wow.. thats stupidOriginally Posted by SLOWLYbtngU
Yes it would be if there is such a month.Originally Posted by SLOWLYbtngU
If someone wants to truly learn about MY culture, why do they have to be remind of it by a "month"? If you want to learn about my Latin heritage, ask me. I'll gladly tell you what Latin America is REALLY like. I know about my Tainos, about Christopher Columbus finding us wayyy before he ever found "America", about how the word "Indians" came from Columbus thinking he'd reached the West Indies and therefore he'd found "Indians" rather than the Bahamas/Puerto Rico/DR/Cuba, and about our own slavery history in our own sugar cane plantations. You wanna know? Ask me, and I'll gladly tell you. It's MY history. It's my heritage. But do I wear it on my arm or tattoo it on my forehead?? Hell no. It doesn't make me any less proud. It doesn't make me forget my history and ancestry.
So just because some politician thinks up to give my ancestry a "month" doesn't mean squat to me. People are going to be no less tolerant of me that month anyway.
You want real change? You want people to not pre-judge you?
Then represent YOUR culture and YOUR heritage in the best light possible. If that means you think that wearing your hat sideways, your pants down to your ankles, blinged out teeth, and talking to where noone understands what the fuck you're saying is "good"......then keep on keeping on, but you have no damn room to complain IMO then.
wow kelly look at all this controversy you stirred
IA members are outraged....LOL
How come it is called BLACK HISTORY MONTH? Shouldn't it be AFRICAN AMERICAN MONTH? I mean so many people bitched to have AFRICAN AMERICAN status even though I don't know what a AFRICAN AMERICAN is... is there a AFRICAN AMERICAN country/land/territory? So if there aren't any BLACKS in the US why is it BLACK HISTORY MONTH?
why do they label themselves african??? shouldn't it be more like the COUNTRY they came from.. not the land mas..
i call myself american.. not north american.... and further more.. if u were born here YOUR AMERICAN not anything else...
(i think brett posted a speech by andy rooney that talks about that topic)
exactly so my question still stands if they are African Americans why is it called BLACK HISTORY MONTH?Originally Posted by Killer
In america,Originally Posted by admin
African americans = Black
But this isn't true in some cases.
because there are more than just africans here, and we did enslave more than just africans...Originally Posted by admin
and as i said... and as pbm2 agreed, i would bet most of the blacks wouldn't know if they were african or not... just cause u have dark skin doesn't mean ur from africa...
technically, egyptians are african americans too if u look at it that way.. right?

Theres just some things we will never understand or explain....Just gotta live your life and treat everyone how you expect to be treated. Have strong morals, ethics, and outlook and thats the only thing that can change how were living.
i think that is a nice way of saying we rather turn our head then to face reality so we will let life continue in this PC world.Originally Posted by PhAtBoYMr2
being PC is for people who can't face reality... you were born in GA guess what your not African American, your BLACK; just as i am WHITE.
then go to africa so you don't have to deal with us! i want to move back to ireland so i don't have to deal with you!lol
YEAH I LIKE TO PARTY!

Those that truly believe that the other 11 months are "white" months are not only racist, but ignorant also.
And to be african american, you must hold citizenship in both. It has nothing to do with color, atleast for those that aren't racist. I know a white african american.![]()
And as far as repremands, I want mine for the wrongful enslavement of my peoples in african history. I take cash and PayPal + the 3% of course.
There will always be racism, but if we could stop the special treatment of any race then it wouldn't be on a national level. It would be reduced to only the ignorant, and possibly one day be completely phased out. But one thing is for sure, as long as there are laws or policies for the special treatment of any race for any reason, we will never be able to move on.
And yes, black history month is special treatment since there is not a month to focus on the history of all the other races.
