Controversy surrounds float in NC Fourth of July parade
HOPE MILLS, N.C. — Officials in a North Carolina town said they’ve received several complaints from people offended by a controversial Fourth of July parade float.
WTVD reported that the incident happened Thursday at the community’s annual July 4th parade in Hope Mills. A picture snapped by a parade-goer shows a man on a tractor flying a confederate flag and pulling a wagon loaded with watermelons. A sign on the trailer read: “White History Month. Hug WTE PPL.” Town officials told WTVD that farmer Donnie Spell applied for and received a parade permit. However, officials said Spell told them he would be pulling an antique tractor with a sign that read: “Watermelons for sale” at a nearby bank parking lot. When WTVD went to Spell’s home, his gate was locked. A neighbor said he didn’t think the man was trying to be vicious or funny. But people that saw the float thought otherwise. “This should be over, all that stuff should be over. I don’t understand why people are still living like this,” said Hope Mills resident Suzanne Singletary. Town officials said they are considering making changes to the registration process so this does not happen again. http://myfox8.com/2013/07/06/controv...f-july-parade/ |

So why can't there be a white history month, anyone?

That's not a very good float.

I see some diversity. The second John Deere has some Massen Fergasson red cross breeding. The third is Ford blue.

Because no one needs to be reminded of white peoples contributions.
And Im not trying to be a dick here either. A huge majority of everything that makes modern day living what it is, a white man was responsible for. It would just seem like gloating Im sure some people will find me stating a fact offensive, but alas. |

While I'm not sure a whm should exist, I'm not entirely sure your reasoning is valid. We don't have Native American or Mexican history month.
