When is White History Month?

[Derek]

<span style="font-style: italic">While I may be risking sounding like a bigot, I can't help but notice that events like this are what breed racism. to even acknowledge the separation seems to be racist.

Human history is human history. I don't seem to be alone on this. If you google white history month the question seems to get asked a lot. And I am surprised to hear so many views from that search that thinks that ALL white people have had a comfortable history surrounded by servants and silk. that is BS!!

My age group never did anything to offend other races, we embraced it as far as i can tell. *SNIP* Same goes with sushi, that stuff isn't even a proper meal from what i was taught about food groups, but i supported it. I hate currie, but i will still suffer a plate of butter chicken cause that *SNIP* is good.

Why do i see so many young people from other races act like they need to be different from white people? What do white people DO that is so white? Modernized? that is white? well there were times that wasn't so, so i would say we have just as much to celebrate but are too scared to because it might offend other races </span>

<span style="font-style: italic">LOL. Didn't you know that whites, especially white males are the epitome of evil and all that is wrong with the world? Political correctness shows that interest in white history means that you are a racist mean spirited bigot. I mean why else would michelle obama be ashamed of this country right up until her husband was elected president? Certainly she knows better than any dirty nasty white man does. Just for future reference, you should know that the only permissible discrimination is against straight white males. [/sarcasm]


Now people going to ask what about brown, light brown, tan etc?

No, I don't think it's racist. Hell maybe what's racist about it is that only 1 month out of the 12 is devoted to it?

Rather it's to respect that culture in my opinion.

It's true, there is so much to celebrate about the &quot;whites&quot;...and about any culture..maybe you guys don't get the true amount of appreciation that you would get.

You say scared...what is there to be scared about? Celebrate all you wish, I don't think there would be anyone stopping you..rather they would all want to join in!!

I respect the culture, I celebrate it..because I think it's necessary and I want to...but sometimes I think it's stupid that people are being told to respect it..

They need to learn to.



Yeah... and where is the

WET ? (White Entertainment Network) ... obviously BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION. BET

Or the Caucasion network? (there are many east-indian, etc chnls in my area)

Or any white pride parades? Oh right... KKK took that too far.

Here is the thing, I am not racist. I never was. I think it's ridiculous.

I think it's ridiculous how all of or a great number of ethnicities have 'networks' and whatnot... but probably because i am WHITE.

The answer to your strugglesome question is this... White-man settled this land, and europe... the &quot;minorities&quot; need identifcation and uniquity by having these chennels etc because the REST of everything IS WHITE ...

It's basically &quot;white day&quot; every day.

My vote is for ZERO &quot;pride&quot; parades. Pride is for the inexperienced, unknowledged and naive.



White history = European history, American history which is something you studied in school and live in every day as history is a living entity. Do you really want to be limited to a month and then forgotten the rest of the year? Do you really want &quot;white&quot; history to be commercialized and turned into a fad where people celebrate the history just within that month and not every day? Black History month celebrates Black American history - it has nothing to do with race but rather black culture in America - which is a EURO-CENTRIC country. There is no such thing as white history because you can't just base history on race and dismiss all the different European cultures.

If you are American, and by your negative tone, you are, why don't you become a scholar on American history? Why not find about your ancestors? Are you Scottish, British, French, etc? Learn about that and stop making this about race.



Haha, It's every month of the year. Despite what you're told Black History has no month. History isn't considered only a month out of the year but rather daily. Don't let reverse racism bring up questions like this, that's what it's intended for. Kids these days don't see the difference in somebody's color until it is pointed out to them. Don't fall prey to the trap that racism is a big problem these days, it just adds to it. Racism is a problem that is being created at this point in time. Don't think of it has Black History, think of it as history. Don't ask for a white history month, hispanic history month, native american history month, etc. because it only divides. Even though it may come from a good place, it's division either way. Separate but equal sound familiar? Keep it Together and Equal.



When is Asian History Month? When is Hispanic History Month? When is Native American History Month? When is...well you get the picture.

It might be time to do away with this practice, eh? Keeping it separate and in the forefront, while benevolent in intention and full of pride and all that, in reality just keeps it all separate. And, if I'm not mistaken, keeping focus on differences and enforcing separation is not the idea.



Dudes come on chill out, we have the entire year, we're the top dogs world wide, we're under no threat, there's over a billion of us and our history proves us to be the meanest most warlike bunch of rich folks ever so we're not gona lose Top Dawg status any time soon, so again *SNIP*. </span>
