Do you think making April a Confederate month is disrespectful
- This maybe OT, but why does it always feel like 11/12 months out of the year is Black History Month?
Are there different flavors of Black History that are celebrated on different months?
This isn't meant as a mean post. I'm openly admitting my ignorance on the issue.
Maybe someone can clarify it for me.
What if I wanted a White History month? Similar to the Confederate Month. Neither of those will happen.04-13-10 09:17 AMLike 0 - No there is only one black history month, maybe its just location that makes it seem this way.

- That's just called history...
Shouldn't make a difference what color your skin is, history is history.04-13-10 09:29 AMLike 0 - Sorry I wasn't politically correct. But Black isn't a race. Its African American.
Nick your right. However, like I said in my other posts, people of certain groups still wanna separate themselves from everyone else and make something all about them.

Shoot some africans don't even like american blacks. I went because I was deployed there by the army so it wasn't even by choice. Plus politicians an so for refer to blacks a black people all the time.

Slavery wasn't the main issue, and remember, may in the North still condoned slavery also, or actively participated. Also remember that Lincoln didn't want to free the slaves, but wanted to do what he could to try holding the Unon together as I recall.

And its quite obvious that the majority of the human populace have pigment, regardless of skin tone.
So white is improper, sir.04-13-10 09:52 AMLike 0 -
