Why would someone complain about something that is positve to the United State or harmless!
1.Black History month (since when it becamen racist to acknowledge cultural contribution to U.S. history! Noone is forcing you to learn it..everyone else has a month too)
2.Gay Marriages (just people getting married)
3.Affermative Action (It was to help minoritese including women not just African Americans in a all white male dominant society.)
4.Goverment Funds for college or ***** College Fund.(if you search for fund, grants and scholarship there are grants just for anyone just for being native american, asian, hipsanic, handicap, etc..Not especailly for African Americans)
How could any of this become a negative thing to others!
Please dont respond with another question...Why do Black people commit the most crime and so on..For those with a one track mind!

Not everyone else has a month, I haven't seen a Celtic, Gaelic or a German month yet - nor an American history month.
Actually other than the minor point about there not being equal months, most of what you said is somewhat true. Education and sponsoring it is good, but more needs to be done to ensure all children are receiving a good education. Affirmative Action may have out lived its usefulness by now, I'd hope that most of society/business is behind hiring, promoting, and paying individuals based solely on merit and qualifications (this may be a little optimistic).
Very true on gay marriage, there is no reason for it to have not been legal in the first place.

1. Calling out the races sets them apart instead of bringing us all together as Americans. And there is not an American History month, I was born here, my parents were born here and so were their parents’ chances are that most blacks are the same way. Why call out the differences, why not strive to all be Americans?
2. I could careless what other people do, but I don't want my children taught that the gay lifestyle is an option or choice that they need to consider while they are in state funded schools. Once gay marriage is legal then there is little doubt in my mind that it will immediately be addressed in schools, as part of the life studies programs...
3. Discriminating is discriminating and affirmative action discriminates against white males.
4. Again why separate, it seems that there’s a push to keep the races separate and it's just as much coming from the "minority" communities as it is from any other community. It’s a hard thing to swallow when someone says, “I’m the same. I’m the same. I deserve to be treated the same.” (which I one hundred percent agree with) “But oh by the way I’m different and because I’m different I should be entitled to things that are just for me and not for you.” It’s always seemed a little backwards to me.

I think it is frequently because people who do complain about these things feel that the causes you reference would be validated and they don't want that. We can't support gay marriage, because that validates gay marriage. We can't support affirmative action, because it validates the need for it.
There are some who honestly believe that it enforces a line of demarcation between groups and the mainstream, and I understand their point even if I disagree with it.

I believe that the ones complaining are the ones not taking advantage of the opportunities. you have the unemployed complaing about the dishwasher making $120 a week for 14 hour days... it makes no sense.

Well I agree, but ur number 2 point is not harmless, what that does is it normalizes something that is not normal(its an abormination, it no different from people that wants to have sex with their own parent or children)
