The Hallmark of Fatuousness Award

The Black History Month Detractor

Are you honestly a grown man trying to engage me in a debate about Black History Month by saying "Well, why don't we have a White History Month?" Having to watch a 30-second PSA about Rosa Parks or Miles Davis bothers you that much? Look. I appreciate that you've stayed loyal to the Lil' Stinker's Handbook of White Paranoid Delusions (with new forward by Lou Dobbs!) that you've been toting around since you became politically conscious at age 15. But I've got to tell you, this argument is about as fresh as zinging me with "You are the weakest link. Goodbye." The answer is that we don't have a White History Month because we have mandatory elementary, middle, and high school curricula that focus on the history of whites, including some whites' nasty habit of a few hundred years and counting now of erradicating, enslaving, oppressing, or disenfranchising minorities. So no, there's not really a White History Month in this country. It's been more like White History 15th Century to the Present.

Although history will record sir that your argument incited the first Hallmark of Fatuousness award. Better stay on your toes though, or a black person might steal the next one.
