its alright to have all black schools try to have a all white school and youll be called racist they have a miss black pagent why not have a miss white pagent oh yeh youd be racist, what about the negro colledge fund why not have a white colledge fund oh yeh!! they have a black history month why not have a white history month hell we dont even have a native american history month and they suffered longer and harder than the blacks. the blacks sold their own kind into slavery. just somethen to think about
While I don't necessarily agree with 'minority only' anything, it is - in context - understandable. The vast majority in this country is white. We don't need special schools, or pagents or anything else... We have historically had the 'upper hand' over minorities. For some in within minority groups, it give them a sense of value to celebrate their heritage. No one has ever denied whites the opportunity to celebrate ours.
It does no harm. In fact, if it gives minorities a better sense of the importance and valuable contribution they have made to this country, great. The only time I disagree with it, is when it is manipulated by those who seek to exploit minorities for political gain.
To me, the sooner we all drop the labels (like 'black American', 'African American',' Latino American,' Irish American' etc) the better. The one word that unites us is American. That is the important word. The rest of it is irrelevant.
