Agreed. They kill natives and take their land as well.

That statement is pretty ignorant itself. You could say every month seems like it is. But to say it is is ignorant.It's already been said, but it's because every month is White history month.

C'mon son.
It's not fair! No one recognizes the accomplishments of white people! I mean, besides all the times that they do...
HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I'm gonna need to give you a high five for that one.
They dont have to go out of their way because white history is everywhere. You have to go out of your way for any other kind of history.That statement is pretty ignorant itself. You could say every month seems like it is. But to say it is is ignorant.
Black History Month is an explicit appreciation and awareness for black history, which is well and good, it has its legit reasons for existing.
But not everyone (except racists, etc) is explicitly celebrating white people the rest of the year. For various natural reasons, 'white people stuff' gets talked about more. But saying every month is 'White History Month' implies society as a whole is going out of their way to talk about white history and ignore others'.
Oh dear.
was that on purpose?
Mhm, Can we have an Asian history month ?
I love the Morgan Freeman video.
If white people were given a "white history month" in India or China, would it not be given a second thought because they're a minority? Are these months just awarded for being minority?

I don't know if I buy that. The history books I read since grade school for American history talked about relevant people to the history of this country regardless of where they were from or what color their skin was. It talked about white people like the Founding Fathers and the pilgrims, but black people like George Washington Carver, Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, too.
It doesn't seem like the month exists because of a surplus of "white" history.
what i don't get is why is there a Hispanic 'Heritage' month? are they too cool for History?

Shit, Rosa Parks AND George Washington Carver? Fuck are they complaining about then?I don't know if I buy that.

When is mixed ethnicity history month?!
No one gives a shit about us.![]()
you get two months
Why do we need a "history month" for any race?
I'm black, but can not stand black history month. If you want equalization why single out any particular race? Why not just celebrate the human race and all of our accomplishments collectively? We are one species evolving together on this miraculous planet we call home.

What month is gay history month?
Smarch
I thought it would be MaaaaaySmarch
How is my personal experience bullshit?
You made the claim, "blunt truth is African American history wasn't beating taught or mentioned AT ALL. Period."
My educational experience (and I would assume many others) proves that is bullshit. There is ignorance in some places, but not everywhere.

I don't think she is from the Caucasus region.
Rereading the thread... This is the most offensive post so far.They're called Adam Sandler movies =p
My main problem with it is only talking or learning about it in just one month. I remember all my schools put all these decorations and pictures of MLK, Frederick Douglas and so on and just have maybe one event or a few trivial facts given. Then after February, it all gets taken down, like when schools take down Christmas decorations once the holidays done with and forgotten.
Black history should be explored into and talk about anytime, all the time. Not half-heartily brought up for a month.
