They do...and saying Irish Americans don't complain is pretty ignorant. Irish Americans can get pretty zealous when it comes to their peeps. 
But do they have their own months and organizations to help push their people up from "Oppression" that is "Still happening today"?

The reason for black history month is to celebrate achievements of people who went from nothing to making something of themselves despite the discrimination still going on.
They shoul ddamn well focus on the actual achievements then. What about in the past? Blacks didn't do enough in the past? :P
Many whites don't even know a thing about black history even with the month.
Oh, they do. They can recite it like the pledge of allegiance. But that doesn't make all of it true.
We know a lot about white history though...... 
Well - at least White history is filled with Whites. Black history is filled with some pure Negroes - but some 1/2 Negroes - or even 1/4 Negroes. Fredick Douglas, W.E.B. Dubois, Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Alex Hailey, Thurgood Marshall, Bryant Gumbell, Colin Powell, Carl Rowan, Ed Bradley, Doug Wilder, etc.

You speak for all white people when you say they can recite it? I beg to differ. A lot of whites say to me " What's black history month" or they act as if they are not interested in black history at all =/ Also there is no such thing as pure white.

Well that is just for the whites you know. Also no one is saying they should be forced to, it's just that many who want to know don't know or don't recognize it as much. There is a difference between not wanting to know and not knowing because of ignorance on the subject. 
They can go research it - correct? They can read a book about it if they want. I read a huge-ass book on the Roman empire because I WANTED to.
What I mean by there is no such thing as pure white is that everyone is mixed with something. You have no idea what you could be mixed with generations ago..... 
You make many claims but here is your proof? Generations ago - races didn't exist. But of your 46 chromosomes - if all of them came in a mutation inside of the White race (Or are universal to all races) then you are of the White race. And you don't have to be "100% White" to be White. And everyone is inbred if you look at it that way.
If it just so happens that you are good, though you can't say that everyone in white history was pure white.
There's a difference between being "Pure" and 1/2 or 3/4...
Besides all races are related as far as the human race due to evolution and such. 
And humans are related to chimpanzees. We need a chimpanzee history month. 
You said pure white. There is no such thing and it is true that everyone is inbred with one another. That means any one of those people in white history can have black, latin etc. in them. You just don't know their background. So your " At least white history is filled with whites" is wrong. You said "Black history is filled with some pure Negroes - but some 1/2 Negroes - or even 1/4 Negroes." The same can go for white people too. 1/4 Latin etc. So that was a bunch of fail.....

So largely because white people, as a whole, are better off than most minorities in the US, any white individual who complains about any discrimination against them in a whiner? A white individual can be continually pushed, shoved, harrassed, and even mugged by a minority claiming "payment" for ills against their race by white people, but should just shrug it off? Now, I'm not saying that this is necessarily a common occurrence, but it's certainly not unknown. It's pretty amazing to me how many people take it for granted that white individuals can be discriminated against in a very serious way. If there's one thing white people bitch about, it's how racism by whites against minorities is emphasized to such an extent that racism by minorities against whites is often overlooked. And to be quite honest, this is a valid reason to get pretty miffed over. 
It's just like how school shootings, and death of students happen a lot, but it's when it happens to white people that it makes the news.
