Black History Month is right around the corner, and every dumb racist you know is going to be acting like a pissy little baby all February long. When they get all sore and complain about how there’s no “White History Month,” instead of hitting ’em with a brick, hit ’em with some knowledge!

Let’s start with the First Crusade around 1100 AD, because it shows what shitty neighbors white people have been for, like, ever. In the name of the Christian faith, European whites persecuted, robbed, raped and murdered non-Christians at home and abroad. It was so lucrative that white European Christians kept going on crusades for the next few hundred years even though they never managed to achieve their stated aim, which was to seize control of the Levant from the Turks. It didn’t matter, really, because the real goal was to terrorize anyone labeled a nonbeliever or a heretic and take their shit.
