Proposal to Represent Minorities

[EKublai]

The Creation of a Holiday so that a Minority Belief is not Excluded and Everyone Can Have a Day to Celebrate their Individuality

As our world has evolved, so have its people. Through the actions of using new-found communication technologies, we have created a new era of cultural diffusion and globalization. America has never been a uniform country, whether talking about its geographical terrain, which ranges from the Rocky Mountains to large deserts to sandy beach shores, or about its culture. Ever since the beginnings of its colonization, America has experienced the clashing of these cultures turning itself into a box of mixed ethnicities. It is perhaps this mixing of communities that has made this country so powerful in the minds of foreign countries.
However, the greatness of America’s democratic government, and the people that live here, is nowhere near the importance of its flaws. The United States is in the midst of a cultural disaster. This is because of the fact that certain minorities, commodities that the democratic system holds dear, are failing to be represented in politics and policy, and are just basically ignored in American life. Because America is supposed to be the land of opportunity for all, it is also important for the country to realize that some groups have nothing to be happy for. While Americans as a whole can be grateful for the discovery of America through the off-day of Columbus Day, other groups, especially those of non-American origins, have been belittled. It is time for the groups that rule the United States that their gloating through various holidays goes against what the laws of their country forbid.

Why, there's really no point for this type of thing.

I mean, the American government isn't there to cater to each individual ethnic group so that they dont' feel like thier unrepresented. That's really not thier problem to focus on some small useless holiday.

If the minorities want holidies to help show off thier individuality, then let them do it. I really don't think we need a holiday to show how different we are.

There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.
Theodore Roosevelt.

I ask upon you, don't look at your differences, but look on your simalarities.
Stop thinking as yourself as a Mexican, or English or Irish, but as Americans.

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers, as well as the rest of the world, were able to be presented by a truly historical notion. An event that would change society as we know it, forever. A noble plan was presented, and this plan, like the little democratic fireball it was, rose from the depths of the minorities and became one of the greatest sensations the world had ever witnessed. One could argue that the ‘discovery’ of this plan ranks in importance with the discovery of the New World because we owe so much to how far we’ve come since its introduction. It is in the American and democratic mindset to commemorate and celebrate such accomplishments. Take Black History Month or, as previously mentioned, Columbus Day. Neither one directly related to democracy, yet we celebrate because it holds so much relevance to our early history. Here, I propose to create a holiday that is both in the name of the American spirit, and in the name of democracy. In order so that a minority, which has for long suffered by the cruel hand of fate, can be recognized for what it is, just another organism in our ecosystem of democracy. And yet, it is not so, because when you think of it, you know it holds relevance with so many Americans that you understand that it doesn’t matter that the origins are from abroad. This is why we need a holiday. So I believe a good name… Well since we use Christopher Columbus’ last name for his holiday, I can no better alternative than to call this momentous occasion Hitler Day.

But thats the thing, we live in a society of equality or at least the ability where all men and women are equal regardless of race, creed or sex.

To set out months such as Black History Month or Women's History Month is next to affirmitive action, giving special groups unintended interest and views that are based on ethnicity or religion or sex, not on character.

And really, who actually teaches about black history, much less actually does anything about it.

Really, it's just a BS holiday to help empower blacks instead of looking inside thier own communities and rooting out thier own disease.

And isn’t it about time? Finally, through the same type of government that allowed the National Socialist German Workers Party in the 1920’s to become a major global influence, finally they are given a resounding encore. This holiday commemorates and celebrates a new beginning. Hitler Day is not just an American or German holiday, for the man himself has, if some way, shape, or form, touched all of our hearts, but it is a universal holiday. This is to be celebrated on the closet Monday of February 24th, the day that Adolf Hitler first presented his ambitious project to Munich in 1920. Appropriately for this is the party that represents the working class, the working class gets a day of relief from their jobs in order to celebrate what they haven’t been able to celebrate for some 60 years now. This holiday will also be a warning to the anti-nazi extremists that America’s devices were not created to serve their own biased needs, but the needs of all. With Hitler Day, people that have been forced to apologize for their beliefs can now openly express themselves, just as it is now acceptable for a homosexual or a negro to reveal him or herself. It is also a time for those that have oppressed the Nazi population over recent years, inexplicably the Jewish population, who has turned the American mindset against the very concepts that it strives to magnify in the name of liberty and the first amendment. I believe that while Hitler Day should be a day of celebration for all, it should also be a day of atonement for the Jewish population, similar to Yom Kippur. Though the Nazi Party has been disrespected for far too many years, it is not too late for the followers of Judaism to give an apology that is acceptable. Judaism should look on Hitler Day not as an insult, but as an opportunity to find themselves in the good grace of the Almighty.

No!

It's that simple. We do not need more bigoted holidays celebrating minority cultures, and we may actually need the opposite-- a shoring up of the traditional American culture so that it can integrate these minorities instead of setting them up on their own pedestals.

Oh fucking Christ not a nazi.

Fuck this, I'm not getting into an argument with a hate monger.

[Elfer]

How about something everyone can enjoy, like tasty beverage appreciation day? For those who cannot taste, we can just make very well presented drinks that they can look at. If you can't taste and can't see, your face was probably blown off in some sort of accident, therefore a civic holiday is meaningless to you.

Oh man, I just noticed this guy was a nazi.

And if you nazis are really so much more oppressed than the homosexuals and non-white people you preach hate against, why was David Duke allowed to run for public office. And win?

Though it may surprise some of you, I concur.

If we're going to have a African-American history month or a women's history month, why don't we have a Jewish history month, a Caucasian history month, a Nordic history month, a Celtic history month....the list goes on and on.

If we have to have anything, let's have a celebrate diversity month and a celebrate the melting pot month.

I got a better one, lets celebrate a holiday of what makes us the same, a holidays that shows our unity and equality.

A holiday like, the 4th of July.

[EKublai]

To those who would object that a holiday to celebrate this historical event is to extreme. What else would you have of us? We here in America have dedicated an entire month to the oppression of the African slaves. 300 years in thirty days, each African American standing proud by the hardships they faced, standing proud in the name of all slaves. We already allow evangelical Christians preach death to homosexuals on live T.V weekly, and we already discriminate against Latin Americans because they come here looking for jobs, even though it is our European ancestors that killed most of them off with smallpox. All of these misdeeds and misrepresentations of minorities and yet the Nazi party can’t be allowed a single day? Speaking especially since what we aim to celebrate is a belief that many share to be true as the beginnings of a just solution in Germany. We do not celebrate in order to hate, but to express our love that the Nazi party can still be represented within a democratic society. It is just as we express our love at the notion of Christopher Columbus setting foot on American soil for the first time, smelling the pollinated and sweet-smelling air for the first time, before sneezing directly on the nearest Amerindian. That sneeze would eventually lead to American colonization and finally, to the present day. God bless Christopher.
To those who believe that we should not commemorate either day, I say, “Oh Bah! Oh Hieronymus! What hypocrisy!” Besides, it is not in the American spirit to celebrate the passive, but the active! The discovery of the New World was one of the most active events in history and so it is in the American spirit to celebrate both for their noble causes.
I would like to end by stating that all minorities, no matter how controversial, should be represented. With Hitler Day, this representation that has been lacking for so many years occurs. To the Jews I quote Saint Francis of Assisi, “Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith.” With Hitler Day I expect that the world will finally be able to pressure the Jewish population into exploring what it truly means to be a part of this grand nation.

[SyntheticTacos]

The U.S. government can't stop you from celebrating Hitler day, but that doesn't mean that those of us who, you know, have a fair bit of disagreement with a guy who ordered the murder of over 6 million people don't have the right NOT to celebrate either.

America has one culture, and that is a culture of America, not a culture of Hispanic and America, or even more than that.

Canada is a perfect example of where multiculturalism doesn't work. Even now, half of the population of Quebec wants to seperate from Canada, weakening the country.

Your ideas are dangerous to the livelihood of a nation. We were not ment to be multicultural.

??? I'd like to see some statistics on that Quebec separatism statement. I heard from a friend in Montreal it was closer to 35%, not too far away from the American population that still supports Bush. :) So let's not say that Quebec is about to go into open rebellion.

And how can you call a country that was colonized by people from all across Europe non-multicultural? Add all the descendent's of African slaves, Chinese immigrants, Native Americans and other various immigrants, and I'd have to say that the culture of the U.S. is predominantly created by the mixing of various foreign cultures. (In addition to what Native American influence is left,)

Actually, the horrid blockishness of his posts and his radically absurd statements made me refuse his concept so quickly that I forgot to scan through for the Nazi references. Good catch. If he actually used paragraphs I might have given him enough credit to read his whole thing.

Maybe cause you weren't absurd enough.

I say... maybe "Punked" at most. Or Candid Camera.

In other news... I propose "Let's Kill Whitey Day"

Now, that's funny--

So, Jews should atone for the deaths of 6 million of their brethren? We should apologize and grovel at your feet for suppressing hate and racism? Shame on You.

well the difference between the two, is that Candid camera aims to trick people by leadin them in a totally different direction before saying "just kidding" Ironic essay are about making subtle points. For instance, mine, while seeming to be about our need to represent a particular minority opinion, its trying to show the consequences of allowing certain minorities to overwhelm the mishmash culture of America.

but you never really listed any consequences.
Either you were a nudge too subtle-- or they weren't particularily good.

Because, really...
Minorities aren't that well represented. You want irony?
Then let's look at one particular race that pretty much controls the United States: White.

Now that's a funny and ironic essay that needs to be written.
