I don't care if it is black history, confederate history, world war history, or whatever history, those who do not study and recognize history are doomed to repeat it.
I'm not sure I like the word "celebrate" history. That probably is not the best way to put it. I prefer words like "study", "recognize", "learn", "acknowledge", "document", "reinactment", and so on. Slavery and war should not be "celebrated", but there is no much more to our past than slavery and war. Certainly there are things to celebrate in our past like our independence and the end of a war. But why would someone like The Times Larry English take offense? |

Larry English
Hey Y'all, Alan English is the white editor of the times. Larry is the black lawyer, but I think they are related.

I just have a problem when we start celebrating political holidays of other countries.
Cinco de Mayo is my least favorite. It's like a Mexican St. Patrick's Day with a heavy dose of "We want our rights". Ironically it's the celebration of Mexican independence from Spain, yet many illegal immigrants from Mexico want demand their dependence on U.S., rights and services. St. Patrick's day is Irish, I know, but there's no political agenda attached to it. Everyone wears green, dances, and drinks a lot. Boxing day...well...we don't do that here. Do the English celebrate the 4th of July, Independence Day, in England? |
