At my work, I am forced to celebrate black history month.. Even take quizzes on slavery and things like that. I turned to one of my co-workers who is black, and said "Why if we are to become friends and have peace do we once a year pick a scab and bring hatred back? If to be equal, doesn't it mean to forgive and know that it should never be done again, but why pour the gas on to flames, acting as the white friend and the black friend can never move forward, and really be friends. Celebrate, educate, but remember there were good people to help." He looked at me and said, "You're right." Simple. My heart and feelings, honestly why Sharpton is a racist ass.
