It's not and shouldn't be a big deal.
That's the point. If this country is to ever become truly united, we need
to stop with all the hand holding, finger pointing and separation.
Declaring a month for blacks is just another way
to keep us as a whole people, divided.
I guess I prefer to look at the bigger picture
and to the future rather than dwell too long (like over 100 years too long)on
the past. The past helps us to make decisions for the future and at times it
defines who and what we are.
However, when you give it too much power, it
will destroy you.
Constantly living a life where you want a group
of people to be beholden to you, is not healthy. It is just another way to
keep the racial war alive in this country. There is not a single slave alive
today. Nor a single white slave owner. Yet we are constantly reminded of what
we as whites, owe blacks. Why is it ok for reverse discrimination just because
it happened to someone else? Why should whites just suck up whatever racial
slurs we are given, or whatever discriminatory actions are made against us,
simply because "well blacks had to deal with it for years"? What is this type
of mentality teaching our children and future generations?
So, if I was an overweight kid that grew up
being taunted mercilessly for being a fat kid; then it would be ok if I turned
around and did the same thing to a new generation of fat kids?
How is that any better? What is that
accomplishing other than a vicious circle of hatred?
Repeatedly splitting this country by race and
racial issues is only fueling a potential future war within our borders, once
again. Unless we all put a stop to it.
You may not think blacks having their own
television stations, magazines and month long celebrations is fueling anything
but their pride in their heritage. But I can tell you, you are sadly
mistaken.
