    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.

    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.


    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.

    lol Like clockwork, I don't even get worked up over it anymore. I do think some of the responses show IA has matured some.. thats always nice. The original poster is too stupid and probably wouldn't comprehend my response so I'll leave it at that.

    yet you are racist and my ignorance level is nowhere near yours. Bet is actually owned by a white man the same guy who run the company that runs MTV and VH-1. As stunt said earlier Thomas Jefferson was a womanizer is he a piece of **** as well? civil right was never and will never be in joke, it might be from you since you never spoke to relatives who actually had to suffer through it.

    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.

    edit: thought i would end that with something equally as ignorant as his comment

    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.

    Like i said before stop bein a saggy pu$$y and get over.

    All I am going to say before leaving this thread is that when we reach "equality" the white male will be the most punished person in society.

    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...........

    How long has the "white man" controlled the majority of the world and civilization?

    You lose some of what you believe are your god given rights and now you're a victim..Give me a ****ing break. The white man can't control EVERYTHING FOREVER....


    I'm sure that you as a white man have nothing to worry about.....

    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...

    Stop your damn crying and whining because other people are trying to get ahead as well....

    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.

    How does it hold black people back? It is a time for everyone to remember the ignorances that went on and the fight good people (not just black) went through to get rights

    I could care less.. I'm viet and chinese.. I dont know about you but I grew up in Riverdale and Forest Park being poor in a 1 room apartment when 7 other people living together.. 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.


    yeahhhhhh you likeeeee when she does thattttttt
