At work some send out emails celebrating this day and that day and this month and that month, native american month, black leader day, asian hero day, minority this day, ladies day, whatever.

Do you have any idea what would happen if I send out an email for a white American male day?


What about Lincoln and Washington's b-days, XMAS/JC's b-day, Good Friday/JC's death? All of those days are mostly about white and Christian males?

And it could be argued that Veteran's day/Labor day/ Memorial day is mostly about white males as well.

In most American cities, the statues in parks and squares are usually white males. Even in war memorials, you rarely see a black or Lantino portrayed......and nary a woman,and forget Muslim or Jew.

What do you want, stevo, the whole calendar and world to spin around in your image?

I disagree.
