They are all welcome to stay the fuck out of my country for good.
What, the whole country belongs exclusively to you, or what?
hmm....
Careful, the mods have gone all nazi mode up in hyur.
On-topic: Still think BHM is one of this country's (many) problems.

Makes race stand out as a important issue.
BHM is racist. Just like Black awards.
That's actually true. How much shit would be stirred up if there was a "Who's Who in White [Insert City]", or "American Caucasian College Fund", or "White Entertainment Channel"?
I'm completely in support of emphasizing the role the black community has had in history, but holing it up in a single month lends people the notion that the other 11 they can continue their bigoted separatist slant.

My take on it is a little different. I disapprove of Black History Month because the implication is that it is somehow special or unique or remarkable that black people have accomplished good things. It isn't considered special or unique or remarkale that white people have accomplished good things. I think it continues the myth that it is unusual, remarkable, and noteworthy that a black person managed to be accomplished at something other than sports.
I want a society in which black people are included as all other Americans and aren't singled out as "Wow! and he's BLACK!" when he or she does something noteworthy. I think to continue to emphasize race as important, we perpetuate racism. Morgan Freeman was 100% right about that.

Where you and Morgan Freeman are wrong is that here in the US these accomplishments came in spite of social and legal barriers. If you have a problem with that then just dont celebrate it.

Social problems like tons of single black parents, and legal barriers like Affirmative Action?

I don't have a problem with acknowledging that any individual had to overcome social and legal barriers when that is part of his/her story. Helen Keller's accomplishments would have been remarkable anyway, but are significiantly more remarkable because she was both deaf and blind. But I don't think you're understanding the point I'm making. I will accept responsibility that I am communicating it poorly and let it go at that.

More like legal white AA in the form of slavery and jim crow. The social problems like racism when white heavyweight boxers were afraid to box black guys.
For the same reason it's offensive to celebrate White Pride.Where you and Morgan Freeman are wrong is that here in the US these accomplishments came in spite of social and legal barriers. If you have a problem with that then just dont celebrate it.

You dont have to let it go. Please explain. I have always wondered why Black people celebrating Black people is a problem for anyone else.

That was eons ago, so what's your excuse?

Is race not an imporant issue in this country? I personally wish it wasn't but thats not the world we live in.
