Black history month is a reminder of the horrible legacy this nation had (namely, the enslavement of blacks for 310 years).

Just because we're seeing light at the end of tunnel doesn't mean we should forgive and forget.

Should we also forget 9/11?

Only fools and narrow minded weasels forget history and precisely because of their forgetfulness, they repeat it.

Black history month is here to stay for next 310 years.(or until blacks are compensated for the greatest crimes committed in the history of mankind).

okay then if that happens lets do away with St.Patricks day, ocktoberfest, italian american parade. lets just get rid of all those days so people cant express there love for there heritage. yes we are americans but we are a melting pot of clutures and there is nothing wrong with people celebrating it.
Those are just a day. Oktoberfest? I am an American that has ancestors back to the Revolutionary Time, and I have never heard of Americans celebrating Oktoberfest. American Holdiays are mostly Religious. We do not need a MONTH for Black History, it divides Americans. Celebrate MLK Day.

explain how his statement is racist!!! he is telling the truth, nothing racist about that. If he said 'f&ck whitey, all of them are racist crackers" then yes that would be racist. You obviously didnt read his paragraph or know what racist means. I think its a little of both.

Thank you. I'm so tired of explain this to these stupid idiots who come on this site. One hundred years from now we'll be having the same silly arguments. One month of Black History lessons and it's the worse thing they've ever seen. Just goes to show that anything Black in the country is a negative or not as good.

I have a fond dislike of postmodern history...however, with the collapse of the metahistory, I can see where Black History Month would arise, but I don't think it is by any means permanent.

<quoted text>They have to read about History, Doper, it just so happens that it was white people who made American History. When Blacks make American History we teach it in school. We are Amercans first. Quit pitting races against each other. Americans First.
sure we are americans first but america is a melting pot. we all have different cultures that people like to celebrate. again if yoiu want to stop all ethnic celebrations then abolish st.patricks day, oktoberfest, asiam american history day, italian american parade, etc....
Again, when black history month first started all blacks learned about blacks in history books was slavery so we created black history month. how does that affect your life? you dont even make sense. only one pitting races against each other is you. YOu are on an african american website saying abolish black history month. and I am pitting races against each other? man are you obutse or something?

I want to see Black HIstory continue just like we were forced to endure all the White heroes, liars, cheats, Slave masters
our children should know that some of the things that white History has been lieing about is not true also it is those blacks that opened doors for this world today that we are living I want to always read and see, and hear of Black history and other races too that is why we are called the USA. And not just MY Story but HIS Story too!

doesnt matter. if yoiu want to abolish people celebrating there heritage then you have to abolish all the other heritage celebrations. doesnt matter how long it is. sorry but only racist whites have a problem with this. it isnt dividing anyone. if anything it unifies us because we have a better understanding of each others struggles. but people like you want to act as if blacks are making you do something or taking something away from you. YOU are pitting the races against each other. I know many whites who dont have a problem with it. fine then lets just get rid of history class and ethnic celebrations all together. EVERYTHING!!! you make no sense, sorry but your wrong on this one buddy.

Ya blind or something? White history month exists. Just take a moment to reflect on "white history"

How "white" history KKK and the chaos and destruction they did...
How "white" history wiped out the Native American race
How "white" history traveled by sea for many many days to Africa because they were to lazy to do household chores (slavery)...
How a family with the surname of "Bush" came to be in power in America and brought it down to the depths of hell....well..not "Hell" literally,..but close enough......

....must I go on?

So there. Ya got it. White history does exist.

What would you consider proper compensation for the ancestors of slaves?

Why am I racist? Because I'm interested in Black History? Are you kidding me? I don't hate anything but I'm interested in learning about what a few Black people have done in this country. I really hate to be blunt but white people don't understand becuase they're the majority and take stuff for granted, if it were the other way around you'd understand.
You are a racist, just look at your posts, if whites had a month called WHITE HISTORY MONTH and taught white only history you would claim racism, well mr racist teaching black only history for an entire month is racism period, you are a racist when you defend it

Sorry, your argument is weak. You base your argument on learing about black baseball players in the MLB. Not everyone cares about the MLB, it is filled with cheaters. Americans who make history should and will be taught in History classes, it does not matter and it should not matter what race they are. Majority of American Holidays are Religious, even Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Valentines Day, there is nothing racist about American Holiday's. But "BLack History Month" is racist and separates Americans. We are Americans First. If you want to know about a particular culture, take a class or read a book , even better "GOOGLE"!
