To be honest, ANYTHING that is covered, mentioned, highlighted and/or stressed solely based on a person's race or gender is a bit racists and is misguided. I'm surprised so many are caught up in this fallacy. It actually encourages division, not harmony. Unity should be society's goal... ACKNOWLEDGE we have differences but stress things that UNIFY us.
People love to spout the greatness of Martin Luther King... he is endlessly praised but then they turned around and warp his entire message.
" I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, BUT BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER"
Being born black, white, Asian, Latino, male or female is something NO ONE has any control over and it has nothing to do with who we are as individuals. Only our character and who we are as a person is what matters.
Yet society is endlessly bringing up a persons gender or racial group as the marquee detail as to why we should mention them. Pick out a person or group based on their race and then promote it or discuss it with the fact that they are black or female or Latino or whatever.
That's actually racist. It is a paradox that so many are sucked into this of thinking this is normal and that it totally goes against MLK's message.
This is the exact opposite of "judging people on the content of their character" when them being black or white or a woman is the sole reason you are bringing them up.
There really shouldn't be months "celebrating" any race or gender. The fact you think is a normal thing to do is kind of where the disconnect begins.
Mugabe never beat the Rhodesians in the Rhodesian bush war. Sanctions and international pressure won that war for Mugabe. Mugabe turned into a despot ruler who enriched himself and his family, and turned what was the breadbasket of Africa into a barren wasteland.
White people hate black people being in charge.

Not sure, but I think it might have to do with Mugabe's whole, kill all white people policy. The whole white genocide in Zimbabwe (which also destroyed their economy and killed thousands of non whites through starvation) probably pisses white people off, you know, because you advocate for the murdering of an entire people based off of an immutable characteristic and a half hazardly assigned racial guilt. Could be that?
Or it could be the idea of dedicating a month to a group of people because of their skin color instead of what individual people did is racist, as your literally assigning worth based upon skin color, and being in a nation that prizes merit over what skin color you have, that kind of pisses people off as its the antithesis to what they believe in (you know the whole, not the color of their skin but the content of their character).
Also Trolling tends to irritate people so it could also be that.
I'm white, and i dont like people who distinguish.
All people are equal. Black people are nice, and beautiful.
Actually it has nothing to do with our skin, we didn't choose our skin.
but it doesn't matter, all people are beautiful, white or black doesn't matter
Because of the heated way you present your side of the argument. I mean, an anon woman in that other take posted about her family's history of emigrating from Africa and all you respond with is a "Your grandad killed babies" accusation.
You throw racist insults at white people and then wonder why people have an issue with you.
Man, "Black" History Month certainly brings out the GaG trolls.
You guys sure get upset easily.
You sound like one African girl I know she wants to find a white guy send me her nude pictures of her ass just because I don't replay here. Then she start sound like a victume if i don't replay here she call me racist and always complain that white people so bad, but dosn't she is her self a racist. :D
I don't think they take issue with black history month. They are taking issue with Robert Mugabe. He is not a hero. He is a war criminal and a corrupt dictator.
If you disagree, you are blind. Just look at the state of affairs in Zimbabwe.
Calling February Black History Month is offensive sine both my father and I were born in February. They should celebrate that in Africa, not America, which perpetuates division between Americans.
m I personally dislike the thought off it as my school when growing up used it to ensure not the teach any history involving black unless it was the month it's too abusable
My problem with black history month is that none of you lived through anything even remotely resembling slavery. Appropriating the suffering of your ancestors and pretending you know what it's like to be in chains. fuck off
If the blacks have a month that only leaves 11 months for Whitey. Unfair! j/k
When your first bait doesn't work so you have to try again.
A for effort, though.
they dislike their culture being spat on and being told to fuck off if they have any thoughts on another culture.
hey look. It's another troll posting stupid racist shit just to throw racist insults out at everyone who replies. GaG needs to do better at removing these hate-spreading posts.
We don’t give a shit. At least I don’t
Maybe because Mugabe is a fucking deranged lunatic
You're just a retard
me? fuck all
