Why can't I just proclaim a month men's history month or white history month?

I am thinking May since that is my birth month. I mean we could celebrate both in one month, or spread it out between two months. Thoughts?

Well feminists will say June is men's health month... but honestly its not he same as women's history month. As far as the white history month... I got nothing. Its just a uncomfortable truth about the true nature of race in America, where all our heroes by revisionist history. They say ever month is white history month. But that's not really true... we have put many other people on the same level of the founding fathers, and honestly there is something disingenuous about that. More like appeasement then anything else.

Because even though the intent might not be racist, white supremacists like to ruin shit for other white people to the point where something little becomes synonymous with racism. Look at Pepe the frog. Went from funny to a hate image. Don't get mad at black people for getting offended. Get mad at white supremacists for ruining it

tbh i think it'd be best if we didn't have a month for any race/gender. I feel like those months just can cause arguments and make people farther apart from each other.

You can there's nothing stopping you. Today (April 4th) is international carrot day. If a vegetable can get a day surely you can do better.

You're confused. No one's keeping you from doing that. But you are not entitled to not being ridiculed and critisized for it. Go ahead and be a fucking idiot. But then don't complain about people calling you a fucking idiot.
Because you clearly are a fucking idiot.

In America: American Men and especially white American men are given attention for what they have done on a daily basis. In fact, so much so, it has become mundane conversation.

They already recognize and teach about white mens history in schools.
It’s called history. No need for a month. We use those to highlight the histories of those not recognized and taught about.

[DaySpring]

That was a beautiful answer.

What about a month for people who acknowledge the world doesn’t revolve around them?

[Dargil]

All Western history IS white men's history. With few exceptions, every one else is supporting cast. We do not need a "month". Every month is ours.

Because you are nothing important and celebrating nothing important

[sirderpsalot123]

Our history is men's history. What would we need a men's history month for?

[Anonymous]

Many countries do have men's month or day and white history month is more spread through the year like guy Fawkes day, Oktoberfest, st Patrick's day, st Andrews day. Even st Nicholas for Christmas and Christmas celebrates the birth of a white man

[OddBeMe]

Luckily in America, you can celebrate anything as much as you want.

[UniquelyBasic]

Every month is mens history month

[SmokinAces2000]

There’s 12 months for both

[WhiteBoyChill]

Bllshit.

When is white culture ever celebrated like black culture?

[SmokinAces2000]

It’s America tf are you talking about it’s all white culture 🤦‍♂️

[DaySpring]

@WhiteBoyChill Okay let's pretend you're not wrong for a second. What would you specifically celebrate during white history month or mens history month? Because I think it's probably already being given attention on a daily basis so much so it is regular, normal conversation.
