  So then you're voting for "separate but equal"?

  Not sure how how you came to that conclusion at all. I'm 100% about "together AND equal." Unfortunately, at this point in time we can't take Black History month away.

  Do we even have a black guy on here? And the best black history thing I've ever seen was this massive exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum. It was in all honesty haunting to see those images and devices that were used against slaves.
  
  The one thing that stuck out to me was the collar with metal spokes that stuck out which would get snagged on tree branches and shrubs if they ran away

  Did that display also tell you that the first slaves in America were white coming from Ireland Scotland who were basically punished even worse than black slaves that came over later there is no mention of the white slavery of the early plantation owners but take the time to look it up
  Wouldn't qualify to have white History Month I'm not for any of this history of any ethnic groups we are America we should have America history month

  While indentured servitude was bad nothing matches the length of time that blacks suffered at the hands of slavery, especially in the South

  Gosh a ruddies where does Belly get his information on this subject:
  "From Stormfront.org, a self-described online community of white nationalists, to David Icke’s February 2014 interview with Infowars.com, the narrative of the ‘White slaves’ is continuously promoted. The most influential book to claim that there was ‘white slavery’ in Colonial America was Michael Hoffman’s They Were White and They Were Slaves: The Untold History of the Enslavement of Whites in Early America. Self-published in 1993, Hoffman, a Holocaust denier, unsurprisingly blames the Atlantic slave trade on the Jews. By blurring the lines between the different forms of unfree labour, these white supremacists seek to conceal the incontestable fact that these slavocracies were controlled by — and operated for the benefit of — white Europeans. This narrative, which exists almost exclusively in the United States, is essentially a form of nativism and racism masquerading as conspiracy theory."

  Should Germany have a Jewish History month since nothing was as bad as the Holocaust?

  Well that was all out war on those people and not slavery. The reason I've heard Native Americans aren't as well respected as the blacks is because the blacks fought to be apart of mainstream society and have those equal opportunities while Native Americans wanted to wage war and still separate themselves the public

  gosh a ruddies! Temper, temper. You just got caught again using a racist site. You are right, you can not spell very well. Can you "formula?" But you are right, you can rationalize.

  You said nothing matches what the blacks went through with slavery. I think almost being exterminated is worse.

  Gosh a ruddies that is not true. Study the 5 civilized tribes and the tribes of this area, they worked to become part of mainstream America and for their efforts were sent on their different trail of tears into exile in the west.
