Reverse racism and why I think black history month is racist

Tweet

Before everyone gets mad at me for posting this, hear me out. I am not a racist. I think that our country has gone so far to repay the debt of slavery, that they have forced "non-minorities" into a situation where they are being punished for the color of their skin. Lets start with the obvious. Black history month. Its an unfair, racist celebration. I fully understand that slavery was wrong, but it was not the only thing that wrong nor was it the worst thing to happen in American history. Its not fair to every other race involved in the world. What about the Native Americans? They had their land stolen, were forced to leave all that they knew, were killed off because of land, and forced to live in small camps. Hmmm, sound familiar? Most people dont even think about them anymore. But they have suffered the most in this country. Where is their month? Another thing that angers me is reparations. Everyone knows that slavery sucked. No question about it. But you also have to look at it from a modern view. If black slaves were not brought over here, where would todays Africa-American public be? Still in Africa, where disease runs rampant, education is useless, food is scarce, medical attention almost obsolete. Yet here, they prosper. On that same note, "minorities" have many rights that "non-minorities" (ie white people)could never have. There is an entire organization just for black people. But if whites were to start an organization for the betterment of their race, it would instantly be shot down as racist and forced to shut down. Scholarships. African- Americans have ready made college chances. There are funs made specifically for black college students. You could never set up a scholarship just for white people. This state of reverse racism has even crept into television. B.E.T. Black entertainment television. Where is the white entertainment television? Now I know what a lot of people are gonna say about this. Yes, there are things that are more often white than not, but its not exclusive to white people. Everyone has a chance to participate in these things. Just something to think about.
