It's a celebration of how a difference was made through generations. The celebration is not about slavery, but about overcoming all of this. It's a way to look back and see how people have changed for the better. Too bad not everyone has changed...

I am in agreement with some of this, particularly about how they celebrate. I think they should make it like Hanukah? The eight days of candles, signifying the flee from Egypt, and only enough oil for one day but it stretched to eight? and they give eight gifts to celebrate freedom. Now if they would celebrate the freedom part and get rid of all the bad stuff that would be turning the page and that is a little hard when you still want to use it to whine about for excuses to hate on a crusade. King is probably rolling in his grave. The Afro-Americans get a whole month, we have Christmas and that is a weekend, thanksgiving one day, the 4th of July freedom significant one day? And if it was not for that day none of us would be free for they would not either for they are Americans, But Kings birthday covers a whole weekend and all they do is mourn and piss and moan. Move on and celebrate laugh live be joyful for the it is a gift that they have been given. And not by us but by evolution mother nature because we are all equal. And we should not have the reverse discrimination fall upon us either. Maybe write in and suggest a big feast and dancing holiday with music, and joy for the month of February? And enough with proving and arguing about who invented what we were not there we don't know and we don't care. It does nothing for me or you that Ben Franklin was white and he was the greatest inventor of all time and no one ever will top him, white or black. All we can do is be grateful he invented what he did, and we have the privelege of enjoying his inventions. Well Good Luck

Er, um....why do YOU celebrate anything you do? Because it seems right? Maybe you were indoctrinated to think your own ethnicity and traditions are somehow right (or at least more so than others)?
Remember, blacks are not the only people in this world as you exist alongside the rest of us, just like the rest of us.

Well Princess, I think your profile on Yahoo says all we need to know about you........."I'm cute and I want to achieve longer hair".
Sadly there does not appear to be much other than vacuum inside your longer hair.
Does it not occur to you that the black people who can trace their routes through slavery are celebrating what they have achieved despite having suffered slavery.
The histories of most peoples and nations are chequered with sections we would all rather forget, but history provides us with the reasoning behind how and why we got to where we are today.
Please let me know if there are any words too big for you to understand in the above.

Somehow I don't believe that you really want an answer to such an insultingly ignorant question. However I wonder if you would ask it in a public place where someone could actually get their hands round your throat and completely stop the small trickle of oxygen that is reaching your insipidly racist brain.

When I see questions like this, I have to wonder how old the asker must be. It is a celebration of achievement not oppression.

infants of on the instant have certainly no self-discipline nor admire 'they are probable the rudest infants interior the international as properly the yankee infants. they have been allowed to flee with many stuff and now they have the better hand in college. instructors are no longer allowed to touch infants, they do no longer look to be allowed to furnish them long detention and we no longer hear of caning or rustication. the government is likewise responsible for what is going on in classes and could provide instructors returned the authority to self-discipline and punish the infants. infants now returned answer instructors to the component of instructors being a great deal disappointed or maybe having to bypass out of the college room so as that the studetns do no longer see them crying. it is unquestionably disgusting the way infants weigh down instructors and it isn't any ask your self we've plenty violence interior the playgrounds and interior the streets, If infants can't be controlled collectively as in college how are they meant to check admire and behave precise whilst they are older? as quickly as we've been youthful we respected our instructors. We have been disciplined and does no longer and ought to no longer answer instructors returned devoid of the phobia of being caned, given the slipper or being sent to the pinnacle. it is severe time now that each and all and sundry instructors and the lecturers Union celebration and sign a petition to the government to furnish returned the authority to self-discipline infants in college and on college grounds. If mothers and dads merchandise to their new child being controlled in college then they ought to bypass and are available across a diverse college for their new child. in keeping with threat if a "No speaking at college" replaced into enforced there may well be no room for disruption. I surely have lived in India the place my infants went to college and the lecturers there have been especially respected and young infants disciplined. (i'm no longer an Indian) and that i might opt to work out a similar right here in England. devoid of suitable training the two in college and at abode all we are doing is pointing out a violent society that has no admire for anybody or any authority. as quickly as we get returned to fundamentals our streets and different public places would be plenty safer to be in. We on no account had the violence in our cities, knife carrying hooligans, teenage pregnancies nor youthful drunks. Its approximately time the English government positioned its ft firmly on the floor and produce returned the decency and admire we had right here earlier on.

Hello dear!
Not only the Blacks, but all are celebrating similarly!
Look at the national holidays, even the religion holidays are all either for wars, or dead, etc.

because they think they are repressed or something. if white people ever came up with a white only month or holiday or made a tv channel for white peoples entertainment, we would never hear the end of it. micheal richards (kramer)makes a comment at a comedy club and all hell breaks loose an jesse jackson has to get involved but they dont take into account that on the comedy shows on BET all they can joke about is white people this and white people that but you dont see us crying about it! I am totally with you on this one. Oh and don't even get me started on Spanish people!
