I propose that we replace celebrating a different "demographic" each month with celebrating an ideal. Have a day or week dedicated to a subsection of that ideal and bring all races and demographics into play. This way, no one is limited to just a month or a few weeks

For example:

January - Leadership and Service
February - Medicine
March - World History
April - Food and Culinary Skill (Imagine a week dedicated to BBQ)
May - Cinema and Television
June - Family and Relationships
July - Government, Politics and America History
August - Science and Technology
September - Construction and Repair
October - Sports and Competition (all 4 major pro sports occur at the same time - the only month this is the case)
November - Exploration and Discovery
December - Economics, Advertising and Marketing

To make this work, it's a 24-month cycle that is determined 2 years in advance THEN VOTED ON BY NATIONAL ELECTION.

If we're going to highlight American Exceptionalism, then HIGHLIGHT AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.

Get rid of all "protected" groups

The very existence of "protected" groups is govt sanctioned discrimination.

How? I didn't specify what type of either. "Construction and Repair" can include concepts of nanorepair at a cellular level for example.

How the frick am I supposed to virtue signal that? My soft bigotry eats at me and I need to rationalize it. And you give me this? Who can I call a Nazi now? Do you even think before posting?

I'm think all of these month things are stupid and actually diminish the groups they intend to highlight.

How about we get rid of hyphenated Americans and identity politics.

When everybody is simply an American we will all be better off.

It says a lot about you that your metric for thread quality is how much controversy it courts.

Frankly I was expecting more downvotes. I guess truly good ideas are universally accepted.

Shreveport used to have an Italian American festival every year. They canceled it years ago when some Italians running it stole all the money.
