Let's Hear it for White People!

I want to start out by saying that I respect and celebrate Black History Month as much as the next guy, but usually around day 19 it starts to irk me how quick people are to forget just how wonderful and special white people really are. Granted, we've been responsible for some of history's greatest atrocities but can't that be said about most races? (I'm looking at YOU Australian Aboriginies). I guess my point is let's not let the bad outweigh the good. I want you to ask yourself, where would we be without white people?

Read a good Mitch Albom book lately? Thank a white person!

Did you happen to find that pefect pair of khakis at the Gap? Thank a white person!

Have you ever been stuck behind a queer-ass electric car? No, you say? Thank a white person!

So, the next time Two and a Half Men has you in stitches, take a moment to realize and respect how far we've come as a culture and who we have to thank for that.
