Because the only real rule is “submit and defer to the Right”. Here and everywhere else. ---

If we had an official “white history month” it would be less than stellar at dealing with race issues alone. However, when I think about the expression “black power” I think of those athletes that fist pumped in the '68 Olympics and when I think about “white power” I think about a bunch of morons in white sheets. The people in the sheets bother me a whole lot more. ---
