Why are SOME White People offended by "Black History Month"?

Not offended, just put off by the hypocrisy and patronization.

It should be embarrassing, but the fact that it's not, simply validates the condescension and cynicism of the Left. Really, the whole charade is more sad than aggravating.

Some whites believe that they have to approve of whatever activities that some blacks, Asians, and Latinos are into so it doesn't have the potential to ruin a Euro-centric ideal United States.

Some whites are offended by Black History Month for many different reasons. Black History Month reminds black people how and why their ancestors were brought to the US, and how long it took to be somewhat accepted by the mainstream, despite many contributions to the arts, sciences, military, philosophy, sports, and other areas. Some whites do not want their white children being taught Black History Month because they fear their children feeling guilt and rejecting their white European ancestry like some guilty white liberals feel. Other whites believe that Black History Month is an apparatus by black militants to indoctrinate black children to revolt against white society and ruin America. And some whites believe the race problem will go away if it is not talked about. Many of these whites do not realize the impact of not knowing or knowing accurate history if you are a black person.

I personally do not celebrate Black History Month, because I do my own private research on it daily along with Asian, Latino, European, and other histories too.

I wish I knew. Seems to me all they do is repeat the same thing every year and sugar coat things anyway. Plus most of the History we learn about otherwise and even during this month is already a sea of W H I T E. I really cannot grasp the concept of a White History Month. They know they don't want it for any other reason than to oppose Black History Month lmao. Oh well they can stay pressed.

Why are some black people offended by the idea of a white history month?

Both sides have good points. On one side, it's good to educate people about smaller groups, so a gay history month would be good as well as a black history month, maybe even a asian history month, etc, which may perhaps promote tolerance.

However, on the other side, they think American History should be just that, American History, not breaking it down by people's differences, which may seem divisive and favoritism which may only promote separatism and bigotry.

Why should black history be limited to 1 month? What about Indian history? Mexican history? Asian history? If you don't see this point then I'm not sure you want to.

As an african american male....I don't understand it, but it could be because they're racist against african americans-(or black people in general). I'm not crazy about it myself, but I do feel that it's still important. Caucasian/european americans have numerous holidays....George Washington Day, Abraham Lincoln Day, Christopher Columbus Day, St. Patrick's Day, and many others. The only holiday that pops in my mind that celebrates a african american legend is Martin Luther King Jr. Day....even though that holiday celebrates all americans and people rising above racism. I agreed with what Morgan Freeman stated in a interview, "Black American History-(or Black History Month) is American History." Any historical event that had changed american culture and this country in the past is something that we all as americans shoud value. Whether it has to do with black americans, white americans, native americans, asian americans, hispanic americans, women, men, presidential, or anything of that nature....that is very important to remember how progressive we've all come....hopefully to not allow our past mistakes and shortcomings repeat our future. :)

Because they are hypocrites; these SAME whites, though, mysteriously enough support race-based hate books like bell curve though, and jim crow segregation laws b4 the Black people fought them w/ protests and boycotts. Just pay attention, and you'll see that I'm right.

I think its best if we just have a history month. You know a month dedicated to learning what goods and evils we have done in the past so we can learn from our mistakes.

Because it is Racist.

Black History Month? A History Month Just For Blacks?

Why not have drinking fountains just for blacks to go with it?

Why not have American History Month instead of black history month? Children can learn about the guy who invented peanut butter and the guy that cured polio in the same month.

because most white people used to hate blacks before and blacks today still feel the pain there ancestors used have. and some white people still do jokes against blacks and they do it as a jk but the blacks take it harshly i guess.
