Whats Wrong With Whites?

The Washington Post is reporting that the National Council of La Raza (a hispanic organization) and various African Americans are complaining that John Kerry's campaign is too white. This is, of course, a crime. I mean, when too many whites get together trouble could ensue. Mind you, we don't have a National Association for the Advancement of White People, unless you count the KKK, which has really been behind the NAACP in public opinion, anyway. Nor do we have White Entertainment Television. But, as soon as a group of whites--not necessary racists whites--gets togehter for a purpose not really related to race, it's negative media coverage for all involved. Because, as you know, if there really is a white majority, then it's unlikely that a fairly small group of people with highly specialized skills might be, coincidentally, all white. These things pis me off.

Insightful, but I get the feeling you copied and pasted that from somewhere else.

Either way, it's amusing to read. "Too white." What do they want John Kerry to do, start wearing giant platinum chains and throwing gang signs in the air? I don't expect Al Sharpton to start listening to Jim Croce and watching televised golf. Why does La Raza expect John Kerry to conform to their standards? Is he supposed to work around their schedule instead of the people that are most likely going to actually vote for him?

I'm not a racist in the slightest, but I absolutely cannot stand racial equality groups. The 60's ended in the 60's, Civil Rights have been fought for and won. Continuing to impose your will on the white majority only serves to divide races even further. It just breeds more contempt and more irrational anger. We understand you're black and proud, that's fantastic. Can I have the month of February back now?

Can I have the month of February back now?

No.

Why not just condense it into a single day, then? That way, maybe I'll be able to get an extra day off of work every year.

Either way, Black History Month seems a bit unfair to me. What about Hispanic History Month? Asian History Month? White America has treated them just as badly.

One way or another, there is one specific group that truly deserves a month dedicated to their heritage. Native Americans. Why should the month of February be delegated to black people? We didn't invade africa, steal the continent and demolish African culture. We destroyed every facet of Native American culture that we could get our hands on. They have no "homeland" to return to, and only scraps of their heritage left to revere. White America has made Native Americans into a novelty, a cute stereotype while forcing the remaining numbers of their population into foul, squalid reservation lands. There's not a race of people on this planet that deserves a month dedicated to their heritage more than the Native Americans. Black History Month is unnecessary, because you at least have a motherland to return to.

Thats not a crime fool.

I was joking when I said no. I don't exactly believe in it, but I'm not going to object to it either. One could argue about Africa being practically robbed naked of human, and natural resources, but that's another topic. Black History Month is just there. If it were removed, there would be no objection from me, although other African-Americans might not take it the right way. In my opinion, they're trying to fight a war which should have ended 20-30 years ago.

Yeah I agree with switching it to Native American month. I learn about black history all the time, thats why on black history month we don't learn anything more, ever the black teachers are like this.

What I find funny too is every though we have black history month, why don't we learn about how the whites didn't just go into Africa for slaves for no reason. They were buying them from the black leaders of Africa, yeah some stole. They were betrayed by your own people and put all the blame on us because they haven't learned all of it.

Not exactly, at least according to my research. There might have been some cases where tribial leaders sold slaves, but I highly doubt that there was a substantial amount of slaves shipped because they were sold by their tribes.
