That's easy for whitie to say. Our nation has been desegregated for about 40 years of the 231 years our country has existed; and black slavery was around for ages before that. It has barely been one generation since desegregation and you expect centuries of living as second class citizens to evaporate into thin air? Think again.
you seem to have forgotten with your "That's easy for whitie to say" that blacks owned and sold black slaves too.

What II want to know is why we have Martin Luther King day. There is not one other holiday named after an individual person. Personally, I would think the first President of this country is more important than MLK and yet he is lumped with all other President's in one single day. Recockulous.

Somehow, this statement completely lacks substance given the rest of your post.

I remember the good old days back in school, every year we had to sit and listen to how black people accomplish things, as if they thought we wouldn't believe it unless they told us. How many of you kids use an iron? Guess what kids, black people invented the iron.

Thank you black folks for your miraculous invention of heated metal.

Free passage from Africa to America and a bunch of entitlement to mooch off seems like a pretty fricking good deal to me.

Nope, that's wrong. If there was enough movement in the white community to get a white history month, I'm sure no one would care (just as you don't care about black history month).

Same with WET. If someone actually cared about creating a WET (and thought it would be profitable), there would be a WET.

Because blacks have a special place in our hearts. They are much more special than Mexicans. I think I speak for us all ...

Yep. And to top it off, they got to work in the fields for 12+ hours a day, and got served a splendid meal of corn mush and water after a proud days work.

Oh boy, that is a fricking great deal to me too.

Please, every other channel is a WET.

No every other channel is a regular channel. There are lots of different races on tv. There is just no need to have a white only channel.

CMT?

there are black country singers (cowboy bob is just one).

also historilcy i seem to remember reading that the something like 30% of cowboys were black.

you forget aht cowboy was a generic term for someone that worked ont the ranch.

Or for that matter just a 'history month' would be nice - most people have no idea what happenend in WWII let alone 18th century imperilism and slavery.

Besides I'm not sure dividing people into races for any reason is a good idea. Same concept with these MOBO (music of black origin) awards we have over here.
