I think the important thing here is that sooner or later, it should lead to reparations. Yup, as long as somebody has to give somebody money, the hundreds of years of Man's inhumanity to Man can be forgotten.

I've always thought that racism was a curiously slanted concept. Some of the most racist people I've ever met were not Caucasian. I've always thought it would be funny to have a White History week, complete with White Cuisine (white bread and Velveeta with Miracle Whip), White music (Pat Boone and Perry Como) and White clothing (leisure suits) prominently featured. Using the same exact wording of other ethnic pride events, it would certainly be decried as a racist function.

I just find it curious...
