James Baldwin once proposed a white history week, although his pespective on the matter was different.īut did someone else do this specific joke? Not that I could find online before 2003. “What about white history month?” has been a retort from the moment Black History Month was conceived. Obviously, The Onion is riffing on American culture.

“ White History Year Resumes ” is one of those jokes that seems so obvious, I assumed The Onion already did it - or that some other comedic great did it better.

A stamp honoring European-American aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh is unveiled as part of White History Year celebrations.
