You were just asking why we have a black history month but not a Chinese history month. The history of blacks in America explains why a black history month is merited. That doesn't prevent a Chinese history month, but your point wasn't that we should have a Chinese history month anyway, was it?

Oh..So you mean someone as Wonderful as America was created Entire by Anglo Saxon Protestant men and not by the "Vibrant" hordes of "diversity"?

But that would mean they are not as important as we are led to believe and we could do great things without..

But that would mean that "Diversity" undermines greatness, not causes it...

No, America was the result of generations of progress moving away from the despicable beliefs many of those WASPs held, where anyone who wasn’t a WASP was considered subhuman.

Even the founding fathers, centuries ago, rejected the crap that you spew.

What truly undermines greatness is the racist, flat out moronic bull**** you spew, and which so many of the seething hordes believe in. That, more than anything else, is what wrecks countries.

You're continuing to neglect to address the strength of my argument, so i will re-state it in terms that i hope you will address.

You seem to question why we have a black history month but not a Chinese history month. I have no issue with either. Blacks helped make this country great and they didn't receive the respect they deserved. I have no problem with a black history month because it doesn't take anything from anyone else. We could all the same have a Chinese history month to spread awareness about the Chinese workers who helped complete the continental railroad, or even the Chinese immigrants who come here today to help pioneer cutting edge technology in Silicon Valley. There's nothing wrong with sharing stories of black or Chinese people who help make this country great. If you can think of anybody who you believe to be under-appreciated, please do spread awareness for them. Why not? You can do it this month, if you like, no problem. Nobody will stop you.

So, please, explain to me how there's any credible argument against having a "black history month".

Let me guess... you're from the South?

That's my guess because even many of the mulattoes and Black-Americans online I have gotten into with over this "whiteness" theme have been from the South. And of course... you all are so head strong you refuse to believe white persons up North did not lose their original native ethnic identities in full (though that has changed which each passing younger generation) and just become one large blob of "white". And I'm hear to tell you it is not true.

How many Polish men does it take to change a light bulb by the way?

I'm half white and half black. Let me give some perspective on this. My surname I got from my black father is either Welsh or Scots-Irish. Now imagine that? Wonder how the f___ that happened. Without revealing my surname let me just say I double checked it (was first told by my brother who had to find out for a college class) by googling the f__ surname up. You're white, you're supposed to be pretty smart, if you are like clueless if your familial roots are German or Jewish or Italian or English then why not just google your surname up. It will give you one route to follow at least.

So, my white side is not Scots-Irish but German. Now let me say that again: my white side is German. Guess what my black side is? [Drum roll] Black. Wait? What? Yeah: black. Now how the f__ can it be "black"? Well... my friend, that's a fine question, maybe you need study black history [in America] this Black History Month.

The black Africans that come over here to the USA to live and raise families are just like my German-American family. They are not just white. They have a f__ ethnicity from wherever the hell they came from in Africa.

Now, Black-Americans (what many prefer to call "African-Americans" today) are their own ethnic group. Thanks to Jim Crow racial segregation native blacks developed into a separate ethnic group from the broader white population.



Author J.D. Vance is white and notice in the video he explicitly mentions Scots-Irish in the USA. Picking up on a patter here yet?



History? I can only speak for Milwaukee. It's embedded in the architecture of the city.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_flat

This arrangement enabled a family of limited means to end up with both a home and a modestly priced rental apartment unit. Most of the Polish flats that survive to this day are found in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] Since Polish American immigrants prized land ownership in their own culture, this solution which was prominent in the areas they settled in came to be associated with them.[2]

Polish flats were "specifically designed both to accommodate and to accelerate the economic improvement of the family... Polish flats were human values reflected in architecture and testified to the hard work, practicality, and optimism of their inhabitants," wrote former Milwaukee mayor John Norquist in his book, The Wealth of Cities.

I'm against Black History Month, but not for your reasons. I don't like propaganda as "history" nor do I appreciate society promoting intellectual laziness that spoon feeds people all "history."

History is actually one of those subjects you need to study for a lifetime. And you will never ever be close to knowing everything.

No history month for anything, really. We have the internet now. There are endless examples of contributions from every demographic you could ever imagine out there. People can educate themselves on whatever pet group they want to now. Let's just teach history and also teach some proper civics lessons while we're at it.

I am from Southern California if that counts. Never been to "The South" if you mean the old Confederacy. I have been east of the Mississippi River once - in Milwaukee.

So the fact that ZERO Non Whites created America, its Foundation, etc must really burn you to the core, knowing something as amazing as this was created ENTIRELY without "People of Color"...

Its ok. You can rant and rave all you want, but we all know its true and nothing you say can do about it.

Came here for a brat?

th


California is a mecca for neo-nazis. Why isn't California--in American culture--considered part of the Southwest, come to think of it? One of those questions that makes you go "hmm..."

To mark the end of Black History Month, tonight I made macaroni and cheese with corn bread muffins. Went great alongside some leftover red beans and rice. Should have bought some collard greens. Oh well.
