This dude right here is just asking for it.
Look, white people have been making bad jokes about “White History Month,” or a lack thereof, since February was named Black History Month back in 1976, but that shit is never happening. At least not anytime soon. Maybe in like 1,000 years when the sun has become too hot for white people to survive, and there are like 62 really naturally tan white people left, but not anytime soon.
The proprietor of Jimbo’s Deli (of course this shit happens at a dude named Jimbo’s deli) in Flemington, New Jersey (of course this shit happens in New Jersey) is refusing to let the dream of white history month die, though. In fact, he’s actively trying to make the dream a reality.
He recently hung the sign pictured above in the front window of his establishment, imploring white people to celebrate their heritage in March as “White History Month.” Apparently, he originally had the “t” in “White” crossed toward the top so that it resembled an actual cross, like a KKK cross, before bitching out and bolding the shit out of the “t” to make it capitalized and top-heavy. Obviously, non-white people are pissed.
“No matter what you are — Muslim, Jewish, black, white, gay, straight — you should be proud of what you are,” said Jimbo. “I shouldn’t have to feel bad about being white.”
If you feel bad about being white, you are a moron. Rather than get into why, I’ll just let Louis CK explain.
Jimbo needs to chill, period. As a white man, I’ve got enough on my hate plate without him going out and giving the world even more reason to dislike me because of my pale skin. It’s hard enough not being allowed to say most of the words in Kanye’s new song. “All Day” is a banger, and I have to skip half the damn lyrics when I’m rapping along. Shit is upsetting.
Take down the sign, Jimbo. Nothing good will come of this. .

Why can’t he just enjoy National Reading Month like the rest of us.
11 years ago at 3:56 pmOf course black history month and national reading month are different months
11 years ago at 4:56 pmW R Bolen you’re a pussy
11 years ago at 3:57 pmStrong take.
11 years ago at 4:03 pmIt’s called freedom of speech for a reason, W R Bolden. Even if you consider his opinion moronic.
11 years ago at 5:02 pmYou are a disgrace, I bet you also bought into the hopey changey bullshit of 2008, Let this man Keep his sign up, and you better applaud him for saying what you were thinking, just because you’re much to big of a pussy to say it doesn’t mean you have to join in on the liberal hate parade and bash him for it.
11 years ago at 10:31 pmMr. Bolen I blame the racist comments on you. Coming from an “Uncle Tom” I could care less what white people celebrate or cherish as long as it doesn’t end with me being lynched or put back into slavery. I really don’t care for these types of articles, and believe you tfm publishers only write about them to prove how progressive you are. So please just stop.
11 years ago at 11:12 pmChop your nuts off and send them to the NAACP in a dog shit bag. What a wuss, you know how blatantly hypocritical it is that there is a black history month and no one says a word but an uproar when one random freedom loving white sole proprietor is a proponent for white history month and you can’t expose it because you want to suck up to a bunch of benighted fools. White people crush every other race save for asians in every single significant statistical category and give back to society in every walk off life and all we do is get pissed on because of wimps like you who can’t stick up for what’s right from wrong. You fucked up big, stop rolling over to the bigoted race dividing media and start thinking for yourself.
11 years ago at 4:20 amI imagine he is hoping The Huffington Post will run a pice titles: WR Bolen from TFM gets it!
WR Bolen is the kind of guy who:
11 years ago at 11:01 pmAbove comment sounds like I’m supporting Bolen. I’m not. He’s pandering to HuffPo and Jezabel.

11 years ago at 2:42 amOh, your account was created this morning? Someone get this man a medal for his bravery trolling a Frat website.
11 years ago at 7:34 amI actually had to make an account just to respond to you dumb motherfuckers. White privilege is a real thing you fucking idiots. Racism in the 21st century is a real thing. Look at any fucking American social/economic institution – educational system, job market, etc. – and you’ll find widespread, quantifiable systemic racism. To say otherwise isn’t just ignorance, it’s fucking denial of reality. There have been a number of studies and investigative pieces dedicated to institutional racism in America. It’s there. Do some fucking research – it really wouldn’t hurt you fucking idiots to do some reading other than texts from some fucking ugly whore you’re banging and this site. You all love to posture here on the internet as if you’re some 6’4 college ball player when the majority of you commenting here are probably 5’6 GDI losers that couldn’t pledge into a respected frat if there was a gun to your head. Get the fuck out of here – the world would be a better place without you. Black history month exists because literally 50 years ago blacks were still being physically and psychologically tortured just for being black – if you look at American history since the beginning of the 20th century (that’s the year 1900 for those of you that don’t know how the century system works, which probably comprises most of you fucking idiots), more of it includes blacks being pretty much ubiquitously discriminated against than doesn’t, and the part that ‘doesn’t’ includes gigantic gaps in wealth due to institutional discrimination, segregated cities, rampant occupational discrimination (a convicted and released white felon is statistically more likely to be hired for a job than an educated black man with a clean record), and imprisonment disparities that lead the planet, all of course after that earlier century of Jim Crow law and inequality in every walk of life. That’s why there is a black history month, because the legacy of racism, and the black-cultural legacy of internalizing that racism (which leads black children to be more likely to consider a white doll ‘better’ than a black doll), is not yet gone. It’s important to recognize black achievement, especially in those who have overcome the massive hindrances they’ve faced. Whites have never been socially, culturally, economically challenged in some sort of widespread way, they’ve never been enslaved, they’ve never had to overcome anything, really – there isn’t any need to recognize white achievement because everything in society and in social institutions is geared to allow for that achievement. Society naturally enables white achievement. Society actively discourages black achievement. That’s why we have black history month.
11 years ago at 1:50 amAmerica is racist compared to what? Compared to whom? Other countries? Here we have yet another perpetually repenting white apologist. Thank you for demonstrating how the smallest minds in America think in one long filibuster of a useless response. You asked for research. Here it is, America along with the UK, Australia, Canada is among the least racist countries on the planet:

Now run and catch your train to Utopia where no racism exists whatsoever among demographics of 320 million people. The train is departing soon.
Are you fucking stupid? Do you even read the methodology of the bullshit you cite? They asked a few people in each country if they’d like to ‘live next to a person of a different race’ or not. That’s all. That doesn’t have anything to do with the presence of institutional inequities and microaggressive discriminatiosn that not only blacks, but all minorities, face on a daily basis. It’s not ‘America is racist compared to what’ you idiot, and I never called ‘America’ racist – the country is not racist, that’s just not how anything works. The only small mind here is yours.

Why don’t you take a look through a few of these documents – maybe you’ll learn that the lies you’ve been hearing about ‘black on black violence’ and ‘equality for all’ really are just that, nothing but lies. It’s not white apologism – it’s acknowledgment of a problem. It’s called reality you fucking moron why don’t you join it.
11 years ago at 5:46 amAlready destroying that pussy Ihavefirmnipples, I like this new guy.
11 years ago at 8:26 amWhos less racist than America? You still haven’t answered the question because you can’t. There’s nothing easier then citing a flaw in a select few individuals in a large society. Now show something that proves America is more discriminatory and racist than other countries or take your baseless assertion and leave with that peasant lou sanus.
11 years ago at 12:35 pmThat’s not a fair comparison you ignorant ass dick, America is by far one of, if not the MOST racially diverse country in the whole world. So you asking what countries are less “racist” is a stupid thing to do. It’s been proven countless times the more diverse a country is, the more racism there is, look at South Africa for example. So fuck you you ignorant and self righteous retard, and next time, make sure you have a coherent thought before turning it into a comment.
11 years ago at 12:50 pmLess cursing and ad hominem insults, more substance, child. You still can’t refute that America is among the least racist countries in the world, so there are much more important issues to be discussed.
11 years ago at 1:07 pmWhy? Because an inaccurate poll says so? Maybe instead of criticizing about substance, you should check yours. https://www.dosomething.org/facts/11-facts-about-racial-discrimination here’s a poll that says America is racist. Do I believe every word of it? Absolutely not, so try not to be so gullible just because you read one study done by people almost as incompetent as you.
11 years ago at 1:28 pmKeep evading my question. America is racist compared to whom? To what country? And that study is a joke of course police target blacks more than whites they commit murder at 8x the rate as Whites. You’re holding America to a standard that doesn’t exist on Earth.
11 years ago at 3:27 pmSo the Ferguson Police’s emails referring to blacks as chimps aren’t relevant at all, right? What planet do you live on?
11 years ago at 5:16 pmWhat does that have to do with officer D Wilson targeting Brown because he was black? That entire story was a race dividing farce and all ballistics evidence and autopsy reports were in perfect accordance with Wilsons account of the event. But of course facts don’t matter when myths have already taken route.
11 years ago at 6:02 pmEurope is far more racist than the US. We don’t have to have armed guards protecting areas of minorities like they do in Europe.
11 years ago at 6:00 pmFuck you bolen white power till I die
11 years ago at 4:02 pmBeing white is great lol
11 years ago at 4:03 pmBeing a tall dark and handsome black man isn’t bad either.
11 years ago at 4:39 pmOwning one isn’t bad either
11 years ago at 4:42 pmNope not bad at all. White people are useless in the sun.
11 years ago at 4:58 pmNot with a whip in their hands
11 years ago at 6:07 pmwell that escalated quickly..
11 years ago at 7:54 amFirst slaveowner in the US was black.. Anthony Johnson, look him up.

11 years ago at 2:49 amI like that we still celebrate whites in the month of February. (President’s day)
11 years ago at 4:06 pmSo you are saying that we should not celebrate the birth of the founder of America and our first president because someone arbitrarily decided that February was black history month, 175 years after he died.
11 years ago at 11:46 pmRead that wrong, shit.
11 years ago at 11:48 pmYou can’t fit all of white history into a single month. That’s why I just celebrate all year long.
11 years ago at 4:09 pmI believe they just call white history, ‘history.’
11 years ago at 4:10 pmAnd black history can be summarized in a 30 for 30 episode
11 years ago at 4:52 pmSIEG HEIL!! #WhitePride
11 years ago at 7:05 pmWell come on now let’s not be silly
11 years ago at 8:33 pmI thought we shot you all in the 40’s.
11 years ago at 11:53 pmI thought white history month was just the other eleven
11 years ago at 4:11 pmHey Bacon, when’s Transparent History Month? Your people need a holiday.
