February is Black History Month, which serves to make sure the members of the African diaspora are recognized and celebrated in a society where too often they have been marginalized. Apparently, this concept is tough to comprehend for the MAGA contingent, thus the asinine “White History Month” is trending on Twitter.
Black History Month is about the shared experience of all Black Americans whose lives have shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America.

Pick up a history book or turn on your vintage TV shows and movies and it becomes quite evident that just about every day is White History Month. And while we’re on the topic, BHM wasn’t officially recognized until 1976 by President Gerald Ford. That was not that long ago.
But since February is BHM (the shortest month of the year, no less), all the slow-witted folk scared that their grip on power, and the admonishment of white supremacy, is getting shaky as their reading comprehension levels, are now quite butt-hurt.
This is evident since the people (or bots) pushing the trending topic tend to be far-right wingnuts or irredeemable trolls. There is also plenty of education, and slander, going on in the trend, too.
White History Month curriculum would need to cover Native American Genocide, Slavery, The Great Compromise, Sharecropping, Segregation, The GI Bill, Red Lining, to understand that your racism is generational and taught to you by public education funded by taxes.

1. Learn something.
White History Month is trending likely because racists are upset there's a Black History Month and not a white history month.
Here's a great explanation, written by a white person, on why Black Pride is powerful, but 'white pride' is good old fashioned racism.#BlackHistoryMonth pic.twitter.com/aD8KWq8yIV

If you wonder why there's no White History Month, pick up an American history textbook and check the color of most of the people they're writing about. EVERY month is White History Month in this country.

So ridiculous to see these White supremacists trend "White History Month" on Twitter.
EVERY month is White History Month, always has been — I remember having it rammed in my brain when I was in school, nothing has changed.
Idiots.

Y’all want a White History Month? Let’s make it January to commemorate the 99.9% white radicalized MAGAs who tried to stop the certification of President Biden on January 6, 2021 because Trump couldn’t accept a loss. *Daniel Caldwell cried when sentenced. #NeverForgetJanuary6th pic.twitter.com/DnicPnvPgM

The fools tweeting that they want a White History Month don't seem to realize we've had White History Centuries for 227 years.

Same people yelling about a White History month are the exact same people who don't want ALL white history taught because it's 'too divisive'
