Is it really supposed to be equality if blacks have their own month, but whites don't. I feel like people tend to ignore that white people should get their part of "equality" too.

But oh well. The video was amusing, I like dis.

Equality doesn't mean same treatment. Rather, its about having the same rights and living standards and the like as each other. Equal rights, pay, opportunity.
Its still legal to be racist, bigoted, sexist, "homophobic" (stupidest term ever, they aren't afraid of it, they just enjoy being an asshat) & everything else. Nobody gets special treatment, beyond scholarships and the like.

Well the Black History Month is seemingly special treatment which goes against the ideology of equality.

And I see that Morgan Freeman quote you made there.

Black history month is full of shit, and so is what you're suggesting. Sorry, just my opinion.

I don't understand how having a month dedicated to the history of an ethnic group that has for the most part done more for human rights and withstood oppression than most ethnic groups have is special treatment. Rather I see it as celebrating accomplishment and history of the ethnic group, and making future generations educated on what they went through so that history does not repeat itself by ignorance.

mfw I read the replies and people are getting into some deep, solemn discussion about equality

Well more often than not, history will repeat itself, regardless of teaching.
It's not so much as knowledge as it is human nature.
Also, saying that they have withstood oppression more than most ethnic groups does not really validate why any of the other ethnic groups would not deserve such a treatment or event. ( IE: Sure, someone who got shot twice has it worse than the person who was shot once, but they were still both shot ).
Slavery was not limited to Africans, believe it or not, it simply comes down to actual fame.
We are most familiar and it's nearer to our time that we can acknowledge the African Slavery and past issues, not to mention that was past Africans.
Many a time it has been seen that African-Americans complain of racism or history of their people, even though they personally suffered nothing of the sort, and should not be coupled, or celebrated, with that history.

It's something we teach in schools, and that should be the limit, not something that should be truly celebrated. I fail to see the Women's History Month, as they have been through heavy oppression as well, or downright Foreign History Month, or Japanese History Month, seeing as they were under heavy speculation and abducted for unethical interrogation during WWII.

The whole concept is just plain silly and makes little to no sense when brought out in comparison to everything else.

Lol, I didn't watch the video, just read the OP and the other replies. Well thank goodness for that.
