Just asking this question is enough to get you sent to the camps....

Black History Month, Black TV, etc.

Two points, please:

1. Yes, the word “black” here refers to a race. But I think it’s better thought of as an ethnic group. In my neck of the woods, there is a large amusement park. And they hold an “African-American Day” there every year. Does that mean there should also be a “White-American Day”?

No. Because there is already an “Italian-American Day”, a “Polish-American Day”, etc. (I am neither Italian nor Polish. But I go to the Italian Day for the food, and to the Polish Day for the music.)

2. Such things - Black TV, Polish-American Day, etc. - might be fun, but they really are a bit divisive. I’ll be happy enough if and when they fade away.

But I will still listen to my Polish polka CDs at home!

Keep asking this and pretty soon someone with will be pushing for a women’s history month. Stir the waters and the SJW wokes will “realize” what is “missing.”

Ah yes the annual whine. Pick your brand:
German history month is in October
Irish is March
Greek is also March
Jews get May
French get July

Everybody gets something.

A friend of mine routinely hangs out at my place and we get a little sh***y around a fire and discuss society.

He’s recently taken to the bs that “blacks owned/built/created everything” and they’re owed, something.

Longer standing, is his belief that “Whites” have not struggled or faced adversity, just showed up & took over. (short version).

Italians, Greeks, Slavs, Poles, Laplanders, Britts... all the same.

Different languages? Religion ? Physical appearances? Nope, you have no culture or you’re all the same culture.

The peoples called out as “White” are, currently, the end results of untold millennia of development, migration, war, devastation, extinction, survival, setbacks and success.

What is pilloried as “white supremacy” is what is successful.

If you speak an Indo-European language, use electricity, surf the interwebs, live in a house with windows, doors, a/c... you may want to thankful.

Officially its July. (Dec of independence, Gettysburg battle to free black people, white men on the moon, thanks to a white president’s challenge and white technology) but since school is out, kids cannot enjoy the greatness of the white race.

“When is White History Month? (Asking for a friend) [vanity]”

Right after the people of color bury the last white person on Earth.

The government will 'come and get you' for asking those kinds of questions.

The problem is that there even is a “black history month.” There is American History, and that includes all Americans. Dividing Americans into warring tribes is their goal, and they do it by assigning labels: White, black, native American, Hispanic, Asian, etc.

I would like to see American History month, but fear it would be hijacked by the looney left.
