Something has puzzled me for a long time now... why isn't there a White History Month?

Posted on 07/26/2010 1:04:48 PM PDT by Ancient Drive

There is a month for just about everything under the sun but this. Why?

Cue liberal shouting “Because Every Day is White History Month!”

(Yes, enjoy it, it will be said that way.)

It’s called Western Civ.

That you post a vanity such as this leads me to believe you have an ulterior motive. But why should your motive be any different than 50% of current posters?

Depends on who you ask...

I'll just bet "the reverend jessie jackson" or good old charlie "wrangle" would have an opinion (of course, stated as fact).

But it sure would be fun and a bit adventurous to ask white liberal, socialist folk that same question just to see 'em squirm....folks like hitler-y clintoon, garrison keeler, chrissy mathews, and/or keith older-man!

Because Whites aren’t allowed to take pride in their history (the history of the United States) and because the democrats want Blacks to blame Whites for all their troubles so that they will vote democrat.

If the politicians really cared about this country they wouldn’t do all they can to divide people and set them against one another.

February is really White Guilt month - remember slavery 200 years ago that was practiced by a small number of Whites and which a larger number of Whites died in war to eliminate.

And St. Sava’s, and Vidovdan!!!!

Why not make ALL of June Serbian-American History Month? (Vidovdan is in June.) That will also pre-empt June as a de facto “gay history” month, as well as honoring the heroic Serbian people!!!!

Because most whites are too busy living their lives, or care what non whites think of them, and dont really need to prop up their image. This thread is embarrassing.

I asked that question before to many people and they say because it has been White History Day for the last two hundred years. They say that especially in history books, all you do is study White people and if you speak of African American it is normally in a negative. Comments?

“Something has puzzled me for a long time now... why isn’t there a White History Month?”

Because many of us crackers are secure within ourselves.

At least, I am; therefore, I don’t need a whitey month, day, hour, or whatever.

Why do we have to have a women’s History month (March)?

I look forward to the day when we can just have ‘history’, rather than having history co-opted by this group or that group.

Yeah, I still waiting for my subscription to "Ivory" magazine and the WET cable channel!

Think I'll start a new political action organization. I'll call it the NAACP.

National Association for the Advancement of Colorless People.

It will document and protest the professional, social, political and institutional discrimination of individuals due to their lack of adequate or politically acceptable skin pigmentation!

I decided about 10 years ago to stop fighting the left’s arguments for them like that.

I came to the conclusion that even though I thought I was being clever by understanding what they would say, it was really only a symptom of having been propagandized.

School history books tend to cover material relevant to the country in question. History, as traditionally taught, is an account of the past exploits of national figures and leaders, combined with bits and pieces about the zeitgeist of various time frames, and national origin narratives. In the US, the national leaders are 99% white, and the origins of American political philosophy are in Europe (roughly 100% white). Having a White History Month in America would be redundant - American history is (mostly) white history, just as Nigerian history is black history and Japanese history is yellow history.

It’s good to pay attention to the food that winds up on the calendar, like usually next month Village Inn will have a deal on peach cobbler because August is National Peach Month. You can blow a diet to pieces real cheap using the commemorative month calendar.

A congress could refuse to recognize any month based on skin color, I don’t see anyone with that kind of juevos in congress.

It’s generally assumed that the other months, events, and significant portions of history are reserved for “whites”.

//I asked the same thing in the mid-80’s? Why do we have a black history month, shouldn’t we celebrate historical relevance whenever it is?
