When Is White History Month?

[mountain muscle]

I took plenty of US history, not much of it focuses on African American History. Lots of stuff about George Washington, not so much about George Washington Carver.

Seriously though, African American history started in the US, yet it gets very little coverage in most US classes. The origin of their different social groups, music, the backgrounds that people came from, etc.

That is because it is American history. There are Americans here, not african americans.

African-American is a laughable term.

It's Black history month.

It is a small attempt at appeasement that most people just ignore.

i think that African American history is a big part of American history, without them we would have had little to no economy.

I consider this to be a racist statement.

African American is the term for people of African Decent that are born here, similar to how we have Italian Americans.

we had a whole unit on george washington carver. i probably know morea bout him than george washington.


george washington- first president, wooden teeth, cherry tree, used to be a general, didnt even wanna be president

george washington carver- had a pocket full of goobers, invented peanutbutter, was black, emphasized a vocational education for newly freed blacks, etc

My ECONOMICS degree with a minor in FINANCE says otherwise.

That's about the dumbest thing I've ever read on EF!

Then you're an idiot and brainwashed as well.


If that is racist, then why isn't everyone described in terms of their family origin?

Irish-american

Danish-american, et al?

You try too hard to be pc and it makes me laugh.
