Why don’t we have a white history month?

[Anonymous]

We should be proud!

We have the whole year. We only gave the blacks one month and it's the shortest month of the year. We don't have an ego problem. We don't need to remind ourselves of our accomplishments, and we don't need to make ourselves feel special or validated. Also, I don't think anyone would let us have a month for ourselves even if we wanted to, people hate us and don't think we deserve it. But we don't need one. The only reason we'd get one is just to troll the wokists. But we don't need validation. Everyday people survive thanks to us, whether they want to admit it, or not.

you say "we gave the blacks one month" in a way that insinuates they've been granted a set time for relevance and appreciation. just furthering the point that theyre existence is highlighted by "us" for a set period of time. why do people need to be "given validation" and notoriety. why is it not every day of the year they remember who and what they are, why is the anecdotal mythological allotted "month" title, what reinforces that. it makes little to no sense to me. do you stop existing and living and being who you are and fade into the twilight zone everyday outside of your birthday? does religion go out the window everyday outside of Christmas, or kwanza?

Because "white" isn't an ethnicity. Neither is "black", of course, but it has functionally been lumped in to one by social and economic unpleasantness.

The point of BHM is to celebrate accomplishments in spite of the oppression they faced. White people by and large have not had that issue. Not to the same degree, anyway.

[nevooo]

tell that to jewish people.

[Jumpintoadstool]

@nevooo Jewish hence why I said by and large. As in by comparison to the history of the world.

Because in most times when someone talks about History it's all about white people. Especially in western nations.

[Lynx122]

Because history is white history. If you study history most of the important things happened in Europe. There's a few things in the Middle East and Asia but mainly history is in Europe with white people.

There shouldn't be any months dedicated to any given demographic, period.

[Dargil]

Almost all recorded history is White History. Yeah I know, the Chinese, Japanese and Indians. But much of it wasn't written down.

[Blueeyes81]

I'm pretty sure that my high school history was 100% white history.

[jogeb907433]

Because nobody cares about white people, I don't care either.

[NaultD]

It's called everyday of the year.

[abc3643]

Because every month is White History Month.

[normalice]

History is actually just white history, lol

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Every month is white history month. GTFO

Because White people invented the calendar.
