white people.

I read a comment on facebook that really pissed me off.
It was about how we should have a white history month or a white parade or tribute to white entertainment.
stupidity.
stupidity.
stupidity.
stupidity.
I'm going to be frank. This country is a white america.
Yes, there are minorities in this country that get somewhat represented.
but still, look at this country for real.
When our country was first established, liberty and equality for all really meant liberty and equality for the white male. African-Americans weren't represented, they weren't even considered american.
see that comment just pissed me off because that person did not realize that this country basically has white history month every month excluding like what, three?
Look at the history books, people purposefully have to put in black history and other minorities in there because they aren't represented. Years ago, there wasn't even a black person in the history books.
The thing about it is white people are what rule america, it has only been until 2010 that we have had a black president.
Colleges have to look for diversity because most people that go to college are WHITE.
UGHHH!!!
white people were not slaves, white people did not get there civil rights taken away and hosed down by firehoses, white people do not experience extreme police brutality like minorities do, white people do not have to work harder than other minorities.
a black person, hispanic person, or any other minority has to deal with judgment everyday.
They have to work twice as hard to be accepted.
and when a black person or hispanic person actually does do something amazing, they get attention for it, because apparently its not common for a minority to actually be successful.
My skin may not be dark, but i would consider myself more hispanic than white anyday.
in conclusion:
to say that white people need a month is ridiculous, these ignorant people who believe they are being underrepresented need to take a real close look at their country, their history books and the privileges they have that others don't.

Peggy Mcintosh made a huge study about white privilege and made a list of the privileges white people have.

here are a few:
I can talk with my mouth full and not have people put this down due to my color

Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial reliability

If a traffic cop pulls me over or the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure that I haven't been singled out because of my race

I am never asked to speak for all the people in my racial group.



Ignorance is the reason it took more than a century to end slavery.
