I don't feel a inkling of guilt. I feel proud of my race,culture and heritage.

Then have a month for EVERY race...lets see,white,black,hispanic,jewish,asian...and then you can even break them down into certain kinds of white,black or asian....be a real blast...that way the kids would never learn what they actually need to know to function in society.

Gosh. We have an Italian Heritage Festival back in my hometown - guess I should be boycotting that one as well.

Oh and a Greek festival too . . . goodness I can't remember them all.

I don't feel that attending those takes away from my heritage at all; though I'm not Greek or Italian.

Go figure.

Actually, that's a good idea. In fact, I don't think enough history is taught because we sure seem to keep repeating a lot of the same mistakes of the past.

Most people take pride in their accomplishments, but I guess when someone has none they default to things like race and ethnicity.

I take pride in everything I do well and in my race and culture and where I come from.

The 1960s called to say that you are needed back in your proper decade for a "rally".

I do think its wrong to have the obama party today. This is mlk day not obama day. If obama was white or a conservative black there would be a huge uproar over having it today.

I think he choose today to upstage mlk who was conservative in many of his beliefs. MLK deserves to be the only one reconized today, not sharing or overstaged by obama who could have choosen anyday to do it.

Why not tomorrow? Or yesturday?
