why do people worship blacks in febuary?
101278
people celebrate AFRICAN AMERICANS history in Febuary because of slavery and all the things we had to go through.So we can have something to look back at and see where we came from. So other races can see how much we have achieved over the years.

I've asked that same question many times. We don't get a white history month because that'd be "racist," which is complete bull shit becuase we're the only race that has to kiss everyone elses ass. Everyone else can have pride for their race but if we have white pride we're racist. it's fucked up. We shouldn't have a black history month unless every race got a month.

It's the literal "Pot calling the Kettle black" routine. \nRACISM: pure and simple.\n\nSome don't think so, but black people are racist, they just use the term "oppression" to justify it.

There are black people who don not like the N' word being used by other blacks and there are blacks who choose to use it with each other. However ALL blacks agree that no white person should use it EVER. Their is no word that black people can use that carries the pain, hatred, and brutal history of slavery and the struggle for  blk freedom that the N' word does.  Their are blk senior citizens who are still afraid of white people' because of what that word means.  No one will ever have the right to abuse us again. Don't get it twisted. Until your relatives are held down and raped in-front of you , your church is burned to the ground, your windows are broken out because you moved to a NICE neighborhood, Don't even consider using that word. unless of course your a racist. I prefer to know who the enemy is. I cannot give an excuse for other blacks who use it' but we don't need anyone adding to their ignorance. and I can't even begin to say what I think about that tree remark. Oh wait,  His career is hung and done just like that statement.

in order to satisfy one' ego one feels that he is superior to others and starts looking others as inferior to him.it will not stop there.another reason is we are conditioned to know that white is superior to black and begin hating the black people and love white skinned people. one more reason is if one group of people  is in possession of wealth, and power, it treats others as inferior to them.

Well we can't make people worship who or what they want. If a person chooses to worship witch craft cause the people act like barney then more power to em. \nThe actions of people should not alter a persons beilefs. if it does then either the persons faith was weak or they put to much into the wordly instaed of the spiritual!\nit has been my policy that if they wanna leave they will leave. God will handle em if they fall!

Atheist hate blacks???? Are they the only ones??? LOL...I think not!  Anyway, are you black?  I am black/african american or whatever you want to call me, but I don't serve God or believe in God because I'm afraid of KKK, sweetie.  I serve Him because I love Him and I know that through Him, all things are possible.  KKK, I can deal with, because they let you know who they are..and you know upfront who you're dealing with.  Please don't answer for all black people 'cause you sound ignorant (un-informed).  Thanks!

Singling people out no matter what the race, creed or color is wrong. I'm disappointed to hear that this happened especially on the elementary school level. It perhaps sent out a message, but one we are trying to avoid. As my school prepared for a MLK Day celebration one elequent speaker came to our school and said the following:\n\n(Yes, I'm paraphrasing)\n\n "In our day and age, I feel that sometimes people of my own race are bringing judgements upon themselves unnecessarily. They preach of equality, but when given the rights, want more. Yes, we cannot deny the treatment of Blacks was unacceptable. But must we dwell on the past instead of embracing the future? If we seek equality, why do we draw attention upon ourselves? Why have a "Black History Month?" Is there a "White History Month?" We are asking not to be set "a part." Yes we insist on our own month to celebrate our fine figures from the past? Shouldn't EVERY day of every month be a celebration of what these fine people did? We should live by their words, not force their word."\n\nI think what the world needs is to accept that we are more open-minded than we were 30-40 years ago. Sure, we have pockets of our population that will never be. But the change has been immense. Thank God! This speakers words spoken so elequently made so much sense to all those in that room that day. I think it brought the school together with a "sigh" of relief. All races realized we were working together.....no one is set apart. There is no need to favor a soul in our world today. We all prove who we are by being.....who we are. \n\nThank you for sharing the poem. My hope is that schools such as this, ideals such as this, practices such as this will so very soon be a thing of the distant past.

As a man of mixed race, I feel that the existence of black history month takes away from the achievments of the african american race.  It's almost like saying: "Since you guys did'nt do too much we will celebrate all your acheivements in one month and get it over with."  I think the acheivments of black people should be taught in context with the rest of America's achievments, why treat us special, are we no different than you?  As a native Bahamian, I think racial issues in the US are embarassing, and black folk hold equal share of the blame, I'll catch hell from it, but thats ok.  Back home we are all just people, granted most of us are black, a black man that calls another black man a "nig ga" is bound to get slapped, it is never acceptable, and I never got flack for having a white mother like I do in the U.S.  Its time for us to stop relishing in race, and be part of the human race.

You are about the most racist person I've seen on this forum. My husband is African and we are expecting our first child in November. My child will be Black. I will do everything in my power to protect my child from ignorant bigots, including you. Grow up!

I also have an argument....why is it that the Mormons did not allow African Americans to sit in their funky little churches until the late 60s, saying it was the word of God?  If what you claim is the word of God, why is it that one minute you make Him all powerful and the next you make Him change His word?  Why one minute African Americans are beneath you and the next you say that it is allowed for them to worship along side you.  The word of God dose not and I repeat dose not change with the times.

I'm black. I respect all, white, indians even martians (if they are there), because they are human beings. I wouldn't mind making friends with any of them. To me its fun, coz I'm exposed to lots of different ideas. Like once, my indian friend told me they throw away chipped cups. Ok, we don't keep loads of em, but to us its not an issue. All that and may more. We're all human beings. Try living with an a black person, especialy where I live (Tanzania - East Africa), you'll know how EXTREMELY GREAT, blacks are! They may not speak english fluently, but they will surely give you a great treat!!!! LETS RESPECT EACH OTHER

You get a rise out of stirring up strife in people's hearts? Because God loves us all remember? And if you seriously do not think so, you will be judged terribly. We all got separated into diff. nationallities when in ancient times people tried to make a human tower to reach God in heaven. God actually did this for a reason. Read the bible it will save your soul and fill your heart with love. And stop making you feel superior to others. Spread the love...Isn't that what Martin Luther King said???????????? I am white and proud, but also proud that you are black. I love all people, we all should. This was God's wish. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son"--- to save our souls---Jesus was a Jew........Think about it my friend. And stop the hate. It begins w/ just one. As the love spreads, it reaches 1,000,000,000's. Help save our people...Please don't condemn them.

Why do so many people want to take away black history month. This goes all the way back to the slave master days when they made it the sole job to erase all of our history, our culture, names, language and most of all our identity and nationality. So that we as a people will forget who we are and were we come from, then replace it with new history there history. \n\nIn 1832 a U.S. Senator named Henry Berry said to the Virginia house of Delegates: "We have as far as possible closed every avenue by which the truth may enter the slave's mind. If we could extinguish the capacity to see the truth, our work would be complete. They would then be on the level with the beast of the field". \n\nWillie Lynch said:\nOur experts warned us about the possibility of this phenomenon occurring, for they say that the mind has a strong drive to correct and recorrect itself over a period of time if it can touch some substantial original historical base and they advise us that the best way to deal with this phenomenon is to shave off the brutes mental history and create a multiplicity of phenomena of illusions, so that each illusion will twirl in its own orbit, something similar to floating balls in a vacuum.\n\nZechariah 11: 4 - 5,\n\nTHUS SAID The Lord; FEED THE FLOCK OF THE SLAUGHTER;\n\n(5) WHOSE POSSESSORS KILL THEM, AND HOLD THEMSELVES NOT GUILTY: AND THEY THAT SELL THEM SAY, BLESSED BE The Lord; FOR I AM RICH: AND THEIR OWN SHEPHERDS PITY THEM NOT.\n\nIn a book by Professor Andrew Hacker entitled Two Nations, Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal, on page 4, he says:\n\n"Most whites will protest that they bear neither responsibility nor blame for the conditions Blacks face. Neither they nor their for bearers ever owned slaves nor can they see themselves as having held anyone back or down." Today the younger generations of Whites resent being held morally or financially responsible for the racial sins of their ancestors, even though as whites, they still enjoy the inherited advantages and privileges of slavery."
