The Hypocricy of Those Behind Supposed Equality

In the news today, according to the Houston Chronicle, a group called "White Lives Matter" has been labeled as a Hate Group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for promoting the fact that, along with Black Lives Matter, those of caucasian decent matter just as much. However, the group promotes peaceful interaction which is opposite of the Black Lives Matter movement who have endorsed violence to get their message across. This violence includes rioting, harassing people of other races, denying passage down a public sidewalk to elderly folks walking home, and the premediated murders of our police officers, amongst other things.  As their (BLM)activities have been well documented in the news, I will not go into any of that. If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I am not racist, and look only for truth amidst the chaotic sea of rhetoric on both sides of the aisle on any subject.
In my response, I posed a question to see just where true racism will rear its ugly head.
It will be interesting to see where it goes...

"So, along this line of thinking...
Our brothers and sisters of African decent have created a Black History Month, and other events that show the unique culture their anceastors came from. If I created a White History Month, to celebrate the history of causasion ancestory, I would NOT be given fair time and representation in the eyes of Americans of other races, but would instead be labeled a racist, bigot and other defamatory names; just because I am proud of my heritage, just like everyone else?
Isn't that called Hypocricy? What one celebrates, the others should, as well. You can't scream racism, then turn around and not give others a forum.
Here's a great thought...
How about we ALL celebrate being Americans? No colors, no agendas, not hatred for wrongs committed generations ago...just pride in being American. That we were ALL blessed to be born in the greatest country in the world, and that TOGETHER we can we can grow, as a nation, to be greater in every way. How about celebrating THAT?"
