Do you think non whites should be off from work on white holidays?

Well black people are citizens of this country, so why isnt Presidents day our holiday? Columbus Day is a bogus holiday. He didn't discover anything, there were people here when he landed as I recall. He discovered nothing. I can see St Pats day being a "white holiday" but isn't it really catholic holiday and there are black catholics so even that is questionable.
Finally you must be a kid or unemployed because you dont know a thing about holidays. When I worked in companies that had Federal Holidays, I did get President Day and Columbus Day off and I am black. I never knew any company that has St. Patrick's day as a holiday.
My question is, why are all of the racist like you so uneducated?

Since I don't live in the US I'll comment only on Columbus Day which is observed all throughout the Americas. You're wrong if you think that Columbus Day is a white holiday. Columbus started the interracial mixing this side of the pond, mind you. He started the slaughtering of aboriginals and open the door for blacks to be forced into coming here. Got it?
P.S.: I thought that your president was the president of your nation, not just the president of white people. As for St. Patrick's: ask the Irish.

At least on St Paddys day all the lower forms of life can pretend to be Irish and drink themselves into delusions of Saintly Irishness. Of course some of us are already drunk and Irish beand don't need the ilusion because we live with our unique superiority everyday
Therefore blacks can celebrate St Paddys day too. I do think thought it should be made a day off holiday and some of the phoney ones cancelled like MLK day and New Years day.

I don't get any of those "holidays" off and I'm white. I also don't get Martin Luther King day off either. What's your point?

I've never heard of a white holiday. Sounds like a great idea. Maybe even a white history month?

All those holidays are American holidays, not white holidays, so every American should be off on American holidays, why? are you to prejudice to realize not every one that lives in America is white?

Probably the same thing you do on MLK day or during black history month.
President's day is not actually a "white holiday" btw
