White History Month.

[Red Team]

Forget white history month (which is actually white history year but there you go).

What about Asian History Month? Or Mixed Race History Month?

EQUALITY FOR EVERYONE!

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

They have that?

While not quite simpathizing with the main argument of the OP, it is pretty accurate in stating that (almost) EVERY non white ethnicity in the world has a month dedicated to it.

Once again when is the last time you heard white people getting hosed because of their color? Ummm...I call bullshit.

Never. But you never hear of anyone in the public suggesting that a man should be proud of being white. THis excludes the white supremacists, they don't count.

Agreed, identity politics, specifically race, have gone too far at this point, and is begining to distract us from what was once the stated goal of all civil rights leaders: Equality for all, regardless of creed or skin color.
(granted, not all individuals are created equal, but they SHOULD be treated equally by law)

I havent heard of anybody being hosed down because of their color in my lifetime at least. Cant speak for events that happened before my time of coarse, but Im not that young

They have all sorts of stuff like that.

The problem with Black History Month is that public schools, corporations, etc. make a big fuss over it. So instead of being something that is there for those who are interested, but can be ignored by those who don't care, it is shoved down everyone's throats.

White History month...what the fuck? I mean really...the fuck bro? I think we should have one month just to ourselves while you guys get the other months.

I'm against White History Month. I'm also against Black History Month and all the other History Months.

400 years of slavery just give us one month!

No, that would be discrimination against us.

Actually, you weren't enslaved. And I didn't enslave you. It was your ancestors who were enslaved by their own race and ultimately sold to my ancestors (not literally though in this case, my ancestors were dirt poor).

I dont see why I should be responsible for my grandparents misjudgments. This isnt the Sicilian Mafia (for now ignores the fact im half sicilian)

Though racism in America has generally lessened in intensity over time, you must realize that hundreds of years of slavery and discrimination are the direct cause of the current-day poverty of blacks.

White people are poor too. Besides, there are plenty of rich Black folks.

I hate to use this phrase, but this thread needs to check its privilege, hard.

And black history month helps this how? It would be more effective to address poverty among americans in general, and not just zero in on particular ethnic groups. We are all Americans (if you hold a US passport anyway)

Black history month doesn't help people to move beyond that. By compartmentalizing history and treating black history as a separate subject, we are sending the message that it is not important enough to justify including it in regular history.

Well if you want to be descriminatory thats your own problem

[Hungaristan]

If the whites didn't enslave, oppress and discriminate against blacks there'd have been no need for a Black History Month to begin with.

Y'all brought it upon yourselves.

I hate it when people say "white people enslaved the blacks." White can refer to anyone with pale skin. I am "white" but my ancestors were Hungarian and we didn't enslave blacks. Why should I be punished for the transgressions of a few idiots of my color?

Maybe you can think it over for a bit and come back when you've got your thoughts organized to make an effective counterargument? Accusing people of ignorance without explaining what's wrong with their argument isn't going to change anybody's minds.

Once again. Down with race months!

So the white people of today should be punished for what the white people of yesterday did to the minorities of yesterday? The minorities today aren't hosed by whites. Some white people today aren't even related by heritage to what the white people of yesterday did. So why exactly are we being discriminated for something we didn't do?
