I started a thread so that people could celebrate Women's History month in the forums here. But, so far the response to this thread has been very limited. Obviously, there are neither those who care that much about the contributions women have made in history to contribute to the discussion, nor anyone that wants to object it being celebrated on the grounds that it's discriminatory towards men. Now, I've taken into consideration that this is a dating site. Because of that I'm sure the men might not want to alienate themselves from the women. And I'm also aware that there might be a lot of other reasons why the thread is practically dead. What I can't understand is why there was so much of an uproar over celebrating Black History month, yet not Women's History ? Why is it that it doesn't offend anyone ? I would have thought that the same basis for objecting to Black History month would apply to Women's history. After all both are celebrated for basically the same reasons. And if it's racially discriminatory to celebrate Black History month, then it's discrimination based on sex to celebrate Women's History month. Now, I should mentioned at this point that I don't think that it's discrimanatory to celebrate either. I just can't understand why those that objected to one, haven't objected to the other on the same grounds ?

You have it twisted.
It's not discriminatory to celebrate either, it's hypocritical to criticize others when they want to celebrate something like a White History Month or a Mens' History month.
It is some of those who celebrate the Black and Womens' history events who are intellectually dishonest, not the ones who point that out.

Maybe you should read the OP again to see which one of us has it twisted.
I did mention that I didn't think either one was discriminatory....and I would suggest that no one waste their time clicking on to the video...it's about some old movie that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Who gets to decide who is being "intellectually dishonest" and who is not ?

Liberals thrive on categorizing people and turning them against each other. They are obsessed with this madness.
black against white
men against women
young against old
poor against rich
rural against urban
They need to have this discord in order to fool people into thinking that government protection is the only way we can get along. They want government to have all the power and the people to have none.
This poster's post is a typical example of how ludicrous the thinking that has come out of this brainwashing has become.
Now it's blacks against women!
Man, have you drank the Kool-Aid!

If everyone practices respect all of the time, we wouldn't need "months" made into big deals.

Here ya go Diamond....let me blow it up for you since you obviously either can't or won't read it.
Now, I should mentioned at this point that I don't think that it's discrimanatory to celebrate either. I just can't understand why those that objected to one, haven't objected to the other on the same grounds ?
And how can you claim that "liberals" are the ones that are devisive while separating what liberals do against what others do ? And you haven't answered my question, who gets to decide who is being "intellectual dishonest", and who isn't. Cause from reading your comments it seems you are being a little dishonest yourself.

I dont have a problem with womens history month or any other kind of month. I just dont like certain ones can be celebrated while the others cant. I want equality.
The statement came from another thread. The poster has very liberal on her profile. The subject had nothing to do with race, yet she tried bringing it up which could start and argument between races. That is an example of how I see liberals trying to play groups against each other.
A very interesting topic. Shame that many of the links you get when you google this topic are the old racist citizen councils.

Maybe the links she found were racist. I know that poster BTW, and she is hardly a race-baiter. In fact, the opposite is true. I see her avoiding conflicts in the forums, and consistently posting very insightful, well-reasoned, and nicely written post.

We know perfectly well who is racist and twisted. O

No one needs a link to point out the obvious. You people are in total denial.

Onoudn. I just noticed you have liberal in your profile. And you started a thread bringing up racial issues.
And if it's racially discriminatory to celebrate Black History
I done see many people with a problem with black history month. But I see a lot of liberals complaining about white history month. It is not discriminatory to celebrate any type of month, but it is to allows certain groups to celebrate and not others.
And I did not call the poster a race baiter. I just mentioned a liberal usually is the one who brings up race issues during a discussion.And her post was an example.

Jeeez Ari, are we all going to have to go and view each others profiles to have a discussion here now ? And you are making this too personal. Individuals are not topics. Why is it ok for you to paint all liberals in such general terms ? It doesn't make much sense to stereo-type people in order to make a point about equality.

You dont have a better response than that?By the way, i did not say all liberals do this. I said
But I see a lot of liberals
[QUOTE]What I can't understand is why there was so much of an uproar over celebrating Black History month, yet not Women's History ? Why is it that it doesn't offend anyone ?
And all I did was answer your questions as I see it. So why are you upset. You ask for answers, you got it. Next time when you start a thread looking for opinions of why people get in a uproar over certain issues, be sure to post the opinions must match yours.

Ummm this is what you posted. And I'm not upset at all. Not even sure why you would think that. I just don't like to see people attacked unfairly. There's a whole history indicated in the post you are talking about ( ie Jim Crow, State rights to have slavery. etc). And she wasn't the first person on that thread to make reference to that history. She was just more honest and upfront with what she was talking about.

Although it has been revised by historical revisionists that is what started the civil war, states rights over federal rights. I opt for states rights.
Some people dispute the popular notion that the civil war was over slavery, and instead assert the above. If a person were to research a response to the statement they might very well run into mention of racist groups like the citizens coucils...

Why is it that it doesn't offend anyone ?

He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

Ok, I implied all liberals in that statement. Forgive me, libs.
I read the first page of the tread you sent me to, then got bored. You may need to tell me what post you are talking about.
Now why are you bringing up the civil war? Did I miss something?

The civil war is connected to states rights, as is Jim Crow, slavery, and citizens councils. The post where you claim a liberal was the first to bring up race, may have been a response to that statement. I don't know since I didn't make it. However, the general theme of slavery was implied in the revisionist comment. Race may not have been mentioned ouright in the first statement, that is true. But it certainly open the gate, since slavery in America is a racial issue. One statement, the one you took issue with, is more honest in it's approach; the other dances around the issue in an apparent attempt to play coy, and/or possibly cry foul when race is mentioned. I've noticed that many in the right camp often use tactics like this, and other debate ploys, to manipulate the discussion as to make it appear as if liberals are initiating a discussion on something, when in fact they--the liberals--are only following the natural flow of the discussion.
You stopped too soon and reading the other thread, it was the first comment on the second page...sorry I should have told you that...
