Happy White History Year!

Heh.

WASHINGTON, DC—With Black History Month over, U.S. citizens are putting aside thoughts of Harriet Tubman and George Washington Carver to resume the traditional observation of White History Year.

White History Year, which runs annually from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, with a 28-day break for Black History Month in February, is dedicated to the recognition of European-Americans’ contributions to American politics and culture.

“Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. are all well and good,” said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist at a banquet celebrating the arrival of White History Year, “but now is the time to reflect on the accomplishments of such whites as Babe Ruth, Alexander Graham Bell, and Presidents Washington through Bush. Let’s use these next 11 months to remember the other American history.”

Don’t you love that funny that gives you pause because it’s still too true?

Tell me something good...

  1. Bill, always wrong, cat killer Frist, is as always, incorrect.
    March is the month when they pretend to give a rip about “women’s history.”
    And, yes, it gives me pause because it is still too true.

    • I assume by “pretend” you mean, “poorly and thinly attempt to veil not giving one rat’s ass…”

  2. Yeah, more than true. This is why I don’t support Black history month. It exists to assuage white guilt. They get to pretend that they care for 28 days of the 365 that make up a year. Quite honestly this nothing but a joke, if we took black history seriously we would celebrate all year long rather than treating it like an additive.

    • I dont support it becouse most of it is made up bullshit . I happen to be white and I have no GUILT.
      I dont feel I owe any one or any body white or BLACK nothing, you wan’t respect , work for it becouse Obama can’t hand it out to you.

  3. Yes, Kevin. Unlike Bill “always wrong about everything” Frist, you are absolutely correct.

  4. Bzzzt! Wrong. All 12 months are “No History Year” in our Republic of Ignorance.

    snark off

    The people who whine about Black History Month (Women’s HM, etc) are the ones who don’t read and don’t want to know ANY history beyond the “We are the greatest” white American exceptionalist history taught to young school children and the military crap featured on the History Channel.
