[QUOTE="Tetrarch9"][QUOTE="toast_burner"] I am agaisnt being proud about your race. What a pointless thing to have pride for.mrmusicman247

What the hell is up with all the race thread on OT all the sudden? LOL

Anyways I'd have to agree with what others have said that if there is a month devoted to one group, other groups should get a month devoted to them as well. I don't see black people as any different than the rest of the world, I just see them as people, same way I'd see myself or a white person

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"][QUOTE="JordanizPro"] Black history month is stupid?No you just ignorant.We deserve a month dedicated to us for all that we went through.mrmusicman247

Thats doing it wrong, it's one thing to be proud of your race, and its another thing NOT to appreciate other races, there's a certain way of going about it

I should have added a "imo" at the end. :P

Is it just me, or does it seem like black history month is almost all the time?

Isn't black history month just a consequense of putting black people as slaves for hundred of years and then segregating them?

If anyone cares, this man explains black history month beautifully.

Why isn't there a white history month?

I learned that we still have a lot of ignorance with black history month.

Doesn't that sentence kinda promote the idea that Brooker would have supported black history month?

Brooker wasn't alive during the establishment of black history month. I'm pretty sure Brooker would support a month that celebreated his people's culture, and a month that always reminded people that the U.S. supported such backward laws.

[QUOTE="Hemmaroids"] As the great Booker Taliaferro Washington said, "I have always been made sad when I have heard members of any race claiming rights and privileges, or certain badges of distinction, on the ground simply that they were members of this or that race, regardless of their own individual worth or attainments. I have been made to feel sad for such persons because I am conscious of the fact that mere connection with what is known as a race will not permanently carry an individual forward unless he has individual worth, and mere connection with what is regarded as an inferior race will not finally hold an individual back if he possesses intrinsic, individual merit. Every persecuted individual and race should get much consolation out of the great human law, which is universal and eternal, that merit, no matter under what skin found, is, in the long run, recognized and rewarded."Hemmaroids

I haven't learned anything about black people during Black History Month since I was in elementary school. :P

Good argument, however why don't he have a white history month, Hispanic history month, Chinese history month, etc.Hemmaroids

Well, the whole point of black history month isn't a guilt month for white people to hold for the rest time. It's to recongize the greatness of black culture, which is absolutely essential to to U.S. history. They overcame slavery, segragation, and complete hatred, and that itself should recongized no matter what skin color you are. It should be celebrated because that at its core, is the greatness of human beings. Are ability to overcome. It's the same reason the American Revolution was such a big deal.

black people are some of the best comedians i think dave chapelle is awesome, miss that dude

Well of course, I was only explaining reason that black history isn't trying to exluded itself from other races. It's the we can all relate and recongize the struggles in black history. That the struggle is completely universal and their contributions, like you said, is esstential to American history.
