Stirring up Trouble: Why Api is anti-MLK Day

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I personally hate Black History Month

Really?  How does it harm you?  How does a fluff "history month" designed to help with the identity of a group enslaved and disenfranchised for 400 years pick your pocket or break your leg?  It costs you nothing.

[Cramulus]

However, I will never have sex with any person who is less than 15/16th caucasian.

how can you tell how many sixteenths caucasian someone is?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

And I will not apologize for crimes committed by slavers over 100 years ago. 

Who asked you to?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

If you're not a racist, Aini, why do you sound so much like one?

I'm pushing for the elimination of an unjustifiable "privilege" of Blacks on the grounds that whatever they did does not need to be singled out during one month but should be integrated within American history.  There should be more specialty history months, especially a European American History Month.  I feel they do not deserve a well publicised  month for their history if no other race can have one either.  If it's perfectly fine for them to have a Black History Month, then it should be perfectly fine to have a White History Month or you're a racist for suggesting that Whites can't have the same special events and privileges that Blacks enjoy.

I especially despise the victim mentality in any race.  It's the reason you can't do blackface or minstrel plays or wear certain kinds of camoflauge makeup.  Weak minded people who can't handle a little greasepaint or being told that they're not all that special need to go back to the kindergarten and take a nap.

On the other hand, go ahead, call me a racist because I hate everyone. I hate the fascist blacks who think they are better than everyone else enough to the point where they can have their own history month just as much as I hate the white supremacists and neonazis.  I also long ago chose not to even study Black history unless forced to because it's not relevant to my interests (which lie more towards studying the history of Nazi Germany, 16th Century England, and European history in general when I'm not studying the history of technology).

I know I'm taking up the unpopular position and being an advocate of the devil, but so be it...  Nazis provide a far better example of how to be intolerant (and thus how not to act) than the alleged oppressors of African Americans.  At least Hitler, Eichmann, Godwin and company were creative, ambitious and efficient in comparision to the KKK.

Holy crap.

Oddly enough, 15/16 gentile was the requirement for admission to the SS.

Just saying.

My hatred of BHM started in middle school. To this day, I hate the idea that they have a month and my ethnicity doesn't.

[Cain]

Wait a minute...how come if you're black and you want black history month, you're a fascist and a seperatist, but if you want White European History month you're not?

Seriously, because if that was meant to be highlighting some sort of inconsistency instead of a serious proposal, the context doesn't really make it clear.

So you're jealous of a little fluff?

You sure that's all there is to it?

Okay, that bit right there...  That screams racism.  I'm not defending you.  I'm arguing against an unfair double-standard.

You sleep with whoever you like, but if there is a racial requirement involved in your relational or sexual math...to paraphrase a certain hick comic, "you might be a racist."

If there is a racial REQUIREMENT, then you ARE, by the dictionary definition, a racist.

And there you have it.  Roger says the harsh things I don't like to.

I will quote a man, who, if the projections of my mothers genealogy are correct is a distant ancestor.

"It is true. My father was a mulatto, my grandmother was a negress, and my great-grandparents were monkeys. In short, sir, my pedigree begins where yours ends." ~Alexandre Dumas

[Cain]

All I know about Dumas is that he wrote kick-ass books.  The Count of Monte Cristo and Three Muskateers are both awesome.

[Faust]

instead of black history month we just have comprehensive not optional history classes. I would love it if more months had themes here.

Yeah, it's supposed to be highlighting the inconsistency and absurdity of BHM, as well as the inconsistency of saying the same things about BHM that you would say about WHM.

Yes.  And according to some of my mothers research, might have contributed to my genetic makeup.
