I am very sad. I am a 22 year old white female. I have always gone to the Martin Luther King Jr Parade, and participated in other events which were sorrounded by the civil rights movement. The sad thing is that when I go to the parades, I never see other whites there. I have wondered why. Many of the whites want to take advantage of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday by not going to work, or school, but not once do they think to participate in the MLK activities.
Fellow whites, why do you do this? Do you think that MLK day is not important? Don't you realize that not only did MLK bring about changes for this country, but helped us all realize that we can all live together equally. However I see many whites at other parades, and activities. But it's like they believe that MLK day is only for blacks. However many people benefited from this, including blacks and whites. What do you think?
