My point was this:
A - Certain white people complain about black history month
B - They bring up "why cant there be a white history month?"
C - From their argument of ignorance they demand black history month be shut down.
D - if they really gave a shit about a white history month they would have researched and found that half of the year is devoted for whites.
So...why do they complain about teaching black history? They dont complain about asian-pacific month. they dont complan about German month.
Nope...they only complain about BLACK history month. To me it is dead obvious, nor am I going to give them the benefit of the doubt:
Either they are fucking lazy morons who are too stupid to use Google or they are racist shit heads. Either way it doesnt look good on them.
Not all people who complain about it use that reasoning, because their 'objection' to it has nothing to do with being racist, and I think my original 2 cents along with Rev Rye's and a few other people demonstrated that. Painting all white people who object with that broad a brush is patently unfair.
I happen to be a member of a "downtrodden" race, Rev, who no longer has to worry about that shit in America, and I think this shit is ridiculous. No one has to agree with me, but I'm not doing it out of hatred or racism. I'm doing it because I think it's unnecessary, a bit unfair, it's poorly implemented, and misses the overall point - as a humanist.

I think you've developed a vendetta.
Jews are treated much better BECAUSE of education. Sure, a few generations ago they were treated like shit here in America, but that no longer is the case. There are a shit load of Jews in our government, a much higher representation percentage than the percentage of Jewish civilians in America. Many people in this country would support Israel even if they were stabbing catholic waffers with a nail just to crucify christ all over again (yes, THAT was a joke)
..but honestly, Jews have a much better position in America than blacks or most other Americans now. Of course they worked hard for it. Its getting to the point now that you cant even get elected to President unless you promise to support Israel 100%.
Example: There are currently THREE jews on the Supreme court out of 9 judges. That is one third of the court. Jews make up around 2 percent of the American population.
Blacks on the other hand have been hit extra hard by this economy. The percentages are way off, showing blacks to be that much more susceptable to the economic hardship than any other group.
