There is no difference between a "Solstice Festival" sponsored by a government, and a Cinco de Mayo festival sponsored by a government. What "rights" is anyone claiming at a Cinco de Mayo festival?

I have yet to hear of "Black Pride Month".

You wanna clue me in on something new here?

There is also Hispanic History Month, and Asian History Month. So you want to care tell us why you chose NOT to mention them in your original post's.
Hummmm

There feel better!

If it makes you feel better have it January BEFORE Black History Month.

That way you can perserve that feeling of superiority that you deeply need to validate yourselves.
This is so correct!

"Shoot, let's eat corned beef and cabbage and drink ourselves under the table and pretend like we're Irish for a day!!!"

Let's stop and ask ourselves how respectful that TRULY sounds?
It's what the Irish themselves are doing on St. Pat's day, so I wouldn't worry

Seriously, what stops lefties from actually having a conversation about something without getting angry. Some of you can't control your anger enough to reply to posts just once, a few of you have to go back and quote me twice just to get all of your hate in. Would you like to discuss this or would you just like to attack like normal?

Again OP, I ask without anger. Please provide documentation of the attacks and riots you say happen(ed). You can't just throw that out as fact without backing it up.

I'm having the same reaction. I'm wondering what the OP believes blacks and gays have done to him that has resulted in so much anger and bitterness.
