I don't think we need an anything "_____________" history month.
No black history month, no LGBT history month, no Hispanic history month.
All of it seeks to divide us.
And I am VERY pro-White. As many know here I am very far-right leaning.
Do away with all these "history months" and put back up all the Confederate monuments that were torn down. And while we're at it tear down every street sign and monument to the womanizer MLK.
You had a good point until you said this.
The Confederacy was a short time period that's far from a Patriotic/pro-American movement and it was and still is very divisive to a lot of Americans. Why keep Confederate monuments if all it's going to do is continue to divide people?
Let me flip it around. Should Mexican monuments and Aztlan imagery be permitted in parts of the Southwest because of the Mexican Cession?
After all, there's been SOME Mexican Americans who feel bad about losing the Mexican American war just like there's SOME Southerners who feel bad about losing the Civil War.
Never understood why certain Conservatives would rally around clinging to the Confederacy while condemning Identify politics, not realizing the irony.

#1 I don't support slavery like 99.99999% of all humans.
#2 the Confederacy is part of OUR history, good or bad.
#3 the people that are tearing the confederacy to shreds are Marxists (Marxism killed 100 million and still kills to this day).
#4 erasing our white history is a form of cultural genocide.
The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.
So...the Confederacy is MY history - it's white history. And all of it - good and bad - deserve to stand.

Oh stop with the hysterics. There's a major difference between remembering history and celebrating certain elements of history. Pulling down some Confederate statues is not "erasing our white history," it's simply opting not to celebrate the people leading the charge to secede and preserve slavery. When they stop teaching about the Confederacy in schools, writing about it in books, exhibiting it in museums, and making movies and shows about it, etc. then we can talk about cultural genocide/erasing history.
What would "White History Month" look like? What would it celebrate?
White History Month would celebrate the unique contributions of white people (or, if you prefer, European-Americans) to American culture and history. A partial list would include:
Golf
Croquet
Vanilla ice cream
Plaid clothing
Easy-listening music
Dumb-blonde jokes
Wonder bread
Lack of basketball prowess
Nostalgia for the 1950s
Every day is White History Day, especially white heterosexual male history day.
Genocide of native populations
Slavery
Imperialism and coloniaism
Patriarchal oppression of women
Oppression of poc and other minorities
Imposition of white western cultural values on minorities
Creating inherently unequal and oppressive government, legal, and economic institutions
Destroying the environment for economic gain.
The list goes on.
This is actually why we could use a White History Month, to promote the accomplishments of white people and their contributions to America. Believe it or not, we've actually managed to do some good things, despite this list of yours.

My list didn't go over too well. It meant to show what's now being spread as heterosexual white male history. Plenty bad, not much good.
