Perhaps you have heard about a barbecue restaurant in Millkien, Colorado that has proclaimed "White Appreciation Day," on June 11. Edgar Antillon,owner of Rubbin’ Buttz BBQ says all Americans should be celebrated and pointed out that there is Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month, so why not at least a white appreciation day.
Guess what? That is racist. At least according to civil rights activist in northern Colorado. I suspect that all those that make their living off racism claims around the country will chime in with agreement.
Yes, there were times when racism was common in this country. And there will always be a few racist - in all races toward all races. But, America as a nation has gotten past that, or at least we are trying to.
Unless the race baiters bring it back, and there is money and power in hatred.
