Holidays (Society & Culture) - June 2006

Tomorrow it's St. John's day. In my city, Porto, it is a holiday and tonight we have a really great party. I know the same happens in Braga (farther to the north of Portugal).

I want to know where else. I read it is also a holiday in Catalunya (or is it just in Barcelona?) and Québec, right? I want to know who of you live in cities/regions/countries where tomorrow is a holiday and tonight you have a big St. John's night festival.

How do i tell my boss i need next weekend off work? contd....?

My mam booked me a surprise weekend away with a few friends(fri-sun) for next week and only told me today. I've already had my 2 summer weeks off on holiday in Greece. But my manager has always said that i should ask a month in advance for time off. What will i say? The truth? Make something up? My mams already paid for it, and i really wanna go!

White people do get mad at our culture,Tristan16 is so right!?

yeah he has'nt done anything.But he can't,because you guys have jobs.Half of us don't have jobs or we don't make good money.Its hard being black now and it was then.But you white peope say your working and stuff,thats the point you have jobs.We can't get jobs because people judge us.And half of our race is kinda stupid,but people judge that side of our race then judge us.If you think were doing the same to you white people,then good!Because now you know how we feel.And why should there be an asian,jewlrish,white,european,native and other culture history months.Yall haven't done anything,but i do think there should be a mexican history month.i think they diserve amonth instead of a day.Hey god,mexicans,and black people made it more of a civilized nation.

Should the Chinese have a History Month since they were once slaves and had to fight for freedoms and liberty-

much like African Americans?
http://yennadon.sd42.ca/online/socials/Chinatown/slaves.html

And for that matter, should the Native Americans have a History Month dedicated to them since they were here first?

I am just asking because this other guy on here is so angry about why people would question the whole concept of a month dedicated to one race.Why not celebrate and educate all cultures and races all year long?We are the melting pot of the world after all.

Why do you get mad because their isn'nt an history month for yall?

If your an culture besides white people,then hear this.The only reason why we have a black history month is because we had people take a stand and say,i wanna celebrate my history and they would'nt rest till the goverment let it be.See thats exacly what im talking about,we stood up and fought.Yall's ancestors did'nt fight,if the govorment said no yall just walked away.WHITE people what can you celbrate your ancestors did nothing but treat us like ****!So why should you guys diserve a month?Any way most white people get everything they want,every single day of the year is a white persons day.Us blacks are still fighting for our rights,yeah we fought for our freedom.But now we want our right and credit for everything we did.If it was'nt for us White people would'nt be so high class.Us blacks fought for everbody.And we just don't get credit.Martin Luther King,Jr would still be sad.

The reason there isn't a white history month is because everyday is a white folks day!?

So I don't know why white people get upset,everyday is white folks day.Black history month only comes around once 31 days.Yall got the whole year around.365 days!And white people have'nt done nothing in this country but enslave us black's,Yall heros are the presidents.And white people have had there turn to make us pay,is our time to shine.And hey we have'nt yeah,but along the line we do.MOST white people get everthing they want,even though they should'nt!

Why there is no White, Mexican, Indian and so forth history months?

I was just wondering why there is only a Black history month. I'd also like you all to know that I don't mean to get everyone into a racial battle here, I was just wondering if there was any reason behind this.

What are you doing on Fourth of July?

I have a week off of work so I will probably catch up on sleep and eat as much as my stomach can take. There isnt much to do in Atlanta GA during 4th of July...I've watched all the fireworks my eyes can fathom for the past 10 years, so I'm not really into them at the moment. You doing anything special?
