were talking apples and oranges here. Name me a person representing the white, jewish, mexican, asian , ..., race and why that person should be honored for what he did in america, and then we have a discussion and a potential holiday.
Every inch of these United States was stolen not too damn long ago in the grand scheme of things. Who is white anyways? everyone is a mixture of something or originally imported from somewhere.
Im all for equal recognition of all ethnicities and not just giving black people a holiday, but to me this is a holiday for American Blacks, American Jews, American Italians, all americans... based on one specific dude, not an ethnicity or religious affiliation. MLK wanted ALL of us holding hands ... an idealist yes, but he did change shit.
