Other minorities don't get assembelies...because they can havre them in their own country.

America basically owes it to blacks as they're part of the foundation of the country (even though it wasn't through the best means). Immigrants shouldn't get their own assemblies because well...we allow em in...but Canada and USa aren't exactly India part 2.

immigrants have been involved in a lot of America's development, our culture is based on the mixture of immigrant cultures...sure, immigrants weren't used as slaves to support the US economy like blacks were, but you can't say that the other immigrants haven't contributed

[quote="Sgt>Stackem":33fcf]There is nothing wrong with learning black history, to dedicate a month to it shows the need to still work on race relations. On both sides. I think we have come a long way since its inception.[/quote:33fcf]

Indeed. The days in the south when blacks where lynched for no reason other than their color. annoy:

The point is...thier countries would never give us the time of day, so why fucking bother?

They can move away for all I care...And I think it is wrong to not adapt the language of the country you're living in.

Pyro what about the asian(chinese or whatever) that helped or did the railroads? also some blacks were immigrants......and why dont they have assemblies for white people?

This country is made almost of immigrants, from the first ppl taht came here; irish, germans, russians....or even the puritans...so why say minorities/immigrants should not have assemblies? When most of us are descendants from immigrants...

stackem...did you see what i wrote about the national black anthem? someone said why call it the national "black" anthem? arent they separating themselves just by saying that?

[quote=Tripper] imwithstupid:

Also, you ask why there isn't an assembly for other minorities history? What history? Compared to african-american history, there is not many other minorities that come close in pure content. Black history in the U.S has so much important content, hell, I did two years of it and I'm not even american - I can't believe really that so many of you guys are questioning it.
Do you not understand that the historically mistreated minority had a pretty darn big hand in making your country what it is today?

There is still obviously a race relations problem in the U.S...[/quote:c8e5a]
Agreed 100%

Comparing a few thousand chinese railroad workers to millions of african SLAVES is a bit... oOo: ...to say the least.

Yeah, your country is made up of immigrants. The thing that makes african-americans stand out is the fact that they came over as SLAVES not immigrants. They had no choice.

What the fuck are they teaching you in school? annoy:

We are taught that the holocaust was a huge hoax and that black people should be paid money from our gov't because of their previous suffering

lol reparations now would be a bit misguided and pretty damn hard to track the validity of the hand outs....LOL at the holocaust hoax....What happened to all the yankikes?

happy: <3 u tripper

daddy luvs u too babe biggrin:

yes I did, thats why I said BOTH sides need to work on it. Right now I feel blacks are doing more harm than good as far as relations go. They are trying to divide more than come together. Alot of good has been done in past years, Id hate to see it go for nothihng

Mainstream hiphop culture is restricting black growth.

Any stats on that? eek:

[South African] Smith... Smith... Kill the blacks, kill the blacks. Rhodesian... Kill the blacks within the five principles[/South African]
