In the United States February is Black History Month. It is a month, created to celebrate the accomplishments of the black population of the United States. It was created in the early 1900´s when black people were generally considered lesser human beings and were denied many of the rights given to white people, including voting and sitting anywhere in a bus or restaurant. In the 1960´s there were many protests to try and gain equal rights for black people in the United States. Here is a video that shows a little about black history month.
To many people Black History Month is a good thing because it is a time to celebrate how black people have risen out of the racism that used to be normal in the USA. But, some people see Black History Month as another type of racism. One actor, Morgan Freeman, speaks out about this in an interview on 60minutes a news show in the USA. Freeman´s view is that it is racist to separate black history from American history as a whole. Here are some of his thoughts:
What do you think about Black History Month? Do you think that it is racist? Does Spain have anything like this?

We think that its good that black people celebrated the Black History Month because they have been discriminated for many years and We don't considerate that this celebration is a form of discrimination.
ResponderEliminarthe history is interesting.I think that this is some racist because the history is for all person not for one kind of people.No Spain doesn't have anything like this.
ResponderEliminarI think that is good remember the history and the things that black people do for their rights but I agree with Morgan Freeman, is necesary integrate the black history in American history.
ResponderEliminarIn own opinion, we believe that this video are very interesting. Black peope must fight for it's rights
ResponderEliminarAnd I think that today in many places of spain there are people who is racist,but the most aren't it.
ResponderEliminarI think that this documental explicate the old society racist in U.S.A.
We think like Morgan Freeman: Black History Month doesn't have to exist: Black History is American history. We believe that it's racist to feast the black history as if it was separated from the American.
ResponderEliminarIn Spain, we have something similar: the discrimination to the gypsies.
i think that black history month is nice for one side because it don't let you to forget how far racism could go but maybe it should form part of american history and make a month for american history and then remeber all that happend with the segregation.
ResponderEliminari think that in spain there's nothing like this.
I think that that month is very interesting because it is a thing that not all the countries have. In my opinion black people can fight against the racism, and they can have more oportunities since this month was recognised by all people
ResponderEliminarwe think that Black History Month is a little racist but the past of black people isn´t the same that the white people, so it is normally that the tradition of both is different.
ResponderEliminarthats a part of histori of the world and we cn't forget it.
ResponderEliminarwe think that this month is good for black people because they have a black history and we must remember that
ResponderEliminarin our opinion the black history month it is good because is a day to celebrate that black people get their rights and freedom.
ResponderEliminarI believe that this honoring wing black these people very well because they always have been discriminated, but I believe that it(he,she) is today still racism exists very much
ResponderEliminarin my opinion, that's fine to celebrate this day because it is a day to defend racial equality and a memorable date in history.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, Black History Month can be considerate racist, like Morgan Freeman thinks. On the other hand, black people have suffered and is suffering racism, so I considerate that Black History Month is a good way to show the world how black people have fought for their rights.
ResponderEliminarI think that this month is good for black people, because they claim his equal right
ResponderEliminari think that the black history month is good because it remember the history of black people and celebrate the finish of racism.
ResponderEliminarL O L ^_^
ResponderEliminarI consider "black month" as a continue of the racism in America, because in my opinion american´s black population may have up to the idea that at present time they are considered as citizens of america. I think that they shouldn´t come back or remember the wrong times
Nowadays, racism is said to be one of the most important problems all over the world.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand racism is not only another way of racism but they celebrate a month dedicated to racism. I think that this is a fool celebration. On the other hand, black people has to finish the racism in the world because black people have been subordinated of any way to white people since many centuries ago. lost338
I think that is a good to celebrate a day to fight against the racism.In Spain there isn't nothing similar,but in USA still has not eliminated the racism
ResponderEliminarThis celebration is commemorate black people who fought your rights and finally died to its!!
ResponderEliminarFor that reason is the best form to remember them!!
I think it's wrong to devote the month of February to blacks, because we have to worry about more important things.
ResponderEliminarWhether American society will be considered appropriate to discriminate because they have their reasons, I think this video is not racist but each can be considered racist or not.
In Spain there is nothing like this, and I think it is not important, that there are more important.
I agree in that the black history month because is in favor to the races equality
ResponderEliminarI think it's a good choice it has black history month.We must not forget the difficulties of black people who spent his time.
ResponderEliminarin my opinon this celebration is completely absurd and out of season because those who suffered were the black natives and not the new generation of black people in certain countries that do not bring more problems.
ResponderEliminaron the other hand I think it's racist because it is a constant flux to which we are subjected.
In Spain there is no such thing.
best regards
