Every February, when Black History Month comes around, like clockwork, a small percentage of people (you know which ones) take umbrage that Black people get a month to celebrate their history, and there is no White History Month to counterbalance it. I used to argue that white history is taught year-round and thus there is no need to dedicate a month to focus on it. But recently, my views have shifted.
I've come to a realization: Perhaps we do need a white history month—if not two or three. Truth is, a lot of white history has been left out of the books, and Americans of every color need to be aware. Stay with me, here.
Much of the white history we've been taught via public education is sugar-coated or omitted altogether. Let's start at this country's nascent days. George Washington, America's first president, was rumored to have had wooden teeth. That is merely a myth. The truth is, some of the false teeth that comprised his dentures were taken from enslaved people—likely his own. Washington operated like every other enslaver of the time, authorizing beatings to maintain order and tearing apart families long before Donald Trump did the same.
Washington's will stipulated if he died before his wife, Martha, the enslaved people he owned (as opposed to those she held) be freed after her death. Martha ended up freeing his slaves once she realized they had a great incentive to speed up her demise. She released them not from the goodness of her heart but due to fear for her life.
We know Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, most famously Sally Hemings, with whom he had a decades-long relationship as she bore his children.

Yes and some of the “enslaved people” were sent to Paris for the culinary arts. Some even having their own collections of bone china!
Because the descendents had Jefferson family dna, it certainly cannot be established that it came from Thomas Jefferson. We know what kind of history this idiot wants to teach.
We should just shove our whiteness down the throats of everyone else every day.
I recommend:
An Irish History Month
An English History Month
A Scottish History Month
A Welsh History Month
A Norwegian History Month
A Swedish History Month
A Danish History Month
A Dutch History Month
An Italian History Month
A Celtic History Month
Jimmy Horndog Jefferson may have been the progenitor.
WELLLL, white guys thunk this thing up in first place.
German is the most common ethnic extraction in America, at least until Biden.
Should at least be German Week:

Libtard white guys?
Lol. Who wrote the tombstone? The Jefferson family obviously. Slavery did nothing but destroy this country. So stupid that people decided it was cool to kidnap people and hold them hostage. And why isn’t African countries part of the blame for selling their people to the idiot buyers?
Yeah, but it's the shortest month.
You forgot Jewish
Sounds familiar....

Police used to use shorthand to say the description of a suspect included “He wore a perp hat.”
You get drunk and hate yourself?...
A blacksploitation movie every evening.
Perhaps Dolomite for starters, maybe Black Caesar...
RE: Your fine cinema list, especially sensitive to this being Black History Month.
Although people here recognize classic lines from Casablanca and others, I remember being in the movie theater in Michigan watching Superfly when he says “I didn’t just order killers. I ordered white killers from Detroit.” To huge cheers.
That predates my movie theater time.
If blacks killed whitey, the US would be like Haiti.
Most are just too stupid to understand.
Aside from the fact there’s 5 whites to 1 black, we have guns, and we’re the most Veteran subset.
No I am happy
Nothing better than being a scotch Jew
I was stereotyping...
If it is even possible, the percentage of the commercials featuring ONLY black people seems to be even higher this month than it has been since the untimely martyring of St. George of Fentanyl.
