White History Month

[Sledfang]

Who's arguing that?
Racist? Undoubtedly
Fair in light of how they were treated in this country? Absolutely

So you admit it's both undoubtedly racist & absolutely fair. This is why SJW's are becoming stigmatized, they don't even try to hide the fact that they are not actually progressive. Which is fine, better to be upfront.

Loooollllll

troll thread deserves troll response, booo hoooo i subjegated and enslaved people for over 200 years and now my feelins are hurt they get a special holiday waaaah waaahhhh

[Ghaleon]

Nah, but i also feel we should do away with other history months, maybe just have a History month? that focuses on history not the persons skin color.

And here we go with this shit.

What is shit about it?
Racism and education have a negative correlation.

[Mormolyce]

We have a White History Month, it's called every month.

[Tragedia]

Because our history books and class curriculum already deals with white people's accomplishments while black people only have small sections here and there. The purpose is to acknowledge African-American's achievements.

Seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”

If it were established, I doubt very much it would be considered a racist move. That nevertheless is not the main issue with it, for, if you pay attention to what the months dedicated to other groups are about, you will, hopefully, be made aware of why there is not one for white people.

What did black people accomplish? Iam just curious.

I mean given the history part its mostly about not being opressed?
Contemporary achievements of black people month would be so much better.

[Sky High]

we don't need a month, we have school curriculums.

[WskyDK]

No not really if you have no native american month.

Just being the largest minority doesnt make your suffering more severe.

Because natives aren't treated correctly has no bearing on treating the black population correctly. We treat one group shitty so we have to treat them all the same manner?
I couldn't give a shit less if they did away with BHM, as it's divisive (as demonstrated here tonight).

I'm honestly a little ambivalent on the subject. I mean, rationally, it [i]is[i/] racist and does differentiate black people from other, well...people. on the other hand though, black people have had one hell of a time in America. Outside of the obvious atrocities of slavery, they have had to live in a system that railroads the average person to failure except for a lucky few that get out.

I'm not saying that they deserve a holiday because history shafted (heh, shaft 8n a black thread) them but I think that black history month can serve as a first rung of getting young black kids out of a shit type institution. They get to see that a lot of black people have done amazing things and you can too if you keep your head up and look to the future.

So black history month is literally racist, but can actually serve to end racism. It's less necessary now than it was 40 years ago, but I still think that it serves a net good even today.

Just having the biggest lobby doesnt marginalize you more its quite the opposite.

It is, in addition to giving heed to accomplishments, about honouring and reminisce the legacies of certain individuals and movements. Concerning your question, I find it odd that you cannot think of anything. Truly odd.

[WskyDK]

Yes, and you can launch your SJW horseshit up your ass.
The month was named as such after a time of huge upheaval in this country.
Again, it's racist, but was necessary in order to celebrate the accomplishments of blacks in history after the country had largely ignored them since it's inception.

I mean historical?

We managed to get treated as human beings is not the accomplishment you should advertise with.
Thats just self loathing.

How bout that. There seems to be 'good' racism.

[NuLogic]

There is no black history month, its hate white people month, where we reflect on all of the bad things white people did.
the entire thing should be banned from being celebrated.

Yes, that'll show them you're not racist!

What, to you, is historical? A plethora of accomplishments are listed here: [https://theburgnews.com/home-front/p...can-americans]

[Shadowmelded]

Sorry but, what about black history month is racist? It doesn't promote one race's superiority nor does it chastise anyone based on race alone.

[GodlyBob]

The world's been racist for so long and we're trying to quit. Black history month is like a racism nicorette patch. Sure, it's got that horrible racism we got addicted to over the course of 4,000 years, but we're trying to ween ourselves off of the stuff. Maybe in another 200 years we won't even need the patches anymore.
