The US became the US after the Revolutionary War, at which time we were a part of Britian and then a bunch of white colonists decided that they didn't want it that way, and the Revolutionary War began to change that. Do not trip out... this is not a racial comment, it is simply a correction. I have nothing against people of other races. I am not a racist. I love white people, black people, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, etc. etc. etc. HOWEVER, I do believe in people being fair. If America can have a recognized holiday that glorifies a black man--which MLK was only a man, not God, then likewise, Mexicans can have there's white's can have there's, etc. And not be called racist. If America decided to form a national holiday primarly for whtie people that glorified a white man, we would be called "racist". PS Why wouldn't the statue of liberty count? It's there. ]]> 371809@blogcritics.org Fri, 19 May 2006 13:07:16 EDT
