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?

New Comedy Vlog: This Week in Blackness

You really need to check this out. It’s a new Vlog comedy series by the founder of the The Black Comedy Experiment, Elon James White.

Now, personally, I think the poll that he’s talking about is absolute political scare-mongering bullshit and should be ignored, but he hits on a lot of truths AND he’s funny. That I like. So go check it out, y’all.
