That make no since at all, all races or none. I'm white, I didn't own any slaves, yet I have to waste my time listening to black kids saying because I'm black and oh you wouldn't understand because you're white and I'm black. I don't see them picking cotton, having to fight for their rights. They complain about the word nigger, but steadily use it. I can be called a cracker and it's hahaha but let me call out a nigger and see how serious it gets. The whole world's racist and you need to teach your kid that she isn't suffering from the past, she ain't Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman and everyone should have a month or no one should. It's that simple.

I thought about this long and hard. Yes, there should be a White History month - either we have a history month for everyone or nobody.

So I’ve decided to make January White History Month, and here is why: Martin Luther King wanted all of us to get along - he dreamt of black kids and white kids walking hand in hand in solidarity. So I figure, why not? Have Martin Luther King Day in White History Month - I think he would have liked that, given that MLK Day will always be celebrated.

Also, I don’t think we need to dwell on the negative - there were many white people who worked to end racism and if it weren’t for them, our society wouldn’t be where it is today. Why not use White History Month to remember them?
