Shouldn't we have a White History Month?

Well since this month, February, is Black History Month I've been thinking... Since everyone is all about equality, shouldn't both blacks and whites have months where we remember their past? So what are your thoughts on this Flood? Edit: Ok Flood, I want to clarify something. I just want to know if you would like a White History Month or not, and why. Me personally, I wish we didn't have any months dealt with race. I truly am sorry if I offended anyone, seemed rude, racist, etc..

    • Yes since every month is technically Jew History Month.

    • one month couldn't establish how much white people did. We give black people a month because they don't do a lot. So it's an inside joke for white people.

      • No, the African Americans must feel officially recognized as special or they feel offended and oppressed.

        • In all seriousness, teaching kids about racism in the past just causes more racism. In my class anytime my teacher talks about racism all the kids are always talking about revenge and how much they don't like whites. Then there's me, sitting there thinking: "I'm surrounded by idiots"

                  [u][b]Black history according to The Flood:[/b] [/u] [b]Super long ago like 1600's IDK[/b]: Africans sneak their own brothers and sisters onto the ships of unsuspecting Americans. Upon arriving in America, the White people graciously decide to give the Africans room and board in exchange for some menial labor. [b]Still a long time ago maybe 1700's or something:[/b] a couple of really mean White people [i](not all of them, only a couple, #notallwhites)[/i] decide to treat their Black employees badly and give the whole thing a bad name. [b]APRIL 12, 1864:[/b] [i][b][u]THE WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION[/u][/b][/i] begins when the fascist North hits our cannonballs with their fort and destroys STATES' RIGHTS. Despite the Confederacy's superior military tactics/righteous cause/Southern Charm, Abraham "Literally Hitler" Lincoln ekes out a victory. [b]A little while later in the 1800's:[/b] revisionist Northern propaganda calls the war the "Civil War" and says it was fought over "slavery". Decides to get rid of the whole thing and, the South, noble even in defeat, acquiesces. [b]1900's:[/b] States forget to give Blacks access to a couple of public facilities, honest mistake. Martin Luther King is kind enough to point it out, but the federal government totally blows it out of proportion. [b]1980's:[/b] Rather than taking their newfound freedom and building a respectable community, the Blacks turn into rappists and sag their pants, completely dishonoring the memory of MLK. [b]Present day:[/b] America is a post-racial utopia, where no minority faces any kind of institutional or societal barrier to opportunity. With nothing left to talk about, the Liberals decide to dredge up the past and start crying "racism" at everything.

                      At first, when I was young, I didn't think much of black history month. I always thought it was a cool thing. But now I see it as a stupid concept to please black people.

                    • White history: every one is equal, now let's go take those natives land and home when they are done helping us, enslave them, realize they get sick too easy, and use black people, kill people for our religion of tolerance for not fitting our ideals, ruin a bunch of civilized cities that are more diverse and tolerant then us, and take credit for their ideas.

                    • To have a black history month would be admitting that you need special needs cause your a different color. If you truly want to end racism shouldn't everything b the same? Why do black people need a special month or special channels or award shows dedicated about their race and color ..... That's segregation ..... But yet cry racism when a black man/women doesn't recognized at a so called " white " event

                      If there ever was a white history month what do you think the outcome would be? It would be riots and all hell breaking loose and the "minorities" would be calling it racist. Why would this happen? Everyone knows it would but why? Other races just can't seem to get past thinking that we are a evil race that doesn't deserve any special recognition. All the good stuff we have done will be thrown out the window and be replaced with all sorts of negative shit about whites. The minorities that has raised hell are given a month just to keep them shut up and maybe stop raising so much hell. Anyone notice the Asians don't have a month, or at least none that I'm aware of, yet they have done a ton of stuff to help humans progress. What exactly are we trying to remember about the blacks? There really is no point in candy coating it. All the month is really for is to make whites feel guilty for a month and to keep them remembering the stuff our ancestors done long time away, which I hate to say but my ancestors went through some shit as well back in Ireland. I know I'm gonna be called racist and all that jazz and quite frankly I don't give a -blam!-. I know what I am and it's pointless to point it out.

                      • What about Indian history month? I mean we did come and steal their land and kill their people when they actually tried to do something about it.
