I read her blog, then your response.

And, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Though... I'd boycott BET for COMPLETELY different reasons.

Black History Month on the other hand needs to be taken far, far more seriously in this country. Otherwise...

...We'd get blogs like hers. And, people who agree with it.

Thanks for your response!

i to NOW have my own issues with BET, not surprisingly with it being white owned now they don't even try to do anything positive with its programming, but thats another blog, as for this whites in america, as seen with the responses to the jena6 protest and every other issue we take up, they have a "bully" mentalilty. when ppl grow up who were tortured by bully's in school and were traumatized, if they get to confront them most of them say "we were kids, its in the past,get over it". truth is they can't accept the hell they unleashed on others so they deny,deny deny. whites pretend to have no clue how we feel yet they to this day sympathize with the jewish struggle under hitler and his atrosities towards them, which lasted only 12 years, this always bothered me cause in this country there's still compassion for that decade of slavery over the centuries of slavery we endured, they feel since we're not being hung from trees we should move on, but how do we move on when we still have racism? they haven't moved on, as much as they say "we're not racists" their acts keep proving otherwise. i take no pleasure hearing a former admitted drug addict take such shots, as for hilton, you'd think someone in his position would have better understanding of oppression in america being a gay man, but the fact remains, and i hate when hispanics try to compare immagration to the civil rights movement, no matter what you do, even terror attacks, no one is more despised in this country then blacks! period. anything positive we do gets no recognition, anything minor we do wrong is blown outta proportion. i like black history month but being it gets overshadowed with valentine's and presidents day's since its not government sanctioned(no surprise) we should move it to another month where the focus can be on that, not some fairytale in diapers or slave owning presidents.
 

I have been IRKED so much lately and can only pray that these feelings are spreading toward more (self included). I do feel better knowing people like YOU are out here doing as much as you do...so incase no one has said it today THANK YOU!
 

Very informative.
Thank you for posting a link to this on Adrianne's blog
 

Her comment: I am NOT boycotting BET or Black History, it was a random, and not well though out, thought. I am a human being, and I make major mistakes all the time, this being one of them. I do think that African Americans are selling themselves short with only one month, and I can’t wait for the day when we recognize ALL of our contributions to this country ALL YEAR LONG.

MINE(MO): She ( and many others) still don't "get it"...we had to fight for just a black history week (established in 1926 )...later expanded to black history month (established in 1976 by The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History)...it took 50 years to get 30 days...we are not selling ourselves short with only one month ..we've been sold short ....she's on the right vein ...it should be all year long it should be equal rights without separation based on color...but until we are acknowledged as EQUAL contributors to history, being documented as more then just ex-slaves, we'll take that month and continue our fight to demand more.
 

That was amazing Nashirk. Amazing. Adrianne definitely needed a history lesson. You should've told her the NAACP was started by a diverse group: W.E.B. Du Bois (Black American), Ida Wells-Barnett (Black American), Henry Moskowitz (Jewish), Mary White Ovington (White), Oswald Garrison Villard (German-born White), and William English Walling (White, and son of a former slave owning family). The NAACP is for all people.
