Why is it ok to have Black History month, but if you want White History month people get upset?

because the rest of the months are for white history.

I acually didn't know people cared so much about this whole subject, but what people forget is at one time we were all slaves. In the Romain ages white and blacks were all slaves it didn't matter. Maybe instead of having a black history month we should just have a people month, and learn about people who faught for their freedom and ours, who faught for equal rights and equal treament. I kinda get the point though that we did treat them sooo awful, acually so badly words can't really described and the worst part is, their own tribes traded them or guns and stuff like that.

Most of what is taught in school is white (European) history. There is no need to have a special month for it. Black history month was designed to make people conscious of the contributions made by African American Americans that may have been over looked in the past.

for the 100th time. every other month is white history.

They teach about rome and greece, but skip over the "dark ages" (the period were west Africa was the center of civilization). And we still dont even teach about Mali during black history month. It mysteriously gets left out.

Not just history. In english we read white authors. What makes mark twain better than Richard Wright.

Because we black people have contributed so much to american history. and we only get to celebrate our history once a year most white people celebrate their history or their roots all year round and som white people have the nerve to say that they ain't go no black in dem. If you are one of those kind of people, get a clue. White people have black in them and black people have white in them somewhere.

White History month? That's like the other 11 months of the year, isn't it?

What are you talking about? People don't get upset, they just question why you would need a whole month deticated to something studied all year long, even in Black history month. If you call that getting upset, you need to look up the word.

Who are the "people" getting upset?

I would like to have Greek, Italian, French History month.

there's a lot of fact to that. i do no longer think of that any college club, contest or scholarship could be based completely on race. it relatively is unfair. I additionally do no longer have faith that whites have cornered the industry on racism. I relatively do no longer evaluate myself a racist. i've got faith that relatively everyone seems to be created the two. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, in case your baby is sufficiently previous to study this, possibilities are high they're sufficiently previous to comprehend what this man or woman is saying. they might additionally variety their very own opinion. teach your baby love and tolerance for each man or woman. they'll could decide something on their very own, in keeping with their very own reviews. continuously youthful - have you ever been to a lecture room these days? historic past is historic past, blacks performed an crucial portion of yank historic past as did the community individuals, Asians, Latinos and Whites. No, it became into no longer continually that way, yet issues are changing for the extra appropriate. go searching, the only people nonetheless preaching who did what to whom lower back in the day are the adults. the toddlers are high-quality with one yet another, shall we leave it that way. we are no longer answerable for the sins of our fathers!

I AM WHITE AND I AM NOT UPSET YOU DOPE! BUT IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THE WHITES HAD BLACKS AS SLAVES AND THAT MAKES IT OK TO HAVE A BLACK HISTORY MONTH - AND DO YOU KNOW WHY?????
