Besides black history month the Smithsonian, the source I’m gonna use, has 4 other history or “heritage” months as they call them, “In honor of our nation’s richly diverse cultural heritage, the Smithsonian celebrates five heritage months each year”. These are, American- indian heritage month, women’s history month, Asian-pacific islander history month, and black history month. heres a link http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/heritage_month/ See women’s history is not the only forgotten month. None of them should be, it is important to know where we came from, but why is there not a “white” history month, or “european-american” history month, and so on? Why is that we are forced, in high school, to listen to the principal read from MLK’s “I have a dream speech, or the bill of rights or

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,I would like to ask how many people really think that it refers to a patriarchal society when they hear mankind, or do most people think it just means all people? Not trying to bash anything here but how many people do you know that think that way everyday? I don’t know many that would take it that way in passing conversation, in a conversation like this, yes, it’s understanable to see it that way and it may go back to that time but most people don’t think about it on that level. And if most people don’t think about it like that then why does it matter?

While there are a few things they President can directly cause to happen, there are far more things that require the approval or consent of Congress and/or the Supreme Court. The President cannot even propose a bill to the legislature he can support a bill a ask for support from the Congressmen and women but he cannot force it to go through the only time a President has control over a bill or law is after both houses pass it and he can sign it or veto it but he can write a few things in and Congress will have to approve those before it is official. I’m not too familiar with what Reagan did while in office but maybe people think he was a great Presid

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,This is because many people celebrate these two holidays even people who are not Christian. They don’t put crosses or any religious symbols in the schools. Many use Easter to have egg hunts or whatever else you might do on Easter and they use Christmas to give each other presents and get together as a family even if they don’t believe in Jesus so even though they are now considered Christian holidays many people celebrate them and just leave out the religious part of it.

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,Uhhhh…… What? Just because people in commercials are whit doesn’t mean they are considered most desirable. Maybe they were the only ones that auditioned, or maybe they were the best, or maybe the director/casting person, was a racist, but that doesn’t mean that white women are most desirable.

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,They already have world religions classes in many high schools. These classes are broad and cover more than one religion, Christianity, Islam, the Jews, and so on. This is a good class if you want to know more about religion and it is an elective and therefore optional to be taken. I say that if the students want to learn more in depth about one or more of the religions I say let them. Have classes about the Bible, the Torah, the Koran, whatever the holy book is. They would be electives and completely optional so just because you’re an atheist it doesn’t mean you should be able to say these kids can’t learn about something that they want to learn about, and just because I’m a Christian it doesn’t mean I can say you’re wrong or that any other religion is.

They just don’t want him free when they believe he should be in jail for two murders. Or maybe they’re just all “hateful sub-humans”, or maybe you are since you sound mad about it.

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,Not to be derogatory but it sounds like you have a giant chip on your shoulder. Yes in some Asian cultures it is more desirous to be white they think it is beautiful, take the Japanese geisha for instance. They are the opposite of white people, who want to be tan to be beautiful. Now if this is why asian women are with white men i dont know. Maybe its because the two find each other attractive, asians find the white skin attractive while whites find the tanned skin attractive.

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,Because when they do background checks they need it for specification. There could be two or three John Smiths in one area, right, one is black one is white and one is mexican. One of them is a convict, if the place of business does not hire ex-cons then if you don’t have specific information to narrow your search to the exact person applying all three of those men will be refused employment becaue one committed a crime and happened to have the same name. So even though race shouldn’t matter it does for the purpose of background checks and such.

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,Wow….. that sounds a lot racist. Every grocery store is different, yes even two publixes or winn-dixies have different items. Maybe the one in your neighborhood is better. Maybe it has a better selection or better service, and it sure as hell isnt cause it’s in a white neighborhood. Some people talk loud, deal with it or shop somewhere else. Please think before you speak next time and try not to create a stereotype of whites.

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,The only reason I would say it is true is because that’s what you see on the news. It could be because it’s a steroetype for black people to be “gangsters” or whatever so they feel they need to fill that steroetype to be cool or accepted by their “own kind”. So maybe I’m crazy but hey that makes sense to me. So the police do not harass black people necessarily that is only a steroetype of some police, yea I’m sure there are some racist cops but not all of them are and you can’t generalize based on a few guys. So they don’t harass black people more it’s just that’s what you see more of because they are a “minority” and every time something happens to a black person, and they complain to Jesse Jackson or someone like that it gets media attention because Jesse makes it so. No I’m not saying t

Name : DaneR, Age : 19, City : Jacksonville, State : FL, Country : United States,Everyone one is discriminated against by everyone else. I don’t like affirmative action. My uncle, who is a white male, has been denied a job at a state department in Alabama because of affirmative action, not to be racist but unqualified black women are given the job to fill the “quota” of “minorites” and most of them do not even last through the probationary period. So everyone is discriminated against one way or another, so I guess in a way blacks and whites, and all other colors are treated equally, in the sense that they are discriminated against equally.
