I remember when I met a black irish guy with an afro. It was the single most epic day of my life, he called me a wee lad
Black history should not be relegated to a month. Thats just fucking stupid.
If black people get money for their great-grandparents being slaves when do I get money for some of mine being serfs in the Russian Empire?
I just realized. I don't have a single black friend. I guess thats what happens when you live in Rhode Island.

Is it a coincidence that the Black History month also happens to be the shortest month of the year?

godDAMN i love it when "colorblind" people start posting and it shows that they're really racist shits.
a colorblind kid called me a paki once [editline]5th February 2011[/editline] i'm white
Black History Month is stupid for the sole reason of separating humans with different skin colors. Morgan Freeman agrees as well.

I think separating "black history" and tying it to one month is kinda patronizing, slavery and other horrible things were a big part of your nations history and i cant see why it would not be fully covered in schools (i will have to assume people aren't knowledgeable about it enough since this month is needed). Granted, im Swedish so i dont know how much time is spent teaching kids about slavery and racism in America, but i cant see why it would not a huge deal, you learn from past mistakes thats the point.
Im 3% black BOW DOWN TO ME MOTHER FUCKERS

I like black history month it is a good opportunity to light up and listen to some bitchin steel drums and shit, some trippy ass african music while smokin hella trees
i'm black
black history month, in my opinion, is pretty useless i don't mind black people remembering their history and whatnot, but honestly i don't see why it should be a big deal or anything
[QUOTE=shrinkme;27862189]Okay well I'm black and i think black people get this idea of hating white people, because they were raised to think that way. Think about it though their ancestors were slaves so obviously they would hate white people. In fact a good number of them think that ALL whites are racist. Now why do some white people hate blacks?They hate blacks because they think their savage good for nothings. I say to you racist KKK leaders what other choice do blacks have other than to sell drugs and commit crime? After all it is the ghetto that they come from the education is terrible so how else are they going to get a job. And even if they do get out they grew up their whole life in there so its pretty much all they know how to do. This is coming from someone who's lived in the ghetto first hand and I'm proud to say that I'm articulate and educated. No i don't want to steal your money, rape your wife, or join a gang. I'm a prime example of civilized black person. Why do blacks get a history month and white don't? Its because blacks think they deserve one after being slaves. In my personal opinion I think either every race have a history month or none at all. It only furthers thinking that were different, but really we're all together a species. You have no idea how long I've been wanting to get this off my chest.[/QUOTE] Most white people I know who harbor hatred for black people were either: raised that way by their parents, had a run in with a black person who harbored hatred for them, or they grew up in an area where they were never exposed to anything but other white people. However most white people in metropolitan areas especially are pretty touchy on the racist subject and will bend over backwards to avoid seeming like a racist. Oddly enough even people in the northern states can be pretty racist because of the above reasons. One thing I really hate is how there's an uneasy tension when people of different races meet outside a normal social setting because they're thinking the other could be a racist.
I won't celebrate black history month until white people get their own month. And every other single ethnicity.
