Gay pride is evil too then right?Celebration of what you are is evil, especially when it's a fictional snowflake race.

Birthday parties are a veiled and dishonest reminder of human mortality. Pastels are inappropriate for such a morbid celebration, call me when black, white and skulls are in. Or rainbows, which are deific for "I am not going to kill you like that".You must be great at Birthday Parties.

I’d say it’s fantastic.this is a legendarily awful thread

Meh, that's been mythologized into a thing beyond it's historical impact because the Romans stole Greek culture for their own and the Renaissance copy-pasted it because it was cooler than medieval culture and it gave a good historical tale and story of the brave European/western Culture-group battling against the (from their perspective)My first thought would be the Greeks defeating the Persians and permitting the rise of Democracy and the development of Western Culture.
I just like to debate history. I’d debate black history too, but all I know about black history is where it intersects white history, or ‘Why Were Belgian Kings Such Dicks?’ etc.Meh, that's been mythologized into a thing beyond it's historical impact because the Romans stole Greek culture for their own and the Renaissance copy-pasted it because it was cooler than medieval culture and it gave a good historical tale and story of the brave European/western Culture-group battling against the (from their perspective)"Ottomaner, Persians"! Greek culture was as far-removed from Western as any other group in the Med at the time, or as the Persians were for that matter (a case could be made modern cultural inclinations have more similarity to Persian than Athenian or Spartan, actually, since the West in general has migrated back to a more localized and distributed power with codes of citizenship and conduct based more around civic values than the 'democracy' of Athens or the warrior-slave-duty society in Sparta).
If anything, more credit for the development of 'Western Culture' in that vein lies not with Athens or Sparta or 'Greece' of the Classical Period (though it would influence things), but with the subsequent Macedonian kingdom which conquered them, and the brief but influential synthesis-Empire that Alexander forged in the process of 'conquering' Persia and others and creating the distinct Hellenistic culture that would be iterated on by all the Diadochi and successor-states (Rome and Parthia--followed by the Sasanians--most notably).
But, then, that gets one into argument over how applicable it is to the thread since the status of Middle-Easterners as the colloquial 'white' is debated since 'white' is such a fungible description over time and doesn't exist in an identifiable and particular way over time the way, say, 'Greek' or even'European' or such does.
Which, in that respect, I don't know why you'd relegate your history to a month or to a blatantly biased subset. Human history is broad and complex, and sees interplay, interaction, and iteration between groups as one of its largest drivers. Identitarian branding makes little sense from a historical perspective precisely because of ethnic adoption of foreign cultural values (or extension of them onto other ethnicities). There are better ways of focusing historical investigation and learning.
10/10 to the thread-maker for trolling eye-rollingness, though. Because that's something history needs more of. Not like too many people already don't understand enough of it, might as well add blatant identitarian politics into the mix.
Literally impossible for Whites to have invented it, because that was what set up the conditions for Whites to be invented. YOUR FICTIONAL ETHNICITY IS NOT AN OUROBOROSAmerica.
So, getting back to the supposed purpose if this thread. What would the biggest early contribution be?
iT really does, and the postmodernism thing too. I desperately need dots to explain what shitting on tropes as a substitute for cleverness has to do with the tropiest political movements of the 20th century, and what minority obsessed right-brains have to do with populist left-brains.EDIT: The whole Marxism advocacy group seems to be a boogey man.
That would be an immense insult if white people were real.Thread tax: ROME that is all.
There's little unifying white culture in America though. Europe kinda has Europeanism, but America rejects that, and replaces it with a bunch of cultures, while American culture as a whole is race-independent as it's heavily individualistic. In its place are a number of cultures that are frequently closer to non-white cultures than other white cultures (the multi-nation hypothesis of America goes into this more). For example, poor white rednecks and poor rural black people have a lot more in common than do poor white rednecks and the white liberal elite. This ends up with a significant lack of shared identity on long racial lines in white America. Few white americans, if asked what they identify as, will say white.Why isn’t white history month a thing then? Shouldn’t that also be commercialized and shouldn’t we have big “it’s okay to be white” banners plastered on McDonalds?
