Ermm.. in fact it didn't have to be a joke at all. He could have simply meant that veteran's day is as much a white man's holiday as luther king day is a black holiday in the sense that it isn't at all in both cases, which I'm almost sure is what he meant.

That analogy (Jews) is horrible. Correction's meaning is quite obviously what Flexor stated.

Besides, he is right. Veteran's day is not a white person holiday just as Martin Luther King Jr. day is not a black holiday. Where did he say that Veteran's Day was a white holiday?

Exactly.

Shut up. I'm GOING to do this whether you like it or not.

To be honest, I'd never heard of it until a few minutes ago.

And yay Flex.

Yeah, but you know what? This one, this one right here, this was my dream, my wish, and it didn't come true. So I'm takin' it back. I'm takin' 'em all back.

I knew of the holiday's existence (from doing MLK in school), but I didn't know what day it was on.

Huh. The impression I got from Correction's post was that Veteran's Day wasn't a white person's holiday at all, just like MLKJ's day isn't just for black people.

Everybody knows that the original way to raise hell is to introduce the topics of race, religion, or politics and walk away, letting everyone bicker untill they hate each other.

Ubuu was obviously genuinely pissed and didn't do it on purpose, but now that he's vented and gotten it out of his system, why are we replying?

Just by the subject matter, we all KNOW we're just going to end up flaming eachother before the thread's inevitable lock, let's save ourselves the trouble.

Does that mean I can say "in be fo' da lock?"

Yeah, but you know what? This one, this one right here, this was my dream, my wish, and it didn't come true. So I'm takin' it back. I'm takin' 'em all back.

I'd have to say so.

Oh yeah, in be fo' da lock! KEkEkEKE ^_____________^

You can only say that because minorities don't exist in SCANDINAVIA LAND!
