When Is White History Month?

I'm confused.
 
In the US, every month is white history month.
 
its like when kids ask their parents... there is a fathers day.. and a mother days.. but when is the childrens day?

answer is the same, every fucking day is the children's day.

We recognize black history month specifically because otherwise there wouldn't be much attention paid to it.

Also without father's and mother's day, I bet half of the parents out there wouldn't get taken out to a nice brunch or get flowers once per year.. maybe once every few years if they were lucky.
 
when you are brought up in a christian home you take care of your parents when they get older.

i've found that asian culture puts more emphasis on that than christians. I came from a christian family and I've had relatives that lived their last days in nursing homes... sure their kids paid for it... but in my asian friend's families, they move their aging parents in with them until they die! most american raises people think this is too big of an inconveniece for them and their own families.

I'd let either of my parents live with me in their twilight years if they wanted, I'm no Christian though.

no, just a little ignorant of the fact that almost all history classes in the US focus on US (white) history exclusively.

That's ridiculous.

US History is taught and focuses on the facts of, get this... US HISTORY, as far as I can tell.

There's world history as well, and they teach the history of the world. Imagine that.

its in the bible your parents take care of you when you are a kid and you take care of your parents when they can't take care of theirselves anymore..

obviously if you dont have the time nor strength to be able to do it.. ie. job, kids, etc etc.. than nursing home is only option.. my mother took care of her father till he died dude had alzhemiers and some other shit from vietnam war.. didn't even know who the fuck my mom was in his last few years..

anyhow me and my brother have been kind of taking care of my parents for almost 4 years now.

god first than family.

I took plenty of US history, not much of it focuses on African American History. Lots of stuff about George Washington, not so much about George Washington Carver.

Seriously though, African American history started in the US, yet it gets very little coverage in most US classes. The origin of their different social groups, music, the backgrounds that people came from, etc.

That is because it is American history. There are Americans here, not african americans.

African-American is a laughable term.

It's Black history month.

It is a small attempt at appeasement that most people just ignore.

i think that African American history is a big part of American history, without them we would have had little to no economy.

I consider this to be a racist statement.

African American is the term for people of African Decent that are born here, similar to how we have Italian Americans.

we had a whole unit on george washington carver. i probably know morea bout him than george washington.


george washington- first president, wooden teeth, cherry tree, used to be a general, didnt even wanna be president

george washington carver- had a pocket full of goobers, invented peanutbutter, was black, emphasized a vocational education for newly freed blacks, etc
 
lestat everyone knows the black population is oppressed ..

you're trying too hard to be nice to the 'black community'.

they don't give a shit about you or your cause

My ECONOMICS degree with a minor in FINANCE says otherwise.

Then you're an idiot and brainwashed as well.


If that is racist, then why isn't everyone described in terms of their family origin?

Irish-american

Danish-american, et al?

You try too hard to be pc and it makes me laugh.

I am racist?

Fuck yo couch nigga!

Anyone ever heard of an african-european? That is what I thought.

I would expect more of you lilstats, but I know better.

back in college it was common to drop a course and enroll in a night school course for the easy subsitute credit

so about 6 of us in the frat took "black american history"
ordinarily this school is like 96% white
but night school was different,it was cheaper and easier
so about 66% of "black american history" was black

cut to the chase we had an oral presentation assignment
and it was to be on any significant black historical person in US history

well we in the frat did our research and did our presentations on relatively obscure figures
mine was on W.E.B. Dubois

and of course all the blacks either did martin luther or that guy who discovered peanut butter
george washington carver

the comedy being the looks on the blacks faces when each of us white boys pulled a name from the hat they hadn't a clue about

of course the instructor figured out our little game
what could he do

we all got A's
but I'm sure they did too


p.s. this was back in 1984 and a movie hadn't been made about malcolm X
so none of the blacks knew about him back then

otherwise we'd a heard about it

I am trying to figure out what your game was, exactly?

Not taking the easy route and picking a someone that has a ton of material readily available and easily regurgitated?

because in history blacks were slaves and were not allowed to do anything important. until the underground railroad and such there is no mention of anything significant. this country was founded by whites so thats why there is so much history about whites. but in my college history classes we do history year by year and we do talk about significant black history events. even in grammer school i was taught it but then again i was in a school where black was the majority then there was me.

that too

1984 was long before the internet

wasn't really a game
he knew we were in essence poking fun

these presentations went on for weeks
and still they would do the same damn 2
 
I used to be offended about MLK day. How dare they award a holiday to a plagerising, communist sympathiser, adulterating hypocrite. All his faults occuried in modern America - thus he can be held to modern American standards (unlike the faults of Columbus, Washington, Lincoln, who should only be judged in the context of the era's in which they lived). Then I realised that it was our attempt to recognize the accomplishments and contributions (forced or otherwise) of all non whites to America's national success. I still don't celebrate MLK day, but I'm alright with it.

Father's day and Black American.... easy material....
 
I'm sure he will

There is a "black history month" but it means different things to different people. Different people are recognized based on who's doing the presentation.

Hell I've heard Sinbad rep Taena Marie (who ain't even black) in Febuary, so it's really not a color thing , but more a culture thing

hmm... where to begin...

there is a reason there is more focus on 'white history' (which is a quasi racist term to begin with), because like it or not, white men (even slave holders) were the backbone and founders of this country, its ideals, and its overal philosophy in government and life in general. it isn't some racist conspiracy, by 'the man', to focus on simply white people - it was white people that accomplished the majority of things that made this country great.

secondly, i don't see how any of you (phaded and lestat) can honestly say black people are still oppressed. oppressed by whom and how, may i ask?

and yes, the term african american is almost as dumb as italian american. why? because 99% of both groups were born and raised here, and most likely, never set foot in the country/continent their great, great, great, great, great-grandparents came from.

i'm a second generation immigrant from scotland, do i go around identifying myself as 'scottish-american'? uh, nope. why? because i was born in the US and identify was more with american culture than that of the scottish... oh yeah, and i don't need some label to somehow try to distinguish me from someone else.

the only people i consider african-american, mexican-american, italian-american, and any other labels of that sort are the people who were born in africa, mexico, and italy and legally migrated to the US.
