It’s February, and with that comes Black Historical past Month, after we rejoice Black historic figures and their accomplishments courting again to the 1800s.
However invariably, the opposite aspect complains about why there isn’t a white historical past month. The reply is at all times, “That’s what the opposite 11 months in a calendar yr are devoted to.”
Properly not so quick. Perhaps the Anglo vantage level could also be onto one thing.
White folks have actually earned their month to acknowledge the entire destruction and hate lots of them have perpetrated on others on this nation. We will begin with the nice fable of how Christopher Columbus found America, befriended the Native Individuals and broke bread with them earlier than slaughtering them. We rejoice that as Thanksgiving.
We will maybe rejoice white folks for arising with the thought to go over to Africa and convey again our ancestors to this nation to be owned, crushed, raped and stripped of any sense of pleasure and dignity in essentially the most horrific case of genocide recognized to man.
We may go on and on in celebrating for stealing land, robbing and killing of harmless folks simply because they didn’t seem like them or dared to face up for themselves.
In our newest episode, the Defender Roundtable panel weighs on the thought of getting a White Historical past Month to peel again covers on how America was actually made.
