    Because Hitler still lives in the memories of people alive today.

    If I were black and my history was relegated to being beaten by police and run down with fire hoses, I wouldn't want to advertise that.

    What do you imagine the psychological effects are when somebody who identifies the color of their skin by being enslaved and beaten and raped? Do you think they look upon their history as something to be admired? Maybe something to be emulated? After all, the white man could have enslaved native Americans, but us white guys chose to cross the Atlantic ocean to procure African slaves! Surely there is something admirable in being chosen for slavery over another race that was so much more accessible. No need for slave boats or crossing the atlantic. But they went out of their way to get superior African slaves!!!!

    What do blacks have to celebrate? To the revisionists, they have slavery and peanuts.

    Or that many Poles assimilated better to American society.

    I wouldn't be so surprised that Poles, and Italians are more discriminated by American society TODAY, than Blacks are.

    Because there's clearly an institutionalized prejudices bought to us by media, and Hollywood against Poles, and Italians.

    But, there's also an institutionalized system to deny that they even experienced prejudices.

    Soviets killed more people than Nazis did, in a similar era, and yet there's only a minor demonization of the Soviets.

    It's clearly multiple factors, including America fought the Nazis, and they dehumanized them, the Americans allied with Soviets therefor there was even an opposite impact to deny, FDR knew about Katyn Massacre killing Poles, but hid it from the public.
    Then you have a good deal of Jews in positions which allow them to harp on the Nazis, from college professors, to scientists, historians, media, Hollywood all have a disproportionate amount of Jews in it's ranks.

    Simply put, yes. There are plenty of things more racist.

    Different eras, and areas of schooling obviously taught different things, meaning perhaps you learned about such figures in school, but I simply did not.

    I learned about such figures from outside of school.

    In fact, 95% of my knowledge comes from outside of school.

    So, what, I'm uneducated because of this?

    What a ridiculous statement.

    The 2 biggest genocides in history are both neglected, and both happened in India, being the Muslim killings in India, and then the British killings in India modeled off of the Muslim regime before them.

    So, absolutely there's clearly not a fair playing ground when it comes to atrocities of history.

    Hitler died in 1945. That's 72 years years ago, and anybody alive 72 years ago was a baby. Give them ten years to remember, and that person would now be 82 years old.

    Sorry, but the second world war was fought so long ago that those who still have memories of when it happened are mostly worm food now. Hitler lives on in the memories of today because he has become a synonym for evil. Not because of anything Hitler did, which is the same as what Genghis or Alexander did.

    I'm reminded of a question I was asked long ago by a logic professor. He asked "what if Hitler wasn't Hitler?".

    I didn't realize it when I answered, because I was like... wtf? what if brown wasn't brown? but he made a really good point by saying that Hitler was different to different people, and that his mom probably thought of him as some snot nosed kid who didn't like eating his spinach. That was the hitler that his mom knew, but what is the hitler that we know?

    What if Hitler wasn't Hitler?

    We know of Hitler, not through actual knowledge of him, but rather through the various things we've read about him. Not because he still lives in the memories of people alive today, but rather because he lives in the minds of people today who didn't even know him.

    If there was no Hitler, dems would find another "evil" person to compare with Trump, or whomever is the republican president at the moment. And they believe every word the mainstream media tells them. :)

    I always admired Nicholas Herkimer. But, it was his parents who came over on the boat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Herkimer

    How about someones support a, One Nation, America.
    "They" decided to live/stay here because of a society created by White Judeo-Christian, Masonic philosophy.

    Time to celebrate our common Americanisms and not our differences. So help me Lord.

    Probably Liberals would be forced to dehumanize Trump, by pointing out to Belgian King Leopold, and his genocide in the Congo.

    So long as certain groups are appeased for not assimilating, I see no reason why other groups can't do such.

    As long as the commemoration is seen as a black movement not really a felony against humanity, then it will continue to be construed as racial.

    You clearly haven't been shown The Truth.

    You see, racism is prejudice plus power. Without power, you cannot be racist. Therefore, since minorities have no political power, only whites can ever be racist.

    Blacks can be prejudiced, but that's a minor offence.

    That's institutionalized racism, not necessarily all forms of racism.

    Besides,
    that happened in a Black neighborhood, as if Blacks in their own neighborhoods have no power?

    That's why he was called Whitey Jay, because he was a White minority, and they had the strength by numbers to bully him.

    No, blacks cannot have political power. Even in Zimbabwe and South Africa where blacks have unquestioned power, they are still suffering under a history of white enslavement and apartheid. They will never be able to get past whiteys crimes.

    Again, you're thinking of institutionalized racism, which is only one form of racism.

    In Zimbabwe in recent years, there has most certainly been institutionalized racism against Whites.

    No, because they are black they cannot be racist. You do not understand.

    Ah, I see we're once again coming back to the random outburst of anger at BHM and all the misinformation that comes along with said outburst.

    If it actually qualified as racist, then yea you might have a point.

    Luckily for you, I learned how to use Google a long time ago.

    http://nativeamericanheritagemonth.gov/
    http://hispanicheritagemonth.gov/
    http://asianpacificheritage.gov/

    Your sudden opposition to a heritage month is based on a change to currency?

    On another note, congratulations on defying the odds and making it through another Black History Month, which I'm sure you likely don't care about any other month of the year:roll:

    There is an Irish history month it's called March. Most often, St. Patricks's Day activities do nothing to curtail the drunken Irish-American stereotype.

    imo

    The people who promote BHM, are also the same who promote the idea that there is no such thing as whiteness, it's just a social construct.

    While black history month may be silly blacks are the only group that was enslaved for 200 years or so years and are given little or no credit for for such things as fighting in our wars such as almost two hundred thousands in our civil war and while they did as must dying as whites they was paid half repeat half the salaries as whites in that war.

    An after slavery was ended they was still treated very very badly and not given credit for their contributions up to the beginning of my own lifetime.

    Given them a month to show case those contributions seem a very minor offset to the history of bad treatments.

    Black was a social construction that was written into our laws long after slavery was ended such as who you could marry and where you could sit in a damn bus and the jobs you could do.

    As I already stated given bad treatments that no other group suffer for centuries even the native Americans having a month set aside for them hardly seems a great injustice.
