A LOT of people were extremely pissed off about that. I have no problem with an MLK blvd (although most i've been on were kinda scary). Another issue I remember people getting upset about was Rosa Parks lying in state. There are plenty of things, black history month, celebrations of "diversity," etc...that just get annoying for white people. Like blacks, we get really tired of having everything made into a racial issue.

Sorry but I really think its people like yourself that makes things into a racial issue. So far in this thread, you have been the only one to bring up personal experiences of what you deem to be "racial issues" of how whites have it so bad. I'm sorry but MLK and other celebrations just don't wash with me and to really use them as examples is sad case of grasping at straws.
I mean, goodness sake, I currently live in Kansas where there is NOTHING remotely close to the word "diverse" here but common sense tells me that it isn't "the white man" shoving his culture down my throat. I could sit here and whine about how Ocktoberfest and Columbus Day parades and claim that they are annoying examples of "white pride" (using your logic) but common sense tells me that isn't the case.
Your real problem seems to be where you live. Hey, if you're looking for something that is more suitable for your taste, come to Kansas.
