    It was not good for the time. Killing millions of people to save an economy is not “worth it”. So in 2007/08 when the economy fell, should we have just killed some people? To fix the issue? (I know circumstances are different, but come on).

    Hey man, thought you were dead.

    This is a friendly debate, that's gone off topic. No need to get triggered

    I personally think giving a black history month and not anything else (I'm aware there are other months) is racist. Convince me otherwise

    Although I agree with you, to an extent, I think the significance of a black history month is important. However, I do feel like some people take black history month as a month of “Im black, this is my month, praise me” kinda thing. But the mark blacks left on America is important, whites too, the difference tho is that blacks were practically forced to do the hard labor.

    cooey I’m trying to refrain from calling you a jackass because we’re acquaintances, but white people literally stole this land from native americans

    africans WERE ENSLAVED

    you right now is the prime example why most colored people stereotype white people, you wanna feel entitled to everything when your race hasn’t done anything but been assholes

    it’s probably because you’re young (even though a year or so ago I wasn’t saying this type of stuff, so I guess that doesn’t matter lmao) but cooey, you’re very misinformed on what racism is

    White people didn’t steal this land from anyone. Let’s just get the facts straight. No one owned the land. There was no America until the settlers made America. You can’t steal something that isn’t owned.

    owned land /=/ claimed land

    thats like saying because we’re richer than you, we can take the land you own. in the imaginary scenario in which the government didn’t need to pay you and they destroyed your house to build a highway, you would feel the exact same way the native americans felt towards the settlers

    it’s more immoral than anything. black history month is meant to make up for the hardships africans went through. they came here beyond their will.

    before you speak in a debate put yourself in both scenarios, and see how you would like it if either party did something bad to you

    you guys need to pay attention in social studies, shit, or read a bible to learn morality

    And they can leave if they want. Problem is they're citizens and like it here. Nobody's forcing blacks to stay, nobody's forcing them to do labor
    --- Double Post Merged, Apr 4, 2018, Original Post Date: Apr 4, 2018 ---
    You're acting like they're still alive and suffering.

    The holocaust isn't even related, demonising me for anti-Semitic views you want me to have does not belong on this thread
    --- Double Post Merged, Apr 4, 2018 ---
    On a side note white people have suffered at times, why do you believe we shouldn't have a month?

    the holocaust can relate because people were forced beyond their will to work and to die.

    maybe not on the same scale as slavery as a whole, but they most definitely show that the superior race can be complete douches

    so what about gay pride month? is that offense against straights too?
    --- Double Post Merged, Apr 4, 2018 ---
    but I will demonize you for sounding like a racist, wouldn’t be surprised if you were. regardless nobody should feel entitled to anything. if black people or gay people get a month why do you feel like you should? are you jealous
    --- Double Post Merged, Apr 4, 2018 ---
    i can sure as hell apply the “get good fallacy” when I please because I am well informed in this type of stuff and can spot ignorance, both debate honors and civics honors
