always said, is who gives a fucc if there is BHM? Goddamn people as if there isn't enough problems in the world, you have to biitch about a month dedicated to learn about something different? All the white folks that just can't stand it that "blacks have their own month," how does this affect your life? Does your income level drop during this month because of BHM? Does your marriage go sour? Do you or anyone in your family get deathly ill or sick at all because of the month? It just doesn't make sense to create misery out of nothing. If you don't like it, move on to something else that you do like. Why worry about it? Later, QD.

Boo ****ing hoo.. "I'm being forced to learn another culture" Why not take a page from their book then and boycott school? I mean obviously your view on black history is hindering your ability to learn so why even go?

I said I wouldnt respond but its just too tempting. In school we had to learn the Diary of Anne Frank front and back. Being in Alaska we had to appreciate Native Alaskan Culture and I am a better person for it. I'm sure if you live in south texas you learn about Mexican American history.. as in Hawaii you learn about the culture of pacific islanders.

Its called expanding your mind and if you care not to do that then you are the epitome if ignorance being bliss. Black history does play a role in how this country was formed.. its also a great measure of how far the U.S has come along. Black history is not only about "African Americans," many whites played an intricate part of the movement as well.

Some of you who claim to be so intelligent (OP,RedGT, others) amaze me with your follower mentality. I'd be more impressed if some of you could form your own opinion and make a thought proviking argument rather than repeating what you've seen on tv or read on a website.

Nah I've respected what you say. Even if I don't agree I will respect someones opinion but when people start repeating what they see on Fox News, or hear on Limbaugh or Hannity and cannot put together their own thought and rationale.. thats just plain bull****.

I didnt disagree with what you said.. I guess I just take a different perspective. True it should be who cares? But I tend to care to be enlightened and I think the citizens of this country can do a lot more if they were educated theirselves.

I don't understand the notion of dismissing knowledge that helped form this country, especially when we are living through a great mark in history at the moment. And I'm not just talking about black history but Latino's, Whites.. everyone.

the only thing i do not get is you say learn about different culture.. the AVERAGE black and white person are pretty close to the same culture(not saying they are the same but are pretty close on the spectrum). however i've never been black so what do i know?

The history of blacks and whites do have a big difference. I wont say one had it any worse than the other but there is a significant difference there.

By your rationale I shouldn't have an opinion on the civil rights movement because I didn't live it. Pearl Harbor doesn't matter cause I was not actually there..

Point is these events lead to the society we have today and that is why it should not be forgotten. Even if everything is equal LS2 that doesn't mean you turn your back to what got us here.

true and we're supposed to learn from our history and never repeat the bad. it's always better to have a inside view to open the eyes of an outsider

Hold up, now, man. I see where you're at now. You misunderstood my point. My "Who cares..." comment was in reference to all those (white folks) who make it a priority to complain about BHM. Not in general about who cares. I was asking those people why they care so much and that if they didn't like it, find something else to do. Later, QD.
