Should the following be allowed?

White history, black history, purple history, green history. Ultimately, it is all American history, the good, the bad and the ugly. I wish we could just accept each other as fellow Americans and try to move forward positively.

These comments below from both points of view make me absolutely sick.

What would white people celebrate during this month? Genocide of Native Americans? Enslaving Africans? Gassing Jewish people? The Inquisition? Witch hunts? Sounds like a history only white people would be proud of.

@need_codered you piece of.....don't get me started if you want to go over history. and it seems that no matter where we go in this country, you always come and find us. then screw it up even more.

• The law of unintended consequences.......the guy is either clueless or (more likely) racist.

• NOW the guy just wants to get suckers to send money like they did that pizza place in Indiana.

• But even generous homophobes and racists have a limit on how much they are gonna donate......especially when whoever is whining for money is not the first.......

@TheWhitePrivilegeFallacy And you wonder why we have black history month. If the acts weren't committed against blacks post slavery we wouldn't need to have this conversation. Save the economics lesson, how much money was used to bailout wall street? The dollar is the worlds reserve currency, it won't collapse as long as it holds that title.

I think the real problem is that paying the money would be an acknowledge of guilt and would hurt certain peoples sensibilities.
