I Want To Talk About Community

I've been wondering about this for awhile..
Why is there a Black history month, and not White history month.?
Why is there a Miss Black America, but the Miss America is for all races?
There are Black Food Festivals.
There are Scholarships just for the black.
And why is Presidents Day for all Presidents, but MLK has his own day, but wasn't a president? I realize he was a big part of Black history, but I don't think he should get his own Day.
Sorry if all this offends anyone, I'm just curious.

I've pondered this myself more times than I can count on both hands.

But not just for this, for all so-called 'holidays' too, especially those that make absolutely no damn sense.

Thing is, I have an all-inclusive answer. You're likely not going to like it.

CAPITALISM.
