Re: Black History Month Is RACIST!

There were lots of things I wish I could have put into the video. :-) I'm sorry that I'm not speaking correctly. I didn't have any notes to read from and it was my first video.

I think a health conversation about various topics is good for understand. This is video is how I feel and you don't have to agree with me. In addition, I don't think the guy is racist. In truth, I am a big fan of his Twilight videos. :-)


I don't own any of the pictures.

that was really something. i am a pretty easily persuaded person so i don't know how much it counts when it's me saying this, but you made awesome points and i agree 100% with what you have to say. i like how you did your research and spoke calmly unlike what was done in the original video.

Thank you.  :-)

Thank you for posting this video, these people don't seem to understand the significance of ALL Minority history months. It would be racist if we didn't acknowledge the acheivements of others. American history is white history you can argue with me if you want but you know its true. Since when has there been something wrong with taking pride in yourself tell me that. Its people like that kid that make me pity white people and there ignorance. I pray for the future of white AMERICA!

[philysj]

welcome. I agree that there's nothing wrong with taking pride in who you are. :-)

What about Arabs owning black slaves? I don't see blacks bitching at Arabs.

Ignorance is abundant in America... people need to get their facts straight before they speak so stupidly.

Here's a point though if we had a white history month, Jesse Jackson would be pressing for the US government to pay money to NAACP for being racist

@greenhulk1982 Either way:i don't think its racist that people find out about black history.

They are part of america and have a history too.

I think in fact:The awareness of other people's cultures and being in tune to what they feel and what they went through helps us symphasize with them,instead of isolating ourselves and only caring about our own culture.

This is especially important since the usa is so multi cultured.

You got:from american indians to arabics.

europeans russians etc.

[greenhulk1982]

@piromaniac9999 I agree with you.

[piromaniac9999]

@greenhulk1982 millions of indians have died.

Places that used to be inhabited were wiped clean and indians who did not fall in line were butchered.

Look at the tallinos:Those are the indians from puert rico.

There are some left,but i read that when they refused to give in to the demands,a whole fleet came in and devastated their population.After that,disease got to them and killed half their population.

Either way,blacks were mistreated but never as bad as the indians.

[greenhulk1982]

@piromaniac9999 Half of the reason why native Americans numbers are low because of disease and forced sterilization limiting how many children they can have and intermarrying whites and other ethnic groups.I read a book called Lakota Woman she describes life on the reservation it was so sad I could not finish the book.Every time I listened to johnny cash,s vanishing race song it brings tears to my eyes how true it is.I dislike slavery had I lived in that time I would have freed the slaves.

[piromaniac9999]

@greenhulk1982 there aren't that many american indians,and those reservations,are horrible.

They were moved into areas that were arid and not good for irrigation at all.

They do get some veangance though.Some of them have casinos on their lands and get veangance on the white guys for stealing their lands by making them bet all their money till they go broke.

Either way,my point is:i don't support slavery and i don't support how they treated the indians.

[greenhulk1982]

@piromaniac9999 there is lot of surviving descendants of native Americans and some tribes died out completely type in your internet search box and you will find map of united states and the location of native American reservations some of they,re descendants do not live on reservations.I am glad change of topic that their is a black history month celebrating their achievements in American history.
