I guess I found all the padded rooms.

This article claims "But, logic suggests, you cannot have black history without white history" and that is sadly true. Unfortunately, neither American history taught in high schools nor black history taught in many schools gives the big picture. There were plenty of whites opposed to black oppression, and many who helped try to eradicate it - to this day.

But I think the pendulum of racism has swung too far to the right these days. Just read the posts in this section to see people equate black with "free government money." The only people I know ripping off the government these days are my con artist lily white cousins who all collect SSI for their mis-behaved children and disability for their aching 25 year old backs.

There is no amount of undeserved entitlements that could ever equal the mammouth mountains of billions of dollars that has been squandered by our current president and his oily friends.

We need to eradicte black History month...all it does is give blacks an attitude all month long.

Blacks are are moe bigoted than white. Blacks hate whites. I just had a bad experience with a black woman who only wanted to wait on other blacks, am I turning her in? You bet, it is racist behavior and shouldn't be allowed.

Affirmative action needs to be done away with. Why should someone get extra points for not studying as hard as anyone else.

After the Civil War the blacks should have been shipped back to Africa-OOPS I forgot the Africans didn't want them either and still don't even today!!!

These days, the term racism is often used against someone when they have a different opinion. It's often the ace in a black person's pocket thanks to articles like this that help create a false sense of entitlement.

nice to see some discussion without the ***...people with reason that look for solutions rather than a shouting match. So, does anybody have a count on the number of whites killed in the Civil War trying to free the blacks and end slavery ? Or are they to be forgotten and only the victims remembered..kind of goes back to the top of the story doesn't it.

You know its all about hummanity. Its about how you treat those around you. Slavery does not extist (legely) in America but still whites take the blame for the things there ancestors did. I am both white and of German ancestory and have taken bull from both blacks and thos "Nazi haters". My white ancestors did NOT own slaves and my German ancestors HELPED the Jews leave the country. I feel that people need to stop holding grudges, let the past be the past and work on the future. You can only learn from the past you can not change it. Oh and as a side note white people were inslaved first and for longer then the blacks (ie.Jews, the early British, and even the Greeks, if you count them as white.).

"I mean..is my 9 year old white son still going to have to take the hit over slavery, is his son?"

I would say yes - after all, nobody alive today - or for that matter many many years was either a slave owner or a slave... and yet people who were never slaves claim that other people who never owned slaves have somehow done them wrong because of slavery.

Sure, I think slave owners engaged in horrible behavior... I think slaves were subjected to terrible treatment... and if either were still around today - I'd be sure to condemn the slave owners & offer my sympathy & assistance to the slaves. And hey - maybe if we ever get the ol' time machine working... we'll get that chance - but until then, you can't substitute the victims & perpetrators of a crime on the basis of race just to satisfy some desire for historical justice.

Yes, racism is wrong - yes, it exists today - yes, it should be combatted - but not by using racism.

I treat people the way I'm treated. I've sat and read line after line of the most vile and hate filled garbage from you "blame the Liberals' jerks but when someone points out the to spew hate at a group of people then make anyone who doesn't agree with your point of view one of that group, that's called Fascism. That is the most basic fact you learn when you study Political Extremist. Now IF you do not want to be a FASCIST then you start giving other American's the SAME respect you want. You either are doing something about the Right Wing Hate Groups who are growing at a rate that is VERY scary or you aren't, but don't come on here and PRETEND that folks who point those facts out are trying to stir up trouble or as you losers have done so many times in the past, call us Communist. WE stopped Jim Crowe. WE stood up for the RIGHTS of Indiviuals. Now you don't have to agree with our solutions but you could at least stop taking the position of those who fought us with Water Cannons and Attack Dogs. THERE WAS AND STILL IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, calling you Sparky is to get your attention.
