EastCoastNiner Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 With there no longer being a DADT Act and the DREAM Act being voted down in recent days, it's been hard to ignore the way that certain minority groups are treated, whether it's unfairly because they are "oppressed" or are given special treatment. With that said, why the hell is there black history month? This is honestly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. There's no "Catholic" month for the crusades and months for other oppressed groups Morgan Freeman speaks the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reno Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I agree wholeheartedly 110%, but I know some people will say every month is "white history month" or every channel is "white channel". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think an entire month should be dedicated for any one group of people, unless it's an entire month for honoring the military.

EastCoastNiner Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) If "they" want to be viewed as equal(which most people already view them as), then why are they trying to segregate themselves and have a month dedicated to just their race? It's just an attention grab. There's no need to have an entire month dedicated to one race and have the media talk about it all month long.

I'm not incredibly "bothered" by it, but want to see what the point of it is, which you haven't tried to address, but have rather tried to [expletive] and moan.

The point is this country kept black people as slaves for a very long time, segregated them from everyone else, and it was black people who made the strongest movement for civil rights. They have a rich history in helping to create equal rights for people of all race and ethnicity in this country, and they want their own month. I don't see the problem with it, even though I understand the opinion that other races and ethnicites should have a month devoted to them as well if they form a movement to make that officially happen. If they don't fight to make that happen then it is kind of ridiculous to [expletive] about it because black history month is just a positive acknowledgment of their history...that's IT. If people of other race feel so strongly about this, they should fight to have a month devoted to their race...if they do that, then the government would be forced to abolish black history month as official, or would accept the plea.

The Truth Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 If people of other race feel so strongly about this, they should fight to have a month devoted to their race.then we'd be 'celebrating' ten different groups of people every month of the year. pretty soon, we'd have vegan month and Mexijew month. I actually agree with ECN here. look, I love black people, I love all people, but all these months are ridiculous. we don't need special holidays or times of the year to remind us of a certain group of people. we should just abolish all these ridiculous divisors and celebrate humanity, every day.

It's just an attention grab. There's no need to have an entire month dedicated to one race and have the media talk about it all month long.The idea is to celebrate how far blacks have come as a race. Maybe you need to hit the history books. It's supposed to be to honor key people in the civil rights movement and educate what african-american's had to go through. I don't really care. I don't pay attention to it. It in no way effects my life. So, honestly, who gives a [expletive]? [expletive]aaaa Please!

Read my last line or two. If you have other people fighting to have their race be represented by a month, the government will be forced to grant their request, abolish all "[blank] history" months, or combine them all races into one month (which would essentially be the happy medium). Either way, for the people like ECN who [expletive] about it, they should form an official movement to have it changed, or stop the [expletive]ing. If there was an official movement from all the people who are against the idea of black history month, the government will be forced to make changes in some form or another. But if all they do is [expletive] and moan without making an official stand, then they are just wasting their breath and sanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
