I mean seriously why would anyone want to have a special month just for thier race not to mention all the other crap like black scholarships etc...sounds a little racist to me! People want true equality but stuff like this seperates us more.

I take no company with separatists of any race. I go to college and refuse to seek any help from minority based affiliations. I think it is unfair and disrespectful, for reasons I really don't care to explain.... I hate racially biased programs. Its like telling me that I need help because I'm not good enough to make it in a "white man's world"

It got here approximately for valid sufficient reasons. As somebody who has a tendency to choose others via their deeds and their character, i think of a few black historic figures of notice did no longer get their due. Bass Reeves, Jim Beckwith, John Noland and quite some others are very interesting black men from American history. of course there became comparable selective historic revision occurring and that made black history month inevitable. With that reported, what black history month has grew to become into is in simple terms what Booker T. Washington maligned.."the perpetuation of the grievances of black human beings." So that's a mixed bag.

I agree that is not fair and causes separation to have a month just for black people. There is no dedicated month for Asian and South Asian people even though they were taken as slave labour workers as well. Black people were not the only ones who suffered. You never see anything in the media about how Asian people suffered but you always hear about how black people suffered- how is that equality?

The reason there is a black history month and other black-oriented organizations is to help the black community as a whole succeed. It is countering the racism that blacks have endured for hundreds of years. I know it's difficult for many to understand, but Black History month wasn't invented to make white people feel bad. Get over yourself.

Because black people need to constantly reinforce the "helpless minority" role they play on a daily basis, to use is as a scapegoat when things don't go thier way.

Hispanic history is in Sept 15.
Black history is Feburary
Asian history is in May
Women's history is in March
Native American history is in November
Gay history is in Feburary in the UK.
Saint Patrick Day is for the Irish!
Italian History Month is October
Jewish History is october
Irish History Month is March
So, what's your Argument NOW that I provided you the REAL FACTS?
P.S. black history just tells a perspective from blacks which it SOMETHING history books don't want to hear. Note, how the majority ALWAYS TRIES TO STOMP THE MINORITIE'S CULTURE DOWN!
