Best Post of the Month
Thank you, sir!
I’m all for each of us observing/celebrating our ethnic customs-I celebrate ones my ancestors brought from Spain a few hundred years ago, and the ones they adopted from the Natives/Indians. I have friends who observe customs from Germany, England, Ireland, etc-but those customs are from when we were all the same in a country-that hasn’t ever been the case in the Americas-except for the Indians/Natives.
Sharing stories, customs, etc is great-I’m all for it, but not a whole damned month devoted to a race or ethnic group to the exclusion of others-stop declaring months/weeks, whatever celebrations of African/Chinese/Irish/Italian, etc history and culture-we are Americans first-don’t force your ethnic customs/history on fellow Americans.
