Author Topic: I think black history month is pointless.  (Read 7540 times)

Speaking if the indians, we killed them and stole their land but that's nothing compared to slaving blacks then later on giving them a month for it.

Maybe because we directly affected blacks?

Jews certainly didn't paddle here in 100 A.D and get rejected by the natives. If anything, Egypt should have a jew month, right?
germans also caused pain to the jews
and the us totally forgeted up the middle east
so should they get a month too?

Egypt, Germany, Greece (Under control of the romans if I am correct, but the romans are long gone, so forget that.), Russia(?), etc.

You do bring up a good point though. (bold)
But for other countries, I meant.

this is certainly a topic for school debates, is it not?

Agreed.

I always talk to people from other states about the opinions of hispanic americans. They all think they are thieves and thugs. Then I just laugh and tell them I'm from CA and disprove all there misconceptions.

I find it funny how simple opinions can cause such large discussions (like the feminism thread)
I should do one of these kinds of topics every weekend or something
that'd be nice to see if we can sift out the social study buffs from the nons

Native Americans deserve it the most.

I'm rather surprised this is a DEBATE and not an argument.

And this.

It's not really white people's fault. We were enslaving our own people and a white dude saw it and I can leave the rest to you.

Its still wrong though, somehow it was only wrong when white folks did it

hell, we're used to arguments on the Blockland Forums. I mean, just look at Drama.

I think a good natured debate once in a while is good. It broadens are views of thining by listening to what other people have to say.

Native Americans deserve it the most.
This so much

Natives used to live here and then we just loving banished them.

this is the result of some of the forum's most philosophical minds conjoining together for an intelligent discussion
that isn't totally faked like in the gentleman thread

And this.
I'd rather have a day for them than an entire month for the blacks
they owned the land that we stole and raised the blacks upon

Imperialism is cruel.
