Seriously, the very existence of "Black History Month" is an insult. Its like saying that the black people in this country have only contributed a months worth of history to the world. We can sum up all the hostory of the African Americans in one month (and its the shortest of all the months too). There should be no black history, no white history, no asian history, and no hispanic history, there should just be history. All this seperation only serves to drive a spike in our conciousness telling us on almost a subliminal level that YES we are different people and maybe we shouldnt 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 didnt seem to get what i was saying, i guess they never thought about it.

I kinda feel like Im 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 lable girls "slutty" and ill freak out in the same way.
Peace all (and i do mean ALL).
