The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed by President George H.W. Bush on July 26, 1990, a landmark law that prohibited discrimination against people with disabilities. In that same year, Boston held the first Disability Pride Day.
Although Disability Pride Day isn't nationally recognized, parades are held in a number of places nationwide, such as Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, San Antonio and more. In 2015, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio declared July Disability Pride Month in celebration of the ADA’s 25th anniversary.
The month is a chance to honor each person's uniqueness as "a natural and beautiful part of human diversity," according to America's Disability Community.

And yet the single group excluded..are whites...and primarily white males.
Now we're given reasons which of course run contrary to good reason and logic but absolutely fit the left's narrative of white is bad...males are bad...and white males...well they're the pits
And we are forced to agree with this nonsense.
Why?
So white men.. stand up be proud... retell our history like every other group is ENCOURAGED to do and push this nonsense back into the depths of some University of California Sociology Dpt from whence it came.
And to get out ahead of the usual suspects...celebrating white history month is NOT white supremacy or KKK-aligned rubbish.
Just cause you chose to scream it from your foamu, spit-speckled lips with a wild look in your eyes...doesnt make it any more right or true than saying the earth is flat.In November, Native American Heritage Month celebrates the long history of Indigenous people and communities. During this month we acknowledge the rich culture, unique traditions, and ongoing contributions of Native Americans.
