your thoughts on Black History Month

[green91]

[quickdodge®]

He is. Lolol. It is now 97 The River. Good music, too. Later, QD.

[JITB]

[green91]

ok i apologize for the name calling

[AtifSajid]

This Poll is racist!

[Kevykev]

Yeah, ban paul for posting the gayest poll options ever.

[thinkfast®]

total racise!!

[JITB]

this poll is why all races have issues with white people..

[Jason04srt4]

LOL, If anything it is the other way around. Atleast in america. I bet latin and asian people dislike more blacks than they do whites. LOL, I love atlanta and all the racial crap that gets started down here.

[PSINXS]

however i do agree with tracy on everyone ahving brownw babies. i really want mixed kids. not for any racial superiority reasons, but just cuz i think 9 out of 10 times any type of mix comes out pretty. i fear having ugly kids on the real.

i knew u were racist

[Jason04srt4]

i knew u were racist

Nah, I'm just real. Would you rather me kiss black people's ass/act fake to there face, and then degrade them behind there backs.

Yeah, I know i come off as being racist/ignorant. But, oh'well. Everything I say I believe to be true from my own experiences from going to a mostly black High school, and working for 9 years in a mostly black job.

[JITB]

I was just joking, but since u said that i dotn care where u went ot school and who u worked with. You are not black.. soo that means nothing.

Whats wrong with blacks celebrating there history? Asians do it there country. puerto ricans have a parade in NY. Evn gays have a whole week for themselves in San Fran. What harm does it do? Noones stopping white people from havign there own month - week whatever. You will say "if white people had a month for them or if they had there own channel everyone would say its racists" Tell me what would you all celebrate if there was a White History Month that isnt already celebrated? ANything that isnt already celebrated. Everyones wants to be equal but, any minority is gonna want to have a way of remembering the struggle or their own history.

it would make since that most minorities would stick together more than the majority of a place, simple because they can all relate to each other.

[Jason04srt4]

Ok, Your right. I apologize if I have offended anyone with the post I have made. Me personally, I don't like anything pro-balck. So I will just keep away from threads will racial issues.

Peace

Being real is cool, but I doubt your hypothesis is correct! Who knows, maybe the ones you come incontact show biases towards a race that isn't yours.

You might be real but they might be questionable.

I certainly know asians and hispanics that have a disliking towards whites, can i draw any type of honorable conclusion form that, no not really.

Lack of positive interaction can cause those prejudices to arise. Society can definately facilitate that "lack of positive interaction" in many MANY ways. no need to elaborate.

[HalfBaked]

I didn't read the whole thread.

But here is what I think...


IT'S RACIST AS HELL! I MEAN FUCK, THEY PUT IT IN FEBRUARY?! WHATS UP WITH THAT, WHY CAN'T BLACK HISTORY MONTH BE A NORMAL MONTH WITH A NORMAL AMOUNT OF DAYS. SHIT IS WACK MAN...

[JITB]

Ok, Your right. I apologize if I have offended anyone with the post I have made. Me personally, I don't like anything pro-balck. So I will just keep away from threads will racial issues.

Peace

i dont get it, why does anythign pro-black bother you? thats like me a mazda lover being against u because u like dodges. I mean it does me no harm soo why the hard feelings.

[Kevykev]

Peace

Do you hate the KKK?

[quickdodge®]

^^^ I've been asking that question through-out the whole thread. Later, QD.

[Jason04srt4]

Do you hate the KKK?

Ofcourse, There a pro-white extremist christian group. I'm christian, so I can't stand the fact that they use biblical history as a reason to say that they are superior to other races.

[Kevykev]

I understand, remember I never called you racist. Just knew that there was more to your story.

[CapnNismo]

I believe Black History Month is a crock of shit as well and we only have the NAACP to blame. Sure, the NAACP did great things back in the Civil Rights Movement days, but after that ended and all of the segregation and other shit was done away with, they pull the race card every chance they get.

They should teach black history with normal American history ... they certainly have the time in a lot of these high schools in America. But then at the same time they would be sued and forced to teach other racial history in the school. But if they try to do that, I call bullshit. Latinos didn't play a big role in American history until the mid to late 1800s and then Asians have always been ignored. I think they should teach about the concentration camps they had for Japanese Americans during WW2 and more about the oppression the Chinese went through in the West during the building of the rail road. So pretty much the only "races" that played any real influential role in the forming of the modern USA are whites, blacks, and asians.

[JITB]

soo who is suposed to creat this month or day or holiday or whatever for the asians , and latinos? Whos stoppipng them form doing tihs again? not the naacp... and i dont think anyone. So again why does black history a problem? And they do teach black history at schools along with american history.

[CapnNismo]

I know they do teach black history with American history in middle schools in Houston County ... high school ... eh, not so much.

[Nismo]

I want Asian history month. More interesting any how.

[coolZero]

I still stand by it......and no one has answered it yet......What has BET or other black-only enterprises done to you to hurt you?

Later, QD.

Nothing

And I'll add this. I think blacks short change themsleves by only having a month. History is all the time.

[Kevykev]

I want Asian history month. More interesting any how.

I saw a program on the Chin Dynasty via The Discovery Channel. That's some Azn History.

[Firefightin_tC]

It's funny, people wonder what about the WET...White Entertainment Televison...then maybe it's me but what the fuck is NBC, ABC, and CBS?

We got UPN and BET....we got screwed...again, unless you want to consider ESPN, lol. What can I say...we own Sportscenter.

Let's not forget Telemundo for the Latinos and WE for the women.
As far as Black History goes, to be honest...as a black man there are portions of black history that I don't know, the same goes for every single race. No one can sit here and say they know every prominent figure in thier race that effected history and the world as we know it. We can name the most famous ones and a few could possible even name more than that.

I agree with alot of people, I don't want a Black History Month because to be honest...why should there be a month set aside just for Black History. It should be taught along with everything else in schools and for general knowledge.

But then, it's just my two cents.

[JITB]

what schools did u all go to where black ihstory wasnt taught other than februarary..

[IndianStig]

UPN gets the shittiest quality of all channels on Comcast
lol

ps. I think Black History Month is a whole bunch of hooha

i mean where is White History Month
Asian (oriental) History Month
Asian (brown) History Month
Asian (all) History Month
Middle eastern History Month
Hispanic History Month
Pacific Islander History Month

where is all that stuff??????

although i did get this pretty tight Guiness Black Leather Jacket worth $160 for free because of the Liquor Store and black history month events, lol

[quickdodge®]

^^^ How come you won't shut the fucc up? You never add anything worth a shit to a conversation. Later, QD.

[JITB]

everyone wants their own celeberation , whos to blame for not having your own.

[2turbo4u]

The reason there a black history month, is that black people wanted a way for the world to see what we have done in this country beside being a slave. As far as WET or what ever their channels or networks like 390 for Koreans,393 for Japanese on comcast lets don't talk about telemundo which been around before BET. If you want your own programing or station just get the money together a start up one just like Bob Johnson did in the early 80's(BET). Let's look at how long it took for Asian americans to finally be seen on t.v. not in kung-fu movies but in everyday situations? America haves a dark past, but our current generation of 16-25 yrs old people believe because they go to school w/blacks and others everything in the past should be forgotten. Look how long it took MTV to play black music, then rap? Why are their only UPN,WB that have most of the black programing? Racism is still here in this country, and it would never be erased. Now if only those N-rappers and sports stars stop acting like they knough their history and respect themselves and their people the rest of the world could see us in a better light. I wish we could go back to those days of dressing like people instead of animals 1950-1960's. People dressed more business like and clean and they looked like they where about something. Today we look like where about been bums.

[2turbo4u]

this joke is 100% true, BET is a crock of shit... if i started WET tomorrow the Jesse Jackson and followers would be having a sit in front of my house. why don't the Jews have JEWtv? you don't see them bitching and complaining about having a history month... hell millions of them were exterminated off the planet, but the blacks were inslaved... hmm what is worse??? i guess since blacks lived through their sufferage that they are entitled to something

African American??? wtf is that... that is some fucked up shit, i would love to know how many blacks have even been to their so called mother land. what is amazing is there is black people across the globe, but you won't find blacks in europe saying they are African European

seperation feeds racism.

Paul you got to remember Jews have power and blacks don't. When was the last time a government of country paid blacks for what was taken from them. Jews have many days they celebrate their heritage which is called Jewish holidays. I'm from NYC and everyminute their another holiday for them but the rest of the people have to work? How many European blacks are their compare to the ones in the states? Most of them went their looking for a better life not shipped overthere. I myself is a European black from the Westindies and my parents went to England to have a better life for their selves and family. It takes a lot of people to make a change look what MLK did. In other countries their are not enough blacks to change the minds of the government. Look what happened in France, did you even knough that their a black hoods outside of the U.S.?

[ClipseGST]

Black History month isn't bad in essence, but the basic premise of it is flawed. No one ethnicity of people should a month. Black, Indian, Asian, White and everyone else should all be taught in the classroom. Cuz to be honest... the United States is what it is because of all of us. Blacks (Slavery), Indians (Colonization), Asians (Push into the West), Whites (Civil War). We all have influenced history.... so we should learn it all.

[.blank cd]

Im not mad that we have a black history month but what i wanna know is, why we gotta get the shortest month???:confused:

[2.0civic]

i know somebody is going to get pissed about this but fuck it. I think its stupid as hell to have black history month. If we had white or any other race for that matter, we'd all be racists. I hate all the racism bullshit. i know racism is wrong, but i dont owe anybody a damn thing bc their family suffered from slavery. i hate how black people call other people niggas but they would get super pissed if we called them that. If you dont want to be called shit like that, set the example and dont say it to each other. hypocrites. peace.

[Kevykev]

Happy Black HISTORY MONTH PEOPLE!!!!

[JITB]

i think white people should get mad when ppl call them crackers... how can u be upset @ black folks because they get mad at u for calling them out of their name.
