The author of this BLOG finds no wrong-doing with this practice of ethnic awareness month celebrations, so long as two conditions are present: 1)all ethnic groups comprising the American scene are allowed--with mutual respect and honor--to engage in this practice, and therefore, 2)persons of dual or multiple racial ancestry will faithfully observe hommage to all sides of their personal racial heritage. God is not a respecter of persons(Acts 10:34-35), and it is sinful for us to show partiality for purpose of racial hubris over other ethnic groups.
As to American life itself, we must above all celebrate a commitment to equal justice under law by acknowledging all the nation's ethnic group contributions to its greatness. Finally, on these occasions, we are to celebrate the good that men do. The evil they have done before will live sufficiently beyond their own life-times, without effort of special notice from us.
