    (personally i dont give a flying fuck about a WHM) my whole point is that BHM is segregating Blacks from everyone else.
    That was my question. I'm really not understanding how this is so.

    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?
    I don't know if I agree with you completely there. For example, some inventions or ideas were first created or developed by a particular race. To be able to say, "Hey we did this first." is kind of a way to be proud of your heritage. You know what I'm sayin?

    That's ridiculous. How does a race invent something. That's like saying the white people invented the light bulb. Did all of the white people in the world gather together and come up with that? Hell no, one man did it and why does the race of that man matter anyway?

    You misinterpreted what I was saying. Of course a race can't invent something as there are people being born into it constantly. But when something great is discovered or created that has an immense impact on human history, is the origin of the creator not attached to it?

    And I don't know why race matters. I don't make the rules.

    Yes, eventually there will only be one race.

    I checked it out from the public library. You should read it, it's quite intriguing.

    but once again thats just separating everyone based on race

    cause then it becomes a pissing contest on things different races have done for society. it would never end.

    do you want equality? i know i sure do. i think people should see past race and see people for who they really are, Humans.
