"It doesn't mean that I advocate violence, but at the same time, I am not against using violence in self-defense. I don't call it violence when it's self-defense, I call it intelligence."

was funny because i could just see Denzel Washington saying this as i read it.

agreed, but what's even funnier is how black people like to claim it JUST for themselves. I've had a black person TO MY Face tell me that minorities CAN'T BE racist and then turn around in the next breath and call me a racist.

obviously like with all races there are less intelligent specimens within each group so a generalization here will get me called to the carpet BUT. it shows how ignorant people can be. [/i]

hahaha that sounds like the controversy we had in Dallas over Police Chief Bolton, bunch of african americans were protesting him getting fired, and one of the guys had a sign that had a hispanic racial slur, a reporter asked him if he thought that was a bit racist when they were sitting there claiming racism as the reason for the chief for getting fired. The guy answered on TV "No its not racist" omfg that was hilarious. BTW the city manager that fired the african american police chief was hispanic hence the hispanic racial slur

I think a whole month is a bit much. "Black History Week" would have been more appropriate.

What about Black History afternoon?

I think that at a time, it had it's place (many moons ago)...but today's society has changed so much that it's getting a bit "long in the tooth." It's no longer just a black vs white issue as it was when the concept was first thought up. There's a larger Asian population and Hispanics now outweigh blacks in US population numbers.

If we're going to continue to have a black history month, we need to have an Asian history month and a Hispanic history month too IMHO.

We apparently have those already.

What about German History Month?
or Indian History Month?
or Jewish History Month?
or Armenian History Month?
or even Blind heritage History Month?
lets not forget Paraplegic Bald peoples history month...

What ever happened to EQUALITY?!!?

black people in america ARE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMIES.

the black people that are perenial victims, that are constantly talking about whitey this, whitey that, are the ones keeping themselves from good jobs etc.

there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason an able bodied person in america cannot attain some modicum of financial success.

Heck, if I was Chinese I should blame my failures on the people that made my ancestors build the railroad tracks.

BTW, I agree with your statement 100%. No one is oppressing anyone.

my personal experience (having grown up in Georgia when it was still the deep south) i think my children face significantly less racism than when i did.
