"Blank" History Month

I want to understand something and I hope someone out there can help me out.
Everyone, regardless of Race, Gender, Sexual preference, religion and so on, is Equal. This is a statement that the government, businesses, schools, public groups, and society as a whole want us to agree with and support. I get that and I think it's a great way to live life. There should be no judgements of others based on these groups. It's what made America the destination location of MILLIONS of people all over the world.


With that in mind I offer up the following;
NAACP: Organization that works for the betterment of Black Americans
GLAD: Organization that works for the betterment of Gay and Lesbian Americans
NOW: Organization that works for the betterment of Women in America
All organizations established to raise awaremenss of these groups equality in America

We also have;
Black History Month: This month was established to celebrate the contributions Black's have made to America over the years.

Women's History Month: This month was established to celebrate the contributions Women have made to America over the years.

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month: This month was established to celebrate the contributions Asian and Pacific Americans have made to America over the years.

There are many more state and localized "___" History month, or week and I'm sure you can guess what they all celebrate.

My point is simply this; Why separate yourself as a group from society in order to establish yourself as an important part of society? I understand that MANY groups have been treated poorly and these groups and special heritage months were established to educate people that were otherwiseignorant or intollerant.

Here's what I would like to propose; IAAM (I am).
IAAM is open to all people. It does not matter if you are black, asian, white, or purple. It does not matter if you're a man, woman, dog or otherwise. You can even be any religion and can screw any gender you choose.
IAAM supports young and old, employed or unemployed. IAAM even recognizes legal and illegal residents.

I have to admit that I believe I am the most qualified to lead IAAM.
First of all, it's my idea. Second, I'm the one who came up with the rules and guidelines.
You see, IAAM is the International Acceptance of Assholes Movement. ANYONE can be an asshole, and many people often are. Almost all of the organizations above have shown that they are assholes themselves by not accepting other races, genders or beliefs into their groups. GREAT! I guess that means they already accept the basic principals of IAAM in that it is recognized that ANYONE can be an asshole.

I honestly feel that Assholes are trated unfairly.
Think about it, there is blatant discrimination here;

"Don't invite him! He's an asshole!"
"We can't hire him, he's an asshole."
"I don't care how hard he works, I'm not giving him a raise because he's an asshole."

I know that lots of people will say, "It's their own fault. They shouldn't be assholes!" Really? That doesn't work with anyone else;
You can't ask a black person not be black.
You can't tell a gay person not to be gay.

Hell, we even have special groups for people who are "Slow", or as the PC world has taught (forced) us to say, learning disabled.

To sum everything up, we cannot be mean to, discriminate against, or otherwise dislike someone just because they are Male or Female, any certain race, have any religious or sexual preference, or even if they are stupid but we CAN discrimiate against them if they are assholes? It's often the fault of all of these other people that people become assholes in the first place. They are lucky we aren't suing them for CAUSING our condition.

I understand it's a radical view that will take time to catch on, which is why I propose IAAM. After all, it's not that this isn't a popular view, it's just that not many assholes out there have the courage to say it out loud.
