When Is White History Month?

[Spartacus]

I am trying to figure out what your game was, exactly?

Not taking the easy route and picking a someone that has a ton of material readily available and easily regurgitated?

that too

1984 was long before the internet

wasn't really a game
he knew we were in essence poking fun

these presentations went on for weeks
and still they would do the same damn 2

I used to be offended about MLK day. How dare they award a holiday to a plagerising, communist sympathiser, adulterating hypocrite. All his faults occuried in modern America - thus he can be held to modern American standards (unlike the faults of Columbus, Washington, Lincoln, who should only be judged in the context of the era's in which they lived). Then I realised that it was our attempt to recognize the accomplishments and contributions (forced or otherwise) of all non whites to America's national success. I still don't celebrate MLK day, but I'm alright with it.

Also without father's and mother's day, I bet half of the parents out there wouldn't get taken out to a nice brunch or get flowers once per year.. maybe once every few years if they were lucky.

Father's day and Black American.... easy material....

I'm sure he will

There is a "black history month" but it means different things to different people. Different people are recognized based on who's doing the presentation.

Hell I've heard Sinbad rep Taena Marie (who ain't even black) in Febuary, so it's really not a color thing , but more a culture thing

i wonder if someday mike vick will be mentioned during black history month??

hmm... where to begin...

there is a reason there is more focus on 'white history' (which is a quasi racist term to begin with), because like it or not, white men (even slave holders) were the backbone and founders of this country, its ideals, and its overal philosophy in government and life in general. it isn't some racist conspiracy, by 'the man', to focus on simply white people - it was white people that accomplished the majority of things that made this country great.

secondly, i don't see how any of you (phaded and lestat) can honestly say black people are still oppressed. oppressed by whom and how, may i ask?

and yes, the term african american is almost as dumb as italian american. why? because 99% of both groups were born and raised here, and most likely, never set foot in the country/continent their great, great, great, great, great-grandparents came from.

i'm a second generation immigrant from scotland, do i go around identifying myself as 'scottish-american'? uh, nope. why? because i was born in the US and identify was more with american culture than that of the scottish... oh yeah, and i don't need some label to somehow try to distinguish me from someone else.

the only people i consider african-american, mexican-american, italian-american, and any other labels of that sort are the people who were born in africa, mexico, and italy and legally migrated to the US.
