    Americans Divided Over Black History Month

    It's February, and the annual debate has begun. The subject of Black History Month becomes the centerpiece of many a water-cooler conversation.

    IMO it's great but I do think some "white" people don't like it cuz they can't have "White History Month" I think .

        i think its become an advertising scheme and really stupid to designate a whole month to a race.

        "The bigger problem, according to many, is the American public's lack of knowledge of history overall. "Stop asking whether there's too much black history and start grappling with the fact that there's too little American history," Scott says."

        the quote makes sense

              I was reading about Morgan Freeman the other day. He doesn't celebrate Black History Month and thinks it only fuels racism. He thinks the best way to eliminate racism is to stop using it as a crutch.

              Interesting perspective.

                That's like me getting my family together to create a Puerto Rican history month... I think it's fucking stupid! Great way to combat segregation by creating your own serperate month from other races you fuck head!

                  He is absolutely right.

                              I would agree. I do think it's great to celebrate diversity, though, I just don't think that Hallmark holidays and such are the way to do it.

                              While we're at it, can we eliminate some stupid banking and federal holidays like Columbus Day and Presidents day?

                                    I think the worse offenders for forgetting black history are blacks themselves, especially the black leadership such as the NAACP.

                                    They "forgot" that the whole point of the civil rights movement was equality, integration, and e pluribus unum.

                                    Now it is all about how much they can take with entitlement programs, and how much they can blame whites for all of their own problems without assuming any responsibility. It's now all about special rights, not equal rights. It's about this heavy guilt trip they can lay on whites.

                                    All critics are automatically called "racists."

                                    It's very depressing.

                                          If google doesn't make a special logo for a holiday, that day should not be counted as one.

                                              It is so fucked up..
                                              Every culture have at some point in the past 400 years gone thru a period of slavery, domination, extreme violence etc. But life goes on..and the "DNA" of the perpetrator cannot be punished for what happened.
                                              USA is a mix of many different ethnic groups and "colors" and i think black history is an important part of US history and should be taught in schools, but no need for a black history month.. less we also have a yellow and a red and white etc history month...
                                              And the blacks of today are so watered down, i mean, they could have like 10% black DNA in them and are considered blacks..wtf ? stop using color as an excuse.

                                                I have loved Morgan Freeman as far back when I was a child watching him on The Electric Comapany, a kids show.

                                                He is right.

                                                  They "forgot" that the whole point of the civil rights movement was equality, integration, and e pluribus unum.

                                                  Now it is all about how much they can take with entitlement programs, and how much they can blame whites for all of their own problems without assuming any responsibility. It's now all about special rights, not equal rights. It's about this heavy guilt trip they can lay on whites.

                                                  All critics are automatically called "racists."

                                                  It's very depressing.
                                                  You are correct. The thing I hate about the NAACP is that if a white people wanted to have a similar group, they would yell racism. I guess it is ok for them to have one, but no one else can or else you are a racist. So not right.

                                                    He's right...I think it's important to understand, learn, and make sure history doesn't repeat itself, but you also have to be mindful of what's going on now.

                                                      I don't agree with it. It's a token celebration, but it just further divides based on race.

                                                        Funny you mention The Electric Company. He docks that as a mistake. Not doing the show itself, but for staying too long. Many actors take on roles and suddenly get stuck with that character for life.

                                                        Anyway, I do agree with him regarding BHM.
