What holidays do white people have that black people don't? President's day is a BS excuse, you're an American too. And I hope you're joking with the last part.

I couldn't think of any white holidays and I assume that might be what he was talking about since a white man is the face of christmas

thanks, i needed to laugh.

they are everyones holidays last time i checked. i mean presidents day is to remember the leaders of this country, not what color they are.
i agree with you thereI could give a fuck less about a presidents birthday.
theres not a holiday for every presidents birthday, presidents day is on Washingtons birthday (i believe) my assumption as to that would be because he is the first presidnt of the US. so they deicded to remember all presidents on his bday.All so if their had been a black president I doubt their would be a hoilday for that.
i believe the month was created to bring awareness about black history, right? but as i said in my first post black=white=asian=hispanic=etc.. history.And exactly how the fuck does black history month split balcks and whites more?
i think that cialis made a good point in this thread that the school curriculum needs a major overhaul to bring more minority history into the classroom

This country is still very racist, including the blacks. Blacks get away with the majority of the racial problems this country faces. Black history month is one of those things not to mention BET(Black Entertainment Television). Both of which if any other race had an equavalent they would be considered racist by the masses.
Blacks also fight for the supposedly "politically correct" alternative to 'blacks' : "african-americans". This so-called politically correct term is racist in nature, im white, and the majority of whites are ok with being called white. Personally, when i look in the mirror, on the most simplist terms of colors my skin is white. Blacks on the other hand get uneasy when refered to as blacks. Why? I have no idea, all i know is there are plenty of people that fight for this "politically correct" term. I have a little bit of irish in my bloodline, but am i called an Irish-American, nope; neither do i want to be called that. There is only one type of american in my opinion and thats the good ol fashioned plain "american" NOT: irish-american, african-american, turkish-american, or any other word you could make up. I just dont understand why a race that is supposedly anti-segregation chooses to segregate themselfs with "politically correct" termanology.
We also have blatantly racist people in atlanta, that have influence over the population, two of which is the mayor of atlanta, and jesse jackson. yet they continue to do so with great support. You dont see the KKK on FOX News at night, but you see Jesse Jackson on there saying Katrina was a racist act on the goverments behalf.
All in all, this country needs to get over race, and worry about things that truly matter. And back on topic, yes : Black history month should be done away with asap.

lemme know when it's asian history month...
will do, youll be the first person i call lol

that'd be some serious ish, i'd go out and buy some fireworks
o really, dude know what you are talking about before you speak, My grandparents and my parents were born back in the racist era, 1900 to the 1940s I know the stories that I have heard are not fiction, so to say that blacks are racist, is completely wrong, step in my grandparents shoes, and have your ass beaten for being black, or not doing what some white person told you to do. Be in their shoes and talk that dumb shit. My parents were born in the early 40s ad they went through some of the stuff my grandparents went through but not all the way to the same level, but it was close. Tell them that they are racsit for what happened to them, and you might not see another day. Black history is to show what struggles some blacks have been trough an what they have accomplished, So its not a national hoilday. Its something to give people inspiration for accomplishments.
Resize sig area!
since your people created them and all right? lolthat'd be some serious ish, i'd go out and buy some fireworks

Sounds like you have a problem with the word black. If there was no upn or Bet u wouldn't never see Black person on TV except for sports. I call that racist that there are few shows on network tv that appeal to other races other than white. The real sad thing is that the few blacks shows that are on tv play into the Black stereotype.
I do agree that Jesse Jackson cries woof to many times, but I do see (also a lot of black) where he is coming from to a certain degree on the Katrina matter. Katrina just showed the entire country how blacks still don't trust white ppl and the gov't. Katrina was a disaster, that I feel that would still turn out shitty if it where white ppl that were stuck in New Orleans. But I still have that feeling that more heads would have rolled if majority of those people where white that were stuck in New Orleans. I have that kind of thought process, b/c as a kid I heard the true stories of what blacks and also what family members had to endure in this country. I am not talking about the 50’s; I am talking about as early as the med 90’s
As a country we still have a long way to go

your soo right all of us white people are the devil and it is some secret plan to keep black people in america down.

Ok take what I said to the extreme point. I can't talk for all blacks, but I know I am not the only one to hear this when I was growing up. All u pale bastards are the devil, but I still love yall

First, to answer the question. I think the month should be abolished. Just as I think Hallmark created a ton of bogus reasons for us to celebrate all the worthless holidays they have tried to invent. History cannot be changed although there are many people of many races and religions that are probably embarassed for actions of all sorts from previous generations. Yes, I have white skin but how many folks realize that history in Rome suggests that most of the people (which happened to have white skin) were homosexuals. All of us might have heritage that puts our family tree square in the middle of dick suckers of the world during that time. Who knows. Rome fell. Did it fall because of skin color? Did it fall because of all the dick suckers? Who cares. It takes all kinds of people to co-exist in today's world. Yes, I'm a little older than a lot of folks on IA but I respect everyone as to their right to be a human being. It's very easy to generalize about things when a common identifying characteristic exist. The whole black/white or male/female arguments are a big waste of time. Everyday I depend on good people of many different backgrounds as most everyone else does too. The sooner we all decide to quit rehashing history and begin to plan the future, the better we all will be. Personally, I always felt that history in school was a big waste of time. Would it not have been better to spend the time on something that would prepare us to make a living rather than sleeping through a history course. Think about this, if history wasn't offerred as a course in school, what would history teachers do to earn a living? Answer: They would starve since they offer nothing of importance to any of us. Just my two cents. However, if we have to hate on something, couldn't we all agree that Hondas suck? Thank you.
Wouldn't it make more sense to judge people based on their character as opposed to their sex, race, or religion?
i disagree with you buddy.....
hondas dont suck.
I LOVE MY HONDA
It's all good dude. At least tell me you have a S2000.
glad u got that
I love the military picture shagwagon. If everyone had to serve their country then we would all be put through challenges that would emphasize the importance of depending on one another regardless of background.
trust me man. This country is racist. White people included. If i came across as blacks being racist, and them alone I appoligize.
Where is native-american history month? can you answer that, cause the whites basically slaughtered them, yet they dont get a month.
I just think we focus a little too much on our history, to the point that it hurts us. In no way, shape, or form should we forget about what has happened in the past. But in no way do we need a month about a race, its just not fair to other races, PERIOD. Now where do you draw the line in determining which races get a month? That would be a racist decision wouldnt it?
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
I expected this response. But your missing the point, the racist action is in the NAME. It suggests that only Blacks can watch. You arguing that other channels consist mostly of whites, is true, but an invalided argument, and has nothing to do with my argument. Feel free to start a network with the majority of the on air talent being black, that’s fine. But the second you call it BLACK Entertainment, that’s racist. This would pertain to any race.
Maybe your right. But that accusation needs proof, people of this country cant call a disaster like that to be a racial matter with out significant proof. Personally i dont think it was a racial matter in regards to the delayed response.I do agree that Jesse Jackson cries woof to many times, but I do see (also a lot of black) where he is coming from to a certain degree on the Katrina matter. Katrina just showed the entire country how blacks still don't trust white ppl and the gov't. Katrina was a disaster, that I feel that would still turn out shitty if it where white ppl that were stuck in New Orleans. But I still have that feeling that more heads would have rolled if majority of those people where white that were stuck in New Orleans. I have that kind of thought process, b/c as a kid I heard the true stories of what blacks and also what family members had to endure in this country. I am not talking about the 50’s; I am talking about as early as the med 90’s.
a very long way to go. I would love if we could all drop the racial issues, but its just not going to happen.As a country we still have a long way to go
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
lol, i think u missed the point of that picture, look closely at the guy on the left and what he appears to be holding/doing...
the ignorance just reaks from your post
since when was it a specific presidents holiday. its just PRESIDENTS DAY not gwb day or clinton presidents day, so if there ever was a black president it would still be his holiday.... the issue with BHM is that its a specific holiday for a specific race....
i didnt bother to read any of the pages in the thread except for the 1st post, because its probably just a bunch of arguing. im not racist at all. im white and i have a 1/2 black sister, and my mom has a black husband. i think racism is stupidity. now, on the the black history month issue. i understand why we have it, but why is it such a big deal? why not a white history month, or an asian history month, or a jewish history month? im tired of hearing about african americans talking about reparations. i dont owe u anything. now...if i had my ancestor, and ur ancestor who was kept into slavery by mine, then i would make him apologize...but why do u want money? dont u understand that if we give u (african americans) money that u will just spend it on cars and stuff and that will just go back to white people? i think the south should just do a formal apology. slavery was fucked up. just my 2cents...
HOW DOES IT TURN INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT BLACK HISTORY month to reparations. I honestly could careless about repartions and most black people I know feel the same way.

Right on, Andy Rooney!
Andy Rooney said on “60 Minutes” a few weeks back:
I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black Am erica. Try to have things like the UnitedCaucasianCollege Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens…Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
I have the right “NOT” to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn’t die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can’t understand the word “freeze” or “stop” in English, see the above lines.
I don’t think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can o pen a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.
I don’t hate the rich I don’t pity the poor.
I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn’t stop you from watching them.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that’s better, and put your name on the building.
It doesn’t take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say “NO!”
I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don’t pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don’t want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!
I am sick of “Political Correctness.” I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be “African-Americans”? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don’t go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else
And if you don’t like my point of view, tough…
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don’t. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having “In God We Trust” on our money and having “God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don’t we just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET!!!
if you dont learn from the past, you're doomed to repeat it
exactlyWouldn't it make more sense to judge people based on their character as opposed to their sex, race, or religion?

i thought that it has some points on this topic

I can't believe I just sat here and read all of this, but here's my question...
What is it that bothers white people about BHM? Does it take something away from you? Does it offend you? Do you not feel included? I read the replies, that I don't agree with, about it further dividing the races but I just don't understand why threads like this are needed. Can we [Blacks] not have something to ourselves for just 28 days out of the year? I mean come on, what changes? A few more commercials here and there, maybe a few more signs and billboards? Where's the harm in that?
Someone please explain it to me because I have failed to see the harm.
Btw, I love BET.
first question is, wasnt bhm started to raise awareness about black cultures and equality?
well how equal is it to have your own month? (personally i dont give a flying fuck about a WHM) my whole point is that BHM is segregating Blacks from everyone else. i feel (call my crazy i guess) that history is not restricted to one race, we are all humans first, races second. so why do we need to classify things based on race?
Val for President
i agree
its not racist to not give you your own month. it only seperates black people even further, we should just treat eachother equally and make awareness for slavery and issues of black civil rights in the past, but a month is not necessary for that.
some black people will say that its the least we could do for enslaving them over a hundred years ago. WHICH WAS COMPLETELY UNETHICAL AND BEYOND IMMORAL AND WRONG... but they fail to see that even if you can argue that your present conditions are because of slavery and you want reperations... that was caused by people long dead.
racism still goes on, on both sides of the fence. but we should just get on with things and treat eachother equally, make sure people are aware of the past so they don't make the same mistakes, but don't make a whole seperate month to only divide us into different groups even more so
P.S. - i could care less about a WHM as well, i wouldn't want one either
