Each of the "celebrations" I posted are (in their own way) exclusive to one group of people. IMO, it is racist to deny a certain group of people the right to recognize and celebrate the contributions they have made to their Country.
For far too many years, the ONLY American History taught in the Public School System was "white" History. There is no denying this. Personally, I find it racist that people want to deny me the right to recognize and celebrate the contributions my ancestors made to this Country. Be they my German ancestors, Jewish ancestors, Irish ancestors, Cherokee ancestors, or African American ancestors.
But, hey, my Great, great Uncle was hung as a horse thief because he owned and was riding a horse "white" men believed no n*^%%$* could own, Wonder what they were celebrating?
