NOW TODAY IS PRESIDENT'S DAY AND MY QUESTION IS " WHY DO WE NOT CELEBRATE THIS HOLIDAY?" WHY DO THE CHILDREN HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL ON PRESIDENT'S DAY BUT NOT ON MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY? SURE, WE HAVE SHOPPING DISCOUNTS AT THE MALL AND SOME CREDIT UNIONS CLOSE BUT THE CHILDREN DO NOT CELEBRATE IT. IS MARTIN LUTHER KING JR MORE IMPORTANT ALL OF THE PRESIDENT'S IN THE UNITED STATES? I'M NOT RACIST BUT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE ONE MAN'S NAME THEN YOU NEED TO CELEBRATE ALL OF THE PRESIDENT'S. SEEMS TO ME WE USED TO CELEBRATE A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE STEADILY LEAVING US. WE USED TO HAVE A DAY OF NATIONAL PRAYER WHICH OUR CURRENT PRESENT PUT A DAMPER ON SO HE COULD CELEBRATE THE MUSLIMS PRAYERS. SEEMS TO ME NATIONAL PRAYER DAY STANDS FOR ALL RELIGIONS. I'M A PARENT OF 2 BEAUTIFUL BI-RACIAL TEENAGERS AND I WANT MY CHILDREN TO EXPERIENCE ALL MATTERS OF THEIR RACES WHICH INCLUDE CAUCASIAN, AFRO-AMERICAN AND CHEROKEE INDIAN. I WANT THEM TO LEARN THAT THEY ARE SPECIAL BECAUSE OF THEIR HERITAGES. I AM TIRED OF THE DOUBLE STANDARDS, RACIST CRAP THAT STILL GOES ON IN AMERICA. WE SHOULD WANT ALL OF OUR CHILDREN TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN OUR COUNTRY NO MATTER WHAT THE RACE IS. WE SHOULD WANT OUR CHILDREN TO CELEBRATE ALL MATTERS OF OUR COUNTRY NO MATTER WHAT HAS HAPPENED. THEY SHOULD CELEBRATE AND LOVE TO LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTROL OF IT NEED TO STOP TRYING TO CHANGE OUR PAST AND LET OUR CHILDREN LEARN WHAT OTHERS HAD TO GO THROUGH FOR OUR COUNTRY TO BE WHERE IT IS TODAY. BECAUSE 200 YEARS AGO PEOPLE WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE A BI-RACIAL PRESIDENT.
LET IT GO PEOPLE. START PRAISING EVERYTHING NOT JUST PICK AND CHOOSE. WE HAVE HAD GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES IN OUR COUNTRY AND WE NEED TO CELEBRATE ALL OF IT SO OUR CHILDREN KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THE TIMES GOOD AND BAD THAT MADE THIS COUNTRY WHAT IT IS TODAY.
