Arizona Rep. Cecil Ash (Image source: KPHO-TV)
An Arizona legislator raised eyebrows this week with a suggestion that the state should name a holiday for Caucasians.
State Rep. Cecil Ash’s remarks began in jest while he was speaking on the Arizona House floor Monday, but asked to clarify them later, Ash doubled down and said he thought such a holiday was a good idea.
It started when state Rep. Richard Miranda, a Democrat, said Arizona should have a day to celebrate Latino Americans, Phoenix CBS affiliate KPHO-TV reported. According to the station, Miranda’s suggestion touched off a tense debate, and that’s when Ash stepped in to try to relieve the tension with a moment of levity.
“I’m supportive of this proposition… I just want them to assure me that when we do become in the minority you’ll have a day for us,” Ash, a Republican, said.
His words achieved their desired effect and got a few laughs. But after his comments got out, he told KPHO he stood by them.
“I think that if and when the Caucasian population becomes a minority, they may want to celebrate the accomplishments and the contributions of the Caucasian population the same way,” Ash said.
He told the station he thinks the state should acknowledge the accomplishments of great people, regardless of their ethnicity.
KPHO spoke with a few Arizonans to get their thoughts about Ash’s proposal: Reaction was mixed, with one person calling it a “crazy idea” but another saying it was a “good idea — Like they have Cinco de Mayo for Mexicans. We need something for whites.”

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 5:05pmLMFAO! We have been completely defeated by Africans, Muslims, and Communists, and now you want a White holiday? What the hell you all smoking in AZ?!?!?!?! Name all the holidays named after famous Americans, just one, a black social worker! No presidents, no astronauts, no inventors, only an African!
Besides, that white holiday is already planned by Obama and Ayers; it starts the day the last White Capitalist is hung/shot/beheaded!!!
Did you see the ruling by that George Judge with the Hawaiian name, (Hawaii, socialist state, hmmm, whatever) it’s over folks. I’ll bet Arpaio quietly goes away with his investigation. They just stopped Boyken a three star general from speaking at West Point, WEST POINT, total cowardice before the enemy in front of all those cadets! I retired out of West Point, what a disgrace; Patton must be weeping in his grave!
We as a nation are all but a chicken running around the court yard with its head cut off!
You ever wonder why they haven’t tried to kill Beck yet, it’s because they know no matter what he does, they can’t be stopped!
Unless God steps in, and I pray Becks right that God arrives, I’m afraid it’s all over but the smell of death!

Yes, because those were great days for the native Americans.
The point is that these days were celebrating specifically European-American accomplishments, but they have never been labeled that way because we simply think of them as “American.” It‘s the same reason why we don’t actually need anything like “White Studies”; because we are already taught history and culture with an overwhelmingly White-European focus.

Apparently they are not ‘proud’ to be who they were raised as in their ‘lower middle class ’white‘ neighborhood’….So, they decided African-American is better. Sadly many white girls and boys are being raised by society to have confused identities. They each married ‘African-American’ males…which I honestly have ‘NO’ problem with (as long as it’s about real love). Just wish our girls (my nieces) would be themselves!

“I guess when you look at EVERYTHING that exists or happens in the world through the lens of race, as PubliusPencilman does, everything must look racist…”
It is not a particularly controversial statement to say that the concept of race has been enormously influential throughout the history of the United States, regardless of whether you think we currently live in a “postracial” society. Denying this does not make you a champion of equality–it just makes you tremendously ignorant of history.
I was merely pointing out that if Rep. Cecil Ash wants a “white” holiday, he already has a few to chose from.

He is making a very good point here based on what is real racism disguised as celebration of minority acheivements every time there is one. The only race that is not included into this celebration is White Americans. Their collective role in shaping America is so down played to make minorities FEEL more equal without expecting them to make actually any real achievements.
Whites will one day pass the through the hour glass of race and into the bottom of the tank. It will be a different day then and even now as we approach it we can see the problems of a multiculture that has no glue to hold it from falling apart. Americas greatness is behind it, we only celebrate racial achievements, gender equality and are producing idiots out of our school systems who expect and believe that there is this magic America out there that will always support them.

You keep talking about Muslims like they are all evil, and well, ya reap what you sow. Do you not know that all your rhetoric is understood as your intense fear that your lily white world is coming to an end? And frankly MOST of us white folk don’t think at all like you. And we aren’t worried about fences and so forth. Because we actually don’t care how many of “them” there are.

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 7:21pmto AFEATHERADRIFT…just don’t understand your comments. too general, because frankly, I am white, and don’t treat people based on their COLOR. Where is this coming from, because you imply that you are white, but are you? As far as the muslim comment, well…when you are attacked by MUSLIM terrorists, not sure what we are supposed to think…and this all started back in 1979 with the hostages being taken in Iran, and has been going on against Americans ever since. Many, many times, so don’t even start on the idea that the US being negative about Muslims is wrong or unjustified…yikes. They want us gone. Period.

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 4:18pmIn a world where whites are no longer the majority in the US, we will have other issues to deal with. Number one will be Democrats and Liberals will be in power (blacks and hispanics overwhelmingly vote democrat). In fact, right now, almost 49% of Americans do NOT pay Federal Income Taxes – blacks/hispanics. That means almost 49% are the “Recipient Class and only 51% are of the “Earning Class”. Obama will further divide our country this year and attempt to rename “Recipient Class” to “Have Nots” and the “Earning Class” to “Haves”. The “Recipient Class” votes Democrat – the Dems bought them long ago and continuously try to grow their #- that’s why they want all the illegals to be able to become American and be given the right to vote. As soon as the Recipient Class reaches 51%, the Earning Class (Republicans/Conservatives/Libertarians) will be done for.
So – this is coming one way or another – either Obama gets reelected or the whites cease to be in the majority. Either way, we are done for. The Recipient Class will destroy our country when they‘ve run out of the Earning Class’ money.
Bottom line – there won’t be a day for whites – that’s foolish – there won’t be a country left!
And, no – I’ve never considered myself racist but I HAVE completely changed my outlook after being constantly attacked by Obama, Holder and his minions. White conservative America has NO president – he represents everyone else but us.

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 4:45pmDon’t flatter yourself. You mouth the Fox rhetoric well, but have no facts. When people don’t pay taxes little brain, its because they make so little money that the federal government income tax law expressly doesn’t include them. Kinda like how you take deductions and then if the balance is above a certain point, you pay tax. If it’s not, you don’t. Are you suggesting that they should just send a few bucks in anyhow? And it is erroneous to suggest they don’t pay taxes. They play sales tax, and payroll taxes and property taxes. Duh. So stop your little pat on the back of yourself that your “carrying” nearly half the country. You aren’t. And where do you get the racist idea that the 49% are all African-American and Latinos? You make me quite ashamed to have been born in Michigan. I thought our school systems were just a tad better than this.

Posted on February 5, 2012 at 11:48pmFeather and Psych, you do not pay any taxes (sales & property) when the Federal gov’t gives you a tax return of all the Fed Income taxes you paid and then credits even more on top of that.
Just with Fed income tax returns they are getting a check we haven’t even talked about all the free services! Add up all the taxes local, state, and federal paid and then subtract the total of services used, welfare, unemployment, medicade, medicare, social security, public education, housing subsidies, and food subsidies the grand bulk of the people not only pay no taxes, but take far more beyond that back.

Posted on February 6, 2012 at 4:44pmAFEATHERADRIFT – The truth doesn’t change simply because you will it to. The funny things about truth and facts is that they are….well….truth and facts. The truth is that this county consist of the Recipient Class and the Earning/Providing Class. You argue clearly from the point of view as the Recipients….full of blame and hate (typical liberal) whose only intelligent bitch is that one should not look down upon the Recipient Class cause its not their fault they are recipients…in fact, its the fault of the earning/providing class for not earning/providing enough.
I don’t want to see a fellow human being down on their luck. Over and over I’ve extended my hand to help them get back up. I‘ve got many friends who’ve been out of work and struggled to raise a family. The difference however is I’m proud of my friends who are scratching out a living ON THEIR OWN. Yes, they’ll take whatever help they can BUT DO NOT RELY EXCLUSIVELY upon the government. Your government wants people to rely upon them – all the better to ensure complete control of their “useful idiots”. Your government has no place in a self respecting persons life. Your rent is too damn high – an utter and complete sell-out.
But then again, this country wasn’t built by liberal, left leaning gutless stinking hippee filth. It was built by generations of men and woman you aren’t even worthy to describe – which is why you can only try to tear them down.

I don’t buy into any affirmative action – that is telling them they are inferior and need special treatment.
I am against quoters of any kind – for race, gender or creed.
If you want to celebrate a cultural holiday go to that country and be with your “Roots”

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 4:27pmUm…we don’t have affirmative action because it means African-Americans are inferior. That’s what YOU tell yourself so you can oppose it. It’s llike what most white folks do to mask their racism, especially from themselves.

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 4:53pmIf we as a society want to say affirmative action is necessary to right wrongs, then that’s fine and dandy, but let’s call it what it is. Legalized racism.

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 10:34pmActually I’ve read there are a few cities southern states that refuse to celebrate 4th of July, something to do with ‘4th of July’ representing northern agression or some such… It’s a tradition they carry going back to civil war.
Vicksburg, Missippi, was one such city… Apparently didn’t celebrate the 4th for 86 years after the war.
