    White history month(s) are the other 11 months of the year which are not Black History Month. For all practical purposes, history as taught in schools is essentially White Eurocentric history for obvious reasons. I’m not threatened by schools and media inserting a modicum of Black or other ethnic-centric history if done with common sense and avoids the usual hyperbole and fringe political agendas like reparations etc.

    This is the current sad state of the republican party.
    Let’s make fun of Black History Month because there is no white history month.

    Jackk,

    Who was making fun of black history month?

    This is the sad state of the democrat party always virtue signaling and trying to paint republicans as evil (republicans want to cut Medicare? Was there any proof of that?)

    As a practical matter, we have too many “months” to recognize specific demographics, causes, etc. Its become a bit of a joke just like the last administration had a monthly “Infrastructure Week” to promote legislation they were never able to enact. There are more groups seeking special recognition than there are months in the years.

    it makes sense to have 12 months by shvatim, but why is BHM the shortest? Let’s have 32 days in February

    Gadol, perhaps that has less to do witu bias and more to do with the cumulative accomplishments, innovations, social movements, and historical events with worldwide repercussions of one population versus another…

    “Perhaps that has less to do with bias and more to do with the cumulative accomplishments, innovations, social movements, and historical events with worldwide repercussions of ONE population versus another…”
    Do you mean chassidish or Litvish?? If the former, do we have a special month for each Chassidus? I’d be intrigued as to how Satmar will celebrate Tzionist History month or how Misnagdim Appreciation Day will be celebrated at 770.
