The people I most admire, of what ever race more than likely wouldn't approve of their names being used to perpetuate racism. In fact, most people don't feel any need to celebrate something that's pretty much celebrated everyday in some way or another. When ever a person brings up the question as to why we don't have a White History Day, the first thing I ask them is, "what's a white person." ? The next thing I would ask them, if they ever answered that question---no one has yet---is whom do they think should be set aside and honored on that day ?
Because, like I already mentioned, most people I admire, would have nothing to do with such a obviously racist holiday. And let's not pretend we don't understand why it's racist. It's racist because it's sets aside time to exclude every other race except white. Some think that's what Black History Month does, but I beg to differ. Black History Month, is not a to exclude any one. In fact, the opposite is true. It's a wholly inclusive day, where everyone is invited to honor an integral component of history. Black History is not isolated from the history of everyone else, it's a part of it. White played a crucial role, for instance, in the underground rail-road, civil rights, and have lived along side blacks in harmony and peace, as well as in times of discord, and violence. Black History, then, is simply a time for all of us to stop and look at how far we have come as a people.
There's a reason why I can't find any positive mentioned of a " White History Day". All I find are picture of Hitler, the KKK, and other racist groups. Because, no matter how one wants to be in denial about it, what you are really doing is making a mockery of the advancement we all have made, when you demand a celebration of Whites. Quite frankly, I have to wonder about the continued mental health of a person that does that. They must know that theirs is an inherently divisive
position. What, do they use the one-rule drop or what to decided who to honor ?
If a person has one-drop of any other blood than white, are they discriminated against ? I don't get it.

pssssst onoudn,Go to Matchdoctor,they have a forum that has the threads that do positively mention "White History Month.One is titled Happy white History month ...note where it states "happy'.
That would be a positive emotion. 
The other is titled...When is WHITE history month? That would be a positve question.
The last is titled...American History Month Since there are white people that are positvely Americans,I'm postive they would be included in that discussion.
A white person is one whose skin complexion is no other color than white.
On White History Day anyone that knows October 4,1955 is the day I was born and since I'm considered to be one of those "white" people type units they are more then welcome to honor me on October 4th.
As far as the "one drop rule" and discrimination?
Try to look at it scientifically because there isnt discrimination in science.
All people no matter the color are the same.We all have white blood cells and red blood cells.Nobody has black blood cells.
Hope that answers your questions.

Hogwash. You are brainwashed by the constant droning of propaganda from the left and the media they control.
What is inherently divisive is the constant pounding into peoples' heads, that white people are evil and have something to feel guilty about and that people of other races are the victims of white peoples' evilness and greed.
This notion is promoted by seriously evil people who use it as a political battering ram to promote their divisive anti-American and corrupt political agendas. They use the media to sell this crap to the public and count on brainwashed zombies like you to keep electing and supporting them. And they use their corrupt lawmaking and policy making powers to further divide the nation for their own personal political and monetary gains.
Get over it.
The only truly non racist society is one who treats EVERYONE as an INDIVIDUAL and neither rewards nor punishes anyone on the basis of their race.
Having a "White History Month" doesn't make a mockery of anyone's advancement, it makes a mockery of the notion that white people are evil and black people are victims. It's a justifiably acute backlash to decades of harassment of, and discrimination against, innocent white people.
You don't advance the acceptance of one innocent group of people by discriminating against another. And it's about time we put an end to that.

Jankia you make some valid points there. I should have been more specific in my original post, and said that it's hard to find any positive mention of "white history month"....I'm not sure I agree with your definition of what a white person is. But, at least you made an attempt to explain it to me. Under your definition though, Michael Jackson would be white, as well as one of my cousins who is of very light complexion. Also, I'll tell you something, on my sisters birth certificate she is described as Caucasian. Interesting story why.

O has constantly asked, "Define a white person".
I'm going to ask, "Define a black person".

If he can't define a black person, how does he expect someone to define a white person.
We are people.....nuff said.

I've written about this before.
The crux of the issue is this.
If the currently promoted scientific version of the origins of modern man are correct, then we are all descendents of Africans. Therefore, unless you can tell me there is a limit on the number of generations back that count toward the definition of what constitutes being an "African-American," then in fact we are ALL African-Americans.
So when are we going to finally drop the BS, start treating people as individuals instead of as some part of a specially anointed group and drop this artificial distinction in social and public policy and in law.
There is no definition of what makes someone white and someone black. There is no test you can take in a lab to determine it. It's an arbitrary and stupid distinction that has more to do with politics than anything else.

I agree Diamond, nice post. I guess the reason why they have things like black history month is so that we can all remember the history, and strive to do better. I don't agree that we should just ignore history. I think we should learn from it. As far as what makes up one race from another, though, I agree, it's all a bunch of nonsense.

...Total BS!
...Obviously, you have never participated in a Black History Month discussion at the collegiate level; even at a High School level today. Do your paper on George Washington and see how quickly you flunk the class.
...Your opinion now, after profusely whining to the Mods here about a White History Month, may have been derived from a taste of how whites feel about having only blacks in Black History Month shoved down their throats for mandatory learning,
...But the facts stand, in that Black History Month, Black Awards Night, Black Caucus, Black Panthers, Black Presidential Award, Black anything is a racist, bigoted entity created only for and by blacks... period.
...Thus, your post is totally illiterate.
PS: It is Month, not Day...
