Yes, this is an older article. It makes perfect sense that SPECIAL months set aside for any race is racist. JMO. The opinion of Ms Adrianne Curry: "Boycott Black History Month!" September 2007 Adrianne Curry: The original Americas��s Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry is speaking out against Black History Month and cable network BET (Black Entertainment Television) on her MySpace. The 25-year-old reality TV star is married to Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady on The Brady Bunch. Leave your thoughts on her rant in the comments section! Here's Adrianne's post: ��This is gonna be hard guys. I LOVE the comedians on BET. I also LOVE the fact that they play my favorite show of all time, In Living Color. However, I do not believe in separating ANY RACE in America. WE ARE AMERICANS! How dare we have Black History Month! In my eyes, the Native Americans deserve it MUCH more, seeing how we destroyed their ENTIRE SOCIETY. There are hardly any of them left! They also have been proven to have the WORST living conditions on their reservations. I want AN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. One where we learn about EVERY race, ALL OF OUR LEADERS, EVERYONE! I think by having a month dedicated to one race, and not one for any other, is RACIST. Every fund set up to only help people of one race is SICK and RACIST. (Continue reading inside�) Adrianne Curry:��Boycott Black History Month! Yes, I get it. Black people were slaves here once. You know what? That does suck some major balls, however, it is time to move the f* on. Do we hear the Jews crying that they were made slaves for thousands of years? Do we hear them whine that they should OWN the pyramids in Egypt because THEY broke their backs making them? Do we hear them b and moan about Hitler, etc? (my hubby is a Jew)Nope, we don't. I��s time for us to UNITE AS ONE. I do not think that singling out one race, giving one race opportunities to go to college (I know a TON of poor white.asian, indian, american indian, etc etc that could use that too!), giving one race the EXCUSE to blame things on others for being whatever nationality they are, is a good way at making sure we NEVER kill racism.** The rest of her opinion. http://www.justjared.com/2007/09/22/adrianne-curry-racist/

Why must there be another anti-black thread?

Why must there be another anti-black thread? Why would you call it that? It's addressing the separatist agenda. What's your answer? What opinion do you have to end separatism?

Why must there be another anti-black thread? To be honest David I didn't think it was anti black. I certainly wouldn't comment on here if I did.

This site has become more open to discussing topics that separate Americans. For that, I am grateful. If, ya'll have valid ideas on how to REALISTICALLY end the SEPARATISTS AGENDA, please, join in. If ya' just want to criticize, whine and/or blame, change the fckin' channel. We all know there are groups out there that make big bucks on SEPARATING the races. This topic is about solutions. We are, and have been aware of the PROBLEM for decades, now.

The rest of her opinion. http://www.justjared.com/2007/09/22/adrianne-curry-racist/ Curry is not objecting to black history month, she is objecting to the title...She feels the word black is separatist, but approves and even admits black history is lacking in content....From the article: Note:: Opinions are like aholes, everyone…we all have em! Please, respect each other here…listen…even if you dont agree. No name calling. I have a confession…The topic here (black history month/BET) is not what my message was about… I just knew it would get a lot more attention if I used it as an example. My message is to BECOME ONE. AMERICANS, celebrate things as such, not label them this or that…Black History month should NOT go away…but it should have it’s name changed to AMERICAN HISTORY..and be made into a few months…to teach us EVERYTHING about our history…not just focus on one race. Yep, I have a hippie view of the world, and I dont care!! I am not saying to stop celebrating and remebering our history, good or bad. I AGREE that we need to teach MORE on american history concerning what we teach during “black History month”. I am not writing this to take away anything from anyone…we need MORE OF IT, but WITHOUT the race title!!!! I think she could find something better to biotch about....Before judging the merits of Black History Month, it might make more sense to talk about it's beginning...Founded by Carter G. Woodson in 1926, the month of February was selected in deference to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln who were both born in that month...Woodson began high school at the age of 20 and continued his studies at Berea College, the University of Chicago, the Sorbonne, and finally Harvard where, in 1912, he earned his Ph.D...Up to and during the early years of the twentieth century, it was presumed that black people had little history besides the subjugation of slavery...Recognizing the need for awareness, Woodson founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, an organization dedicated to disseminating information about black life, history, and culture to the global community...Promoting awareness IS ALWAYS a good thing...People can take advantage of the opportunity or they can pass.....

Folks, the purpose of Black History Month is to fill in the gaps that exist in the telling of American history. Like it or not, the accomplishments of black Americans were often left out of the books about American history. What Black History Month does is provide balance to the telling of American history. Now, if American History books have been corrected to include the accomplishments of black Americans, then I can see why people would think that Black History Month has outlived its purpose.

It sort of like saying I cut my hand but instead of letting it heal I re-cut it so I wont forget. That makes about as much sense as being sexually permissive to preserve virginity. But then again, the Odumboites reelected the idiot that didn't do anything good to see if maybe things would change. One heck of a philosophy to base history on. So what about George Washington Carver and Martin Luther King, should they be taken out of the United States history books because they belong in a racist, divided history book? Sort of the same thing as the quoted post.

It's a tool extremists separatists use to keep us hating on da white man. There are poor folks of all races. Why the ADDICTION to race specific causes?
