A deli owner in Flemington, New Jersey, has angered many of his neighbors by posting a sign on his window that reads, "Celebrate Your White Heritage in March White History Month."

Jim Boggess, who is the owner of Jimbo's Deli, says he put up the sign to remind everyone that they should be proud of their race and culture.

"No matter what you are -- Muslim, Jewish, black, white, gay, straight -- you should be proud of what you are. I shouldn't have to feel bad about being white," Boggess reportedly told NJ.com....

Curtis said the sign mocked Black History Month and that the way the T in "White" had been crossed -- in the middle of the letter instead of at the top of it -- made it look similar to the way the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacist groups crossed their T's. The mark he was referring to has since been changed.

1. one American cheese and mayonnaise on white to go please

and a large white milk. And vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Just celebrating my heritage.


Just kidding. American cheese is not really cheese.

But then white bread is not really bread.

2. Needless to say but ~ This isn't going to bode well.

3. Why does every sign showing nonsense done

So poorly in display? Seriously every sign with bigotry or dumb saying looks like it is done like a five year old at best.

4. It's White History Month? Finally!

Let me get my Journey albums out, and then we can start debating the Oxford Comma while watching hockey and eating tofu fajitas.

Maybe we'll have time to do some calculus when the game is over.

5. As long as the Canadiens or the Flyers aren't playing

And both PK Subban and Wayne Simmonds are outstanding players!

10. does he give history lessons?

I would like to hear his take on the Trail of Tears, the bombing of Nagasaki, Selma, and about one hundred other things.

I really like history, I just don't like the way it was taught to me in school.
