You know the civil rights movement happened very recently right? Blacks might have been free for centuries but they were far from equal to any white person.

The Civil Rights Movement happend almsot 50 years ago, ample time to progress further than they have.

I would postulate the fact that a black candidate is a serious contender for the Presidency as a fair amount of progress, what about you?

And across the country, corporate environments are doing their good deed to honor blacks in their neat little PC way.  My office just got done doing a heckuva job with our "diversity" lunch.  The room was decorated nicely with green, black, and gold table cloths and balloons.  Soul food was catered from an excellent restaurant from Oakland.  Our diversity liaison adorned with traditional African tribal garb, and even some music and games ensued!  We watched a short video on Marshal Thurgood and since we're a law firm, Thurgood's story was well received.  The food was excellent..never had soul food...and if I ate it regularly, I'd probably die within a month!

Anyway, now that Black History month is just about over, how bout we make March "White History Month?"  As hard as I try not to be racially bigoted, it's very hard to understand how having BHM is productive in ANY way whatsoever.  For some strange reason, I'm seeing it as a way to "give mad props to the underprivileged sufferers of the nation."  We should have a celebratory month given to them to remember their history?  How racist is that?  Naturally, in a well mannered PC environment, the argument would be "Because they've overcome sooo much, and now look at 'them.'" 

So because my people havn't suffered at the hands of other races (which I'm sure they have) but have suffered plenty from themselves, we can't celebrate our history?  I'm pretty sure we invented just about everything, put men on the moon, discovered penicillin, invented the car, electricity, airplanes, guns, bombs, message boards, etc, etc...

Is it because I'm NOT a minority that I'm ignored?  Because I know if I had a white history month celebration, I'd quickly have turmoil and outrage beyond belief! lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Discuss the reasoning for having black history month and elaborate on the reason it's racist to do so.

BHM is ok, but a WHM is racist.

United Negro College Fund is ok, However a United White College Fund would be racist even if they co-existed.

If a white man ties a noose, he is racist. If a black man ties a noose, he is simply tieing a noose.

If a black man calls a white man a cracker, or any of the racist names they've tried to create. It is ok, but if a white man even mentions the word nigger he is tormented to the full extent. (For example, theres a chance a mod will remove the word nigger because its somehow racist. Yet they will leave 'cracker')

Whos really racist in America? Whos really getting 'all the benefits'? Whos really got the advantage? With their 'Race Card' souped up daily, how long will it be before blacks get everything because they are black?

AGREED 100%!

go find something worthwhile to complain about.

In other words, you have nothing to say, so you're telling everyone who disagrees with you to shut up.

Will there be guns?  I hope so.  I need a good excuse to put some lead downrange.

C'mon!  Beer, guns, free porn!  (actually, would rather get free beer and pay for the porn.  ...or free guns?)
