ARE YOU AWARE THAT THIS IS "BLACK MUSIC MONTH"??? HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT?


[+] serious ballot by jappy
ACTIVE Tue Jun 27, 06 - Sat Mar 21, 09

I had no idea June was "Black Music Month" till I heard it mentioned on the news today. How idiotic is this?

How many different "INSERT COLOR RELIGION GENDER SEXUAL ORIENTATION TYPE OF ANIMAL History" months do we need to have, anyway? Since when does skin color become such a deciding factor in determining just what constitutes good or bad music?

Why can't people realize that when you celebrate the accomplishments of a group of people based on the color of their skin, you open the door to those who wish to criticize any faults, perceived or otherwise, that may have been perpetrated by those of the same skin color? You cannot justify one and then chastise the other, life doesn't work that way.

Is this a ridiculous celebration?

Yes, it is ridiculous
No, it's a justifiable celebration.
Aren't most music generes created by black people anyway?
I'm angry about National Dairy month

So your suggestin Jappy that gay people should just stay quiet about their sexuality so as to not invite criticism?

Yes you probably are.

June is also:

Adopt-A-Shelter Cat Month

Cancer from the Sun Month

Celibacy Awareness Month

Dairy Alternative Month

Effective Communications Month

Entrepreneurs "Do It Yourself" Month

Fireworks Safety Month

Gay & Lesbian Pride Month

International Accordian Awareness Month

Dairy Month

Perennial Gardening Month

Turkey Lovers Month

National Candy Month

National GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, & Transgender) Month

National Ice Tea Month

National Rose Month

National Soul Food Month

National Steakhouse Month

Pharmacists Declare War on Alcoholism Month

Potty Training Awareness Month

Rebuild Your Life Month

World Infertility Month

among others.

What's the big deal?

And why is it always Black History Month, or Black Music Month, or Kwanzaa, or Juneteenth that gets people all bothered? Ever notice that it's never National Dairy Month that gets people steamed up?

Well we should create a month for Jappy.

"Racist nonawareness Month"

^Mobsie, I don't think he was being racist, I kinda think it's silly to be celebrating 'black music month,' too.
by aya on Tue Jun 27, 06 12:49pm [+]

'national dairy month' how many ppl are even aware that it's national dairy month?
by aya on Tue Jun 27, 06 12:50pm [+]

Where have I ever stated anything RACIST? If anything, the definition of racism is the recognition good or bad of anything on the basis of race, if anything, the very idea of black history month or black music history month are racist in nature.

My opinion on this has always remained the same. How does "White History Month" sound to you? How about "White Music Month"? Pretty stupid hmm? Well Black History month sounds pretty stupid to me too, for the same reason, I find it offensive. Why can't we just celebrate something like "R&B Music History Month" which recognizes EVERYONE involved with jazz, rap, hip hop, etc, because the association with black music would leave out artists such as Eminem who have made quite a contribution to the music that is being celebrated by Black Music month, but they are going to be left out because they are in fact, not black.

Don't make such ignorant accusations, when you start calling people racist without provocation, you yourself tend to become the very thing you accuse others of.

I think that Cathexis once said something to the effect that it was only one month a year, and that Whites had the other eleven pretty much free and clear.

And, in all honestly, neither did I...

what? what does this have to do with anything? A gay person walking down the street minding his/her own business is not likely to illicite negative contact based on appearances. Someone who is black or asian or a female on the other hand is black or asian or female in appearance at all times. I don't remember looking at someone who is gay and saying "Hey, he's gay", in fact, I gave a gay guy a ride home from work for more than 2 weeks in my convertible and never even knew he was gay.

Oh, and I continued to give him a ride home for another month while he waited to save up money to get his own car repaired. I fail to see the relevance here.
by jappy on Tue Jun 27, 06 10:38pm [+]

Well hello jappy... so, you have a convertible?!
