To say give us what they have to make it equal sounds like you might have some deep issues you have not brought up to the surface yet. Believe me when I say this, I felt just like you at one time and I guess life experiences and meeting different people, my views have been broadened.
And for me, Im happy to NOT feel like someone has more rights than me or something isn't fair. I guess Im getting old lol |
There are black Irish people who i am sure celebrate their holiday, Valentines,etc....are celebrated by most ethinic groups here. I think having your own month as a holiday or your own school just for skin color is still keeping a division among us.......no matter what race it is.
