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..

    [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.
