hate is allowed one-way cause yall ****ed up **** for too long, wasnt allowed two ways before, there were no white slaves, white colonies and **** so **** it and deal, coloreds had to before

and whats wrong with black history month (i'm not black) when white history is taught every other damn month, if anything having that month just trivializes all that **** cause thats the only time it matters apparently, that one month

No hate isn't allowed to be a one way street, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You can't hold todays people responsible for what people did 2-300 years ago. Who the **** do you think you are?

Black history month is dumb as ****, why cant they just integrate it into all the other months, wouldn't that make a lot more sense?

I totally agree with you about integrating it into every other month. I think that is the way it is supposed to be. Hell I am latina and we get one month in the year that no one is aware of (Sept) that is dedicated to us but there are so many of "us" that it is impossible to truly show what we all have done to better ourselves or the land we now call home.

And I totally agree with you that we should not hold people accountable today for what was done in the past but when people today are perpetuating the things of yester-year...You do have to call them out on it. I cant change someone's opinion but I'll be damned if someone tries to tell me that my rights are less than American A, B, C, or D....

Thats a different issue entirely, however I agree these old ways of thought need to be abolished to have a permanent change in society.

I think the biggest issue with this whole topic is the fact that our educational system straight up sucks. Now, I cant speak for private k-12 type schools, because I have no experience with those. However, the public schools are a complete waste of time. I went to one of the supposed top public high schools in the state, and I still didn't learn a damn thing to prepare me for real life. Everything was sugar coated bull****, which is sad, and a complete waste of 4 years.

so damn true it ****ing hurts....its kinda hard erasing what you're taught in school especially if you accept it as fact. I think I learned way more about life since i have been out and actually talked to people than i ever did in school, especially when it comes to career choices.
Honestly I agree with the whole Kramer thing to a point. yeah I hate to say it but white folks did **** up majorly in history.. alot. Im black and I admit it we're ****ing up pretty bad trying to call for peace on one hand yet make ourselves look like asses. My family tried to push me tward a HBC but i never saw the point. Why distance myself from others hell i love other cultures. One of my closest friends is white and my girl is puerto rican. I still cant figure out why if i see so many folks getting along like we have but still have a major racist issue. I know with certain cultures other races ( blacks especially) are looked down on still but on the whole it is getting stupid now. its 2008 we got more important **** to worry about than skin color like i dunno gas being at ****in $3.28 a damn gallon.

i didnt mean to say that it is allowed or thats how it should be, but that it is what it is and that is why
