An open minded question...not a hateful question?

I've never heard of a black person trashing St Patrick's Day or even cares for it. However i hear white people all time complain about black people (bhm, bet, black colleges) in real life and on the internet anything that's not centered on white people.Because if you really think about it, bet has white people in it and and white people can go to black colleges. Isn't that how things are except the other way around? Isn't most tv shows have white people with a couple of black people, aren't the majority of colleges white with some minorities? So why is it when whites are the minority they call it racist? Whites are still included its just not focused on them. Black history month is also dedicated to Lincoln who is white because we chose the month of his birthday(february) because he did a lot for african americans. African americans shouldn't be in St Patrick's day cuz its not really about african americans, i really don't mind the day, sometimes i wear green to school but it seems like white people are really bothered by bhm when they shouldn't be because its not a celebration of color its a celebration of culture. The world hasn't changed as much as you think it has, racism if very hidden therefore a lot of black people are still sensitive to racial things. And then when we try to say something we are told to get over it because slavery is over and racism is practically gone in most peoples minds. If we are complaining about something its because we are fustrated.
