If we have Black History Month why don't we have White History Month?

Still surely it doesn't mean we can't celebrate prominent figures of all races? Heck judging by your argument we should have an Indigenous people month aswell

Well, the main idea is that White people have contributed so much to the world over time that it would just be arrogant to dedicate a month to ourselves. It's basically considered rude to point out White accomplishments when other races may not have accomplished as much. That's not the nicest way to say it, but that's pretty much what it comes down to.

The other issue is that White people don't really like being lumped together. If you did create a White History Month, various nationalities would complain that it's predominately highlighting British and American achievements, and then ask for a German History Month, an Irish History Month, a French History Month, etc... and before you know it, everyone would want their own month, and there are only 12 to go around. Someone would be left out and angered.

The main reason Blacks were chosen to have their own month is because they need the most encouragement. They have no large countries or great empires to their name like Whites and Asians do. So we throw them a bone and remind them that despite the bad luck of their people over time, they still have contributed a lot and are meaningful. Think about it... if you're White, you can think about ancient Rome. If you're Asian, maybe you think about China. If you're Arab, maybe you think of ancient Persia. But if you're Black? Well, maybe Egyptians were Black? Otherwise, you've got nothing.

So Black people need a month more than everyone else does. Hopefully during that month, they will find something to take pride in and thus feel less of a need to tear people of other races down to make themselves feel better.

Black people have been shamed by racist scum for all of history and are still shamed today. White people have faced no such shame.

There's five. There are more.

This is single handedly the dumbest thing I've ever read online and shows you have no actual clue of historical events at all.


The Roman Empire alone used to enslave Germans and Celts and see them as sub-humans due to their fairer skin. However, feel free to rewrite history to suit your own motives and underlying agenda.

It's because black people - and this is looking especially at the US, whose race relations issues are horrendous - have often been marginalised by society and forgotten by history, even when making massive historical contributions.

In places like the US for example, 'mainstream' history was very often 'white-only' history

Thanks! That's interesting... strange that they never talk about those Empires and Kingdoms during Black History Month.

For that matter, they should probably be covered in World History more often.

Why, because most History we are taught in school is white...

The number of white European slaves is only a fraction of the trade that brought 10 million to 12 million black African slaves to the Americas over a 400-year period, and in no way comparable to the slavery faced by non-white people.

Why do you want to feel oppressed so badly?

Some researchers estimate that altogether up to 3 million people were captured and enslaved during the time of the Crimean Khanate.

You really need to read more about the history of Africa.

mmm, living in ****, capturing other tribesmen and selling them into slavery and then blaming old whitey, moving to european countries for a better life and then moaning about racism and any other disadvantage they can think off, because their ancestors hated the country and its opportunities so much they had to move here..........
The north Africans have achieved stuff tbf, like the the north east springs to mind.... but central africa, and everything that's not north africa, I don't think so.

Where's Armenian Month then? Oh wait, that's right. Instead we just have people denying that the Armenian Genocide ever took place because it suits their narrative and deep down they don't care about people, just what suits their own agenda. Armenians and the Roma population probably have more right to such in Europe than anyone else but who cares about them, right?



I don't feel oppressed. Jog on with your daft assertions.

It's just nonsense really. It's something done by people who wish to jump on the bandwagon in an attempt to make themselves feel important and valuable in the world. It's usually delusional liberals without any clue about the wider world and a narcissistic need to make everything about them.

We do not have Armenian Month. We do not have Roma Month. We do not have Hazara Month. We do not have German Month to discuss the persecution they have faced by being incorrectly associated with the Kaiser and Nazi regimes. You only care when it suits YOU to care.
