Historians explain why we have Black History Month but not white history month

Featuring Kahlil Greene aka #GenZHistorian
We weren’t “given” Black History Month. We fought and organized for it. In 1926, historian and scholar Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week, and over time this became Black History Month. February was chosen because it contains Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. In 1976, President Gerald Ford made Black History Month an official US commemoration.
For many Americans, particularly students, February is the only time that they learn about the history, accomplishments, and culture of Black Americans but unfortunately racist lawmakers are even trying to walk that back.
In fact, just two week ago, Florida prohibited AP African-American studies class from being taught. White History Month would be redundant because white supremacy ensures that whiteness is the baseline for everything in the USA.
White History is already centered throughout most of the year, and still major events like colonization, slavery, and genocide are not adequately discussed. Some of you should focus on fleshing out your own history before attacking ours.

Just going to quote what morgan freeman said "Black history is American history, they're completely intertwined"

Except Morgan Freeman is actually talking about history. What they’re peddling is communism. The moment Mao took power in China he used black celebrities and intellectuals to harbor division against whites.

So basically black people were mad that they were slaves once and now need black history month, black comedy shows and isles in bookstores manly for black based books. To be fair though, people of all races were once treated badly at some point or another. In my opinion I don’t understand why they need all that black stuff but all I know is if we want that for ourselves, we’re considered racist. Another thing is they have a slur only black people can say but we don’t have a slur that only white people can say. It’s an odd and controversial topic, I’m sure this didn’t help lol. Have a nice day :)

Black history isnt actual history. It's not the actual things, which actually happened. We already had a word for that... History.

This is so ignorant. It’s obviously all history. Literally every other time of year is centered around the pov of euro-centric history. Idk what more you could possibly want… 7 continents and you people think Europe and their little cousin built on chattel slavery are the only places where history was made. That’s truly tragic. In the US, a month to try and somewhat highlight a full context of our history is the LEAST that can be done. Cuz even that gets watered down. MLK was a RADICAL, til they killed him. And I’m sure you learned in school he was a peaceful black republican who just wrote a speech and got a bill passed? Lmao so please don’t be that scared. It isn’t your history and historical leaders that have been repeatedly drug in the dirt and hijacked by opportunistic white supremacists. You’ll be alright. Truth is good for everyone.

So my family/ancestors are immigrants from another country, we stepped foot onto this great country of America in the year 1915, became citizens 7 years later, learned the English language, and were racially identified as slave owners and called or referred to as crackers, their whole lives. So my childrens children are asking me, since they know of their past, are they allowed to strike back at those that constantly taunt,tease,torcher,make fun of, picked on, beat up, stolen from, etc? And violently when needed? My childrens children want to defend their families/ancestors honor at all costs, and said to me if war is what they want, then war is what they'll get. No mercy.

So you're saying we need White History Month so we can flesh out our own History? Can Do! Btw merely asking for a White History month is not arguing against Black History month. I heard more people in the Black community diss the need for Black History month.

No, its not. The united states was not built off of slavery and Jim crow laws. There is a better video done by a wonderful woman who proves slavery did not build this country.

Let’s check: Non-Binary: A gender identity someone has. Muslim: a religious belief someone has. Historian: a degree someone has. 2/3 of those are self-elected identities, and the other is a degree. Don’t know if she’s shown it on camera, but I have a Bachelors in history, and she seems pretty educated about the topic, so wouldn’t surprise me.
