Because people don't know their history, and they won't integrate it into educational curricula. Look at all the people in CE who don't know the what or why of Stonewall. And as for the 'unnecessary division' I will never be okay kowtowing to ignorance.

Yeah, often those with the power and authority to write the curricula mostly use it to repeat the messages that support the status quo. When that status quo is a whitewashed, heterowashed version of history, as it often is, they fail as educators. Everyone loses.

It isn't. They're trying their damnedest to not do that, at least outside of, like, Alabama. There's probably still quite a bit of adjusted representation to work through, though. How long did it take for Colombus and Thanksgiving being a sham to become common knowledge?

I disagree with the Straight Pride month thing but why is black and white history separated? As a straight male who prefers Black Women, and is in a on again off again relationship with a Black Woman. Why is it? Black and White History are one in the same, right? Cant have Black history without White Slave Owners and White People who helped on the underground railroads. Cant have White History without Indians and Black People from other countries so. I never understood why they was separated

Explicitly, no. In practice, absolutely.

Justifying the decisions of the past is how you get organizations like the Daughters of the Confederacy approving history textbooks for use in schools. For the record and why it matters, they use their editorial influence to teach "Southern Lost Cause" ideology to children and teens who have no way of knowing better. And I'm not just claiming this happens in public education, though it does. It also goes down in a distressing number of private institutions.

You want to learn about the history of abortion access in America, the minutiae of the Women's Suffrage movement, the US government's handling of the AIDS crisis, or learn about historical personas like James Baldwin, George Washington, Marsha P. Johnson or Sylvia Riviera, you will not learn them in pre-collegiate classrooms or how these things have shaped modern politics because they are often not part of the narrative the American mainstream imagines for itself.

If there was a "White History Month," it would just be about how white people have historically been dicks. "Here's what you people did to the indigenous people of this nation." I don't need Guilt Month. If I want somebody to tell me I'm the devil and that I'm responsible for the evils of the past, there's Twitter and tumblr for that.

And these people who keep complaining need to realize that you don't have to empower those who already have power. You don't need "Pride" if you're already in a socially advantageous position. It's like asking for tax cuts for the ric... oh, wait. They vote for that.

For a bit of a sense of scale, you can fit all planets in our star system in the space between the Earth and the Moon, at least during the further end of the Moon's circuit. There's even enough room for Pluto.

TC, you want the history of real whites, Scandinavians, correct? The vikings made attempts to expand into Europe and the Americas but gave that up along with their pagan religions. They left behind no books but a great work of theirs that can be seen today is the Ikea franchise. They invented zippers, Lego, handball, and paper milk cartons. A Scandinavian created dynamite, albeit by accident because he was trying to do something else. Now we have white history. Enjoy!

And I say this because I also hear complaints from Irish descendants. They always compare our experiences and mistreatment in the country so why is there a problem with the African/Black Americans celebrating our cultures and pioneers when they have an opportunity to do the same?

@coinstarcad I have no idea who your main account is, but that is a good example of someone learning history and sharing it. I have no problem with that. Celebrate your people and accomplishments, I'll continue to do the same.

That's pure insanity. Now imaging the distance to the sun from Earth... 1300...
