Let's take gay pride month for instance, the homosexual community cries non stop about wanting to be seen as normal and to be treated just like everyone else BUT they will attack you if you even mention something about no liking or respecting gay pride month. Black people claim to want equal rights (which they've had for decades) and want to be treated like everyone else but they will riot if you talk bad about black pride month. This could be said for any group that claims to want equal rights or anything like that.

If you want to be treated like you're "normal" or just like "everyone else" then wouldn't it be smart to eliminate specific holidays or months that do nothing but bring attention to the fact that you believe you're special or different from other people?

Because they're hypocritical idiots who really don't want equality.

Either that or I've confused a lot of people with this one.

It's isn't about "equal rights". It's about "special privileges".

Which means that those groups are indeed different right?

Default Why do groups of people who claim to want nothing more than to be seen as "normal" require special holidays?

Special monthes, days, special laws. Don't disagree or you will be labeled a racist or a bigot. I get it, it's not right.

It's not a good way to get people to think your normal and not a good way to fit in and I hope people wake up to this at some point.

Look at the country broadly; why do blacks dress differently, act differently, and have hostile attitudes - but want to be treated the same as everyone else?

How does dressing "gangsta" help one's ability to be accepted into a corporate position with a career path?

Mind you, this is not true of ALL blacks, but for a very large number. I've worked with blacks who had embraced the concept of "white" America, i.e., educate the kids as much as possible, work hard, don't complain about life's unfairness, just do your job - and they were successful and well-paid.

Same for gays; if you are going to dress very differently, you can't complain that you are being treated differently for standing out.

Hate laws are an outrage, and are unconstitutional - but are, along with public employee unions, a means by which the democrats buy votes by pandering when they cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas.

Ask people of Irish descent who celebrate St. Patty's or Italian Americans who celebrate Columbus day, or German Americans who celebrate Octoberfest.
