Subject: RE: BS: Your cultural heritage- is it important?
Here is something interesting from the actor Morgan Freeman (taken from Wikepedia) ... I must say I cannot diasagree with him ... food for thought ...

"Freeman has publicly criticized the celebration of Black History Month and does not participate in any related events, saying, "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."[10] He says the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it, and he notes that there is no "white history month". Freeman once said on an interview with 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace: "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man."[10] Freeman supported the defeated proposal to change the Mississippi state flag, which contains the Confederate battle flag[11][12]."
