I wonder if people would consider you racist if you celebrated being white.

There is absolutely no context for the existence of a "white history month," other than the clearly racist and spiteful undertones feeding the concept. This viewpoint that "The blacks had tough times back then, now they don't, get over it," is a) false and b) proving you have racial insecurities. Here's a good rule of thumb: if you have to start a sentence with "I'm not a racist, but..." then you're likely a racist. Blacks aren't considered 3/5 of a person anymore, but the issue remains that black people are at a significant disadvantage in this country, not because they are inherently inferior in any way, but because their socioeconomic environment has been one of poverty. These circumstances have been arisen from the unfortunate history of how the white majority and the bureaucracy have treated blacks on the personal and legal levels.
