"WE" "The Culture" "US" The Black Movement

My tinfoil hat might be on a bit tight but I think this race baiting is all just a mass distraction. It's just like the left vs. the right, atheists vs. Christians, terrorism, etc. The people in power are just trying to take your mind off of real issues such as the swindling of the American populace, war profiteering, oil profiteering, and corporatism.

There should be no black history, no white history, no Asian history, and no Hispanic history, there should just be history. All this separation only serves to drive a spike in our consciousness telling us on almost a subliminal level that YES we are different people and maybe we shouldn't mingle.
I think IrieIrie makes a good basic point with the procreation thing, if you can copulate with someone and produce offspring that means you are of the same species, fucking end of story.

I feel like this pisses me off (a middle class white boy) more that it bothers most black people (or any other ethnicity for that matter). I asked some black kids on the bus one February if they felt black history month was an insult, and they didn't seem to get what i was saying, i guess they never thought about it.

I kinda feel like I'm the guy who "doth protest too much", but I'm really not some kind of closet racist I just cant abide a double standard. Someone post about weather or not its fair to label girls "slutty" and ill freak out in the same way.
Peace all (and i do mean ALL). :D

Black History Month? WHAT I live in NYC the melting pot WTF let's have a white History month and you will have all brother AL Sharpton and his followers on the Stairs of what ever white owned business. Come on man the FEDS have him selling Pablo Escobars Shit. I know He is a good guy right. BS he is a fake trouble maker.

Unfortunately white Americans will be the minority in the years to come. Imagine if we had a white only Chanel. Lets say like channel 9 here is NY. There is not one white guy on any of those shows except if they want to make fun of him.....

There was a smart GREAT BLACK MAN that once said "When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" "

That day has come and gone were any man no matter race or creed can go anywere w/o ??????But things are still not good enough for Right Wing Black politicians if you want to consider Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson Politicians.

Yes I'm a white American who grew up in a melting pot and we all walked the same halls played the same games no BS. What living together in PEACE is not good enough? Well then go back to were you came from and if it's here shut your mouths and stop the trouble especially on the 4th of July to have someone knock this great country...

HAPPY 4TH TO ALL CANCOMM USERS BLACK OR WHITE!!!!!!

As long as ppl. continue to use the words BLACK , WHITE , etc...
There will continue to be SEGRAGATION . :(

Crispi :stoned:

you said it, they are doing it to themselves..
what next, blame all races because we sat back and let them fuck themselves over..

I think the point of something like Black History Month or special programs on TV related to black history is to draw attention to American historial contributions of black poeple that might be ignored in mainstream history. I'm not sure what these shows are about exactly, because I haven't watched them. But if anybody here did watch them, were the people and events they talked about something that you already knew about from mainstream history? Or was it something that you had never heard of before? If it was something you had never heard of before, then maybe it had some value.

Some of this promotion of a single cultural perspective IS divisive and not helpful. For example, I don't think blacks need their own National Anthem --- it's one nation and needs only one anthem.

But I can understand the black history thing. It's fine to say we are all one nation and we have one history, but if I was part of a subgroup who felt the contributions of my group were ignored in mainstream history, I would think someone was blowing a bunch of smoke up my ass with the "one culture" thing, and I would want my history known.

The idea of a White History Month is absurd because virtually all of our history is about white people and their history. How would White History Month be any different from the history taught every single day, month after month?
