i know this might take offense to some people. but honestly i DONT see the point in all the stuff like "black history month". its stupid. i understand that black people have had a hard time in this world and all that stuff, but seriously its been 3209589 years since slavery and all that bullshit. i think theyre equal, ive dated black guys. but why should we have to have a whole month to recognize their achievements? its not like theyre the only people whove had problems coming into this world. what about native americans, mexicans, asians? they all have their problems too. people are racist against them too. to dedicate something like that to one race is completely retarded, just my opinion. tell me what you think.

It's very irritaiting when people use the term "blacks"

You do realize that not every black person in America is African American.

ummm. It really wasn't all that long ago O.O definitly not that long ago >.> 3209589 yeah...
frawlj Posted at 3:04 pm on June 20, 2008
Black history month is perhaps no longer essential as African culture is easy to find and learn about if you wish to where a time ago it wasn't however it is of course vital to learn about the slave trade as it is any other significant historical events.

wow. slavery isn't even the most of it. it's equality. you ask blacks if they think they're treated equally.

its not even just slavery, i understand that theyre not treated equally. but seriously, no one is if theyre considered a "minority." its not JUST black people who face judgement.

Missipop Posted at 3:03 pm on June 20, 2008

because they have been treated badly and people should learn from the past mistakes

Syber Posted at 3:03 pm on June 20, 2008

white people have every day as their day. one month for blacks is the least we can do.
camillelong 26 Posted at 3:03 pm on June 20, 2008
and have you thought that if we had a white history month it would make us seem more racist?
Cake and Sodomy Posted at 3:03 pm on June 20, 2008
Native Americans?

Babe they're 'native'.
They were here before us.

And 3209589 years, is a little bit dramatic.

Pick up a history book.

chicklover Posted at 3:03 pm on June 20, 2008

The Bastard Posted at 3:03 pm on June 20, 2008
