"Black History Month shouldn't exist" - Black Actress Stacey Dash

[TEANUS 15,131]

This is getting ridiculous. I hope the same thing happens just to see the black actors/ actresses seethe again. The f*cking HOST of the show is black and it just so happens the family who started this was one of the actors expected to be but not nominated this year.

There is only one word for Stacey Dash, and  it starts with a C and rhymes with spoon.

 Everything that comes out of her mouth is so dumb. 

Cum? Okay I don't know.

I actually agree with her. Segregation and awarding people for their skin colour is dumb.

When will people stop caring about race? It's so 1920's BC.

EVERY MONTH should be black history month. 

It should be important every month what happened in the past to prevent it in the future. Some Americans lack cultural knowledge to fully understand what happened in the past, some maybe don't even know. Of course, we should treat everyone with respect, but now, in 'the future' where it is hoped that Americans learned from their past, and that racism isn't a thing, it still is. I am glad that there is social Media, where everyone has a voice. 20 years ago, you could say things with no one hearing them, on social media, you can have a voice and I am so glad that it is being used to spread awareness with Hashtags like #BlackLivesMatter, because it does.

Faux News just loves black folks who hate on other black folks.  It keeps their world moving I guess.

ITS NOT EQUAL IF ITS SOMETIMES.

"White people can't face racism"

I'd this why in Birmingham and Bradford in the UK, 2 places I have lived, there are "black only" and "Asian only" zones? If a white person enters, they are killed. There are no bones about it. My sister witnessed a white girl walk into one of these areas in Bradford, get raped, and her throat slit. Unprovoked, completely for being white.

I've been turned down for work due to being "non ethnic" and rejected from entry to night clubs for being white too.

I like how you can say whites aren't discriminated against, while you're belittling their hardships and discriminating against them. Doi.

You want integration? Great, have it, but the worst way of being integrated is pointing out how awful everyone else is and how great you are for facing "adversity".

Btw black privilege is creating fear that anyone who judges based on merit without making allowances for "being black" will be branded racist.

too lazy didn't read, the Irish slaves weren't enslaved because they were white nor did it have an impact to any current issues Irish people have. 

 

Also African slaves had basic human rights whereas when white people controlled them they were treated as the lowest of the low. When African leaders gave slave to colonialist Britian and other white Devils, they actually expected them to be treated kinda decently. typical white devil logic trying to blame African leaders. White devil logic is always trying to absolve themselves from treating blacks badly by blaming black people!!!

Lol people too lazy to read, then why comment? And what the ****? Are we really going to debate semantics over how slaves were treated. They were still slaves at the end of the day.

So many of you can't see a blatant flaw in your arguments about black history month. We went over how if black history happened in America, then it's automatically American history. But the bigger issue is...RACE AND NATIONALITY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.  Your race has nothing to do with your nationality - literally nothing. That's why terms like "African American" don't make sense. The African bit isn't a reference to the continent, it's a reference to their skin colour - we all know this. There's a huge black population in the UK, but they don't call themselves "African British." Nor do the blacks in any other country use a similar idea. It's just America that does this and it's no wonder there's so many problems regarding race over there when you consider that they use terms like this. Think about this - a black American who has never even been to Africa can call themselves African American with not a word of complaint. But if a white South African, who had lived in Africa for years, emmigrated to America and called themselves (rightfully) African American, they'd be dragged to the pits of hell for trying to appropriate blackness. Even though referring to themselves as nationality/nationality is completely correct. Also, there's various minorities in all countries, but there's no designated history months for them. And they're not up in arms about it. So, why does America? There's something distinctly wrong with the way America handles its race relations and the sad thing is, it doesn't even notice.

Also, there's something that's really getting my dander up about this whole lack of diversity at the Oscars thing. Its been made into an exclusively black issue. As is a lot of race debates - we stop using the word "minorities" or "other races" and just start saying "black," not realising that we're making the struggle exclusive. It's rarely discussed about how few ASIAN nominees and winners there are. Simple Song #3, sung by a South Korean, is one of the very few Asian nominee in the entire Oscars (the only noms they seem to get is in Foreign Language categories and there have hardly been many nominations for them in years before. Are Asians making a big deal out this? No. Because they know where the real problem is - Hollywood rarely gives roles to Asians and when they do, it's in negative roles, hardly the kind you'd want to nominate for the most prestigious acting awards. Therefore, the awards aren't to blame, it's Hollywood. A lot of Asians simply say they feel invisible because the media just doesn't want them to be depicted. But blacks have lots of representation across the board. Black millionaire actors, singers and so on are many and varied across the arts. They have presitigious awards specifically for them. They are the most powerful non-white group. And yet they are the ones complaining and complaining solely for their people at that, not complaining on behalf of other minorities too. Maybe if all non-whites joined together and stopped trying to just fight for one group, there'd be some change.

Everyone needs to read this, which is why I'm quoting it. It needs the repetition.

So many Americans have no idea of the racism against whites that goes on in other countries. This is because they only get taught about the American way of life, which is a far bigger problem than not focusing on black Americans. Because if you only learn about the ways in your own country, you'll be ignorant to foreign ways of life and thus, these countries won't like you. Why else does America have so many enemies and is always on terror alert? Ever wonder how the phrase "Everybody hates America" came about? Because the country, generally speaking, is overwhelmingly ignorant yet always thinks they know best.

My cousin lives in Bradford and can testify to this stuff. Living there has unfortunately made her racist towards Muslims, which always infuriates me because it's the most ironic thing - she has a degree in Islamic studies and so do I! She should know it's wrong, but she can't seem to stop painting all Muslims as bad now because of the atrocities that occur over there. It's sad and I hope when she eventually moves back to Scotland, she can gain some acceptance back.

It blows my mind how people don't define the word "equality" correctly. They seem to translate it as "better than." Equality is treating everyone the same, holding them to the same standards. That means that if you don't get your way, you can't blame it on discrimination, because everyone's being put on the same level. Equality at the Oscars would go like this: "Black actors will be nominated/win if they put out a genuinely good performance amongst the vast competition." It's not about: "We should give more noms to black people because they've been through struggle, even if we don't think they're as good as the rest of the competition" That's not equality, that's unfair corruption. Equality isn't about getting awards/praise/opportunities for being yourself or because of past struggles. It's about getting awards/praise/opportunities for being outstandingly intelligent, talented, brave, etc. regardless of race/gender/religion, etc. As a woman, I'd be so offended if I got an award because there needed to be more gender diversity at the ceremony and I'd be even more offended if I got offered money from the government due to being a woman and therefore being lower paid and all round poorer than a man. But when it comes to race, I don't know, so many non-whites seem to want to get accolades just because they've underrepresented or have a sad backstory. How on earth is making yourself out to be some sort of charity case who needs pity taken on going to improve lives of minorities and end racism? It just makes it worse.

Indeed, it is infuriating to see minorities use their past struggles as some sort of trump card to win an argument unfairly on their side when they realise they've run out of arguments or undermine white struggles or make whites be afraid of rooting for a white person at the fear of being called racist. The case of the oppressed superiority complex is strong.

This thread. 

[Tropico 4,145]

She's an idiot. BHM is needed to remind America of the atrocities they have committed against black people and also educate not only the youth but everyone on the actual history of black people which is being severely white washed and erased. 

 

She sounds so privileged.

No no no  the reason there are stations such as BET, LOGO, etc. are to support and entertain the minority because big station channels do not cater to the minority but rather the straight white person (at least in America). It's like saying "do away with National Day Of Silence." Black History month is NOT demeaning to white people in any way.

 

Stacey Dash is a self hating minority and it's sad that she thinks like this.
