    Okay, yes... Confederate Memorial Day, Robert E. Lee Day, and Confederate History Month are white-only.

    I'll rephrase to say that generally, it's socially acceptable for every culture and ethnicity to create groups and celebrate their heritage, except whites.

    I get exactly what you are saying and I agree but a white heritage holiday type thing is weird. Not weird because it would be tone deaf to what other races have gone through, but weird because whites come from so many different places and cultures. What would we be celebrating? Just being white? I dunno.

    Happy for your privilege. Nobody is gonna call you a racist, don’t be so terrified of that.

    It's funny how we have a Black History month but not a Nazi History month or a Confederate history month. Anyone notice that? Blatant anti-white bigotry right under our nose

    Creating groups I would say yes. Every time I see a racially exclusive organization I cringe.

    Celebrating heritage? Not so much. We celebrate Anglo holidays, people, and institutions all the time.

    The part where it becomes odious is when that celebration becomes more about exclusion or exception.

    Here is the thing . . .. Black History Month is not black only either
    IT is as much an appreciation of culture as St Patricks Day
    or Thanksgiving

    4th of July is more Whites Only than Juneteenth is Blacks only
    4th of July is a holiday celebrating the freedom of White Heterosexual Males
    cause no other group could vote or had any real rights at that time . . ..

    Contrary to popular belief . . .. . . Morgan Freeman is not God
    LOL

    The 4th of July is also a celebration of the freedoms we all enjoy today.

    On July 4th 1776 - Who all was freed?
    Were black people free?
    Were women?
    Were Native Americans?

    Just saying, gotta start somewhere. Our freedom gets traced back to our battle for independence. You wouldn’t have the beatles or led zeppelin without chuck berry or bill haley.

    Stop making everything about race.

    Yes but I was speaking to his penchant for making all things about race, much like the DEI movement does.

    She actually looks at people
    When she talks not just looking down and reading her cliff notes

    Is that what Jean-Pierre’s problem was? Makes sense because she was terrible up there.
