145. Why should St Patrick's day be an exclusive white holiday?
Plenty of African-Americans (& Latinos, etc.) have Irish blood. And genetic studies in Ireland show more ties to North Africa than to "The Celts". Anybody else who wants to celebrate is welcome--as long as they don't vomit on my shoes or drive drunk.
Neither is Black History Month exclusively black. There's a lot for all of us to learn & celebrate.
