This lady was doing a presentation at my school about black history month.

 

Most ignorant person I've ever heard present something.

 

I would have called her on it, but the auditorium was filled with 300+ kids, and I'd just get yelled at by the [wagon] jock kids, and the [bleep]y preppy kids. And, there are a couple of black kids who have guns. I don't wanna get shot.

Why did they pick February as Black History Month?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because its the shortest month of the year.

I really don't understand why we have a black history month its just saying that black people are so much better then everyone else so they need to have their own history month. I wonder why there is no Asian history month, since they were discriminated in the U.S. How about White history month? I think there is A LOT of history to be learned there. If someone says " I'm proud to be black" then people don't mind but when I sometimes say ( just to see a reaction) " I'm proud to be white", some people call me racist :lol:

That reminds me of an email my mom thought was ridiculous and racist. The email said It was considered fine to have a black history month, but if we had a white history month, It'd be racist. She's now convinced that her friend is a racist. My mom isn't very intelligent.

The idea behind the "Black History Month" is that we 'celebrate' the other 11 months of the year as White history months because most of taught history revolves around them.

 

 

 

And the fact that we still must feel "pity" upon the blacks for being slaved and separated. :roll:

 

 

 

Yet, we don't see an Asian History month. Specifically Japanese History Month.

 

 

 

But hey, we make that up for recognizing the Hispanics! Hispanic Heritage Month, couldn't give us History since we don't got none!

I never got how the other 11 months are white history month, seriously almost every chapter in my ap us history book has at least a section devoted to racial minorities in the us. I mean if your studying american history and it just so happens most of the main figures in the history of a mostly white country are white it really cant be helped. I mean if were going to let that apply isnt every african country being horribly racist by talking more about black people then whites?

 

 

 

as always sorry if that came off racist.

My history books are filled with french supremacist bull. It basically says the french are amazing, and superior to everyone else. It pisses me off.
Haha, reminds me of " My Big Fat Greek Wedding" but it was the dad thinking that Greeks were superior.

Don't apologize. If somebody think that's racist let their idiotic minds think that. And for reasons you stated, is why people loath Black History Month. It sounded like a good idea the time it was created, like Affirmative Action. But through time we saw the pointlessness in it. The solution to racism isn't throwing out the minority cards, but understanding that we're all humans.

Exactly why I don't like when people refer to Presdient Obama as "the first African-American president". I mean we are all humans why do you have to segregate him by calling him the first black president, it is just making it seem like there is a bigger barrier between races then there really is. To me he is just American and just because he is black it does not make him different or better then any other president before him.

They refer to him as the first black president because it was a huge landmark in American society, and it was great for the media. :geek: :ugeek:

I agree about the media thing, but in these days it I don't see it as a big landmark. I mean its not like its the 1800's or something.

You're in a french system based school, right? Well, odds are it is going to be centered on France. I'm in that situation and we're learning about being a citizen of France, but not Canada. And I live in Ontario. :roll:

Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can

Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude?

Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you?

Camera guy: still laughing

Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy

Camera guy: runs away still laughing

Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down

Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]!

Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!

the whole first black president thing never really bothered me

 

 

 

what will bother me is when the next theoretical black president wins and I have to hear for a month that he is the second black president. (1st hispanic asian and such would still be landmarks)

Black people in general are more likely to be physically able than other "races". Asian people in general are more likely to be skilled in analytical/organised thinking than other races. White people in general are much more likely to be skilled in planning businesses/extracting resources than other races.

 

 

 

I've never been racist and had friends from nearly all continents since childhood, but I don't feel any need to be politically correct. People do have physical differences. I've observed it all the way from kindergarden to the military. Ignoring physical realities and statistical probability (such as east asians having an average of 105 IQ, or 5 points above western white people at 100 IQ) [1] is hypocritical and illogical.

 

 

 

That doesn't give anyone the right to discriminate though. I don't hate anybody for their skin color or attributes even subconsciously. Why would you hate someone for something they can't change?

The Civil Rights Act was only passed in 1964. In the grand scale of things 35 years is a pretty short space of time for a nation to progress so far.

There is scientific evidence to back much of this up now, too! There's a study in particular that deals with the elasticity of the ligaments in black people which increases the effectiveness of certain physical actions, such as running, jumping etc

 

 

 

I hate when stuff like this is written off as stereotyping. The world is a living, breathing example!

Isn't it Racist to say that it's only white people who are racist towards blacks....it can work the other way around except white people don't have a discriminating history
