Ha, ha, ha...
I like the title and the idea that we should make a holiday called White Pride Day, to distinguish it from the other three hundred and sixty-four days of color. Sounds like the title of a song that would be written by Paul Simon.

Hello, Geezer,
I feel the need to express what this poem means to me, although your interpretation is wonderful. I'm troubled with the removal of diversity, including the street art of Florida recently. This may change how you feel with its context, but I still appreciate your reading and responding.
Thank you!

Nope...
no change, as a matter of fact, my reply is in line with celebrating diversity, and I am all for keeping street-art and other means of recognition in their respective neighborhoods, as long as it is in good taste and doesn't promote violence. I am a big fan of murals and graffiti that celebrate ethnic culture. Just do it responsibly; do not deface public buildings and make it beautiful. ~ Geez.

Pride
I like the idea. Maybe the last line could read instead of 364

Hello, Ray,
Thank you for your suggestion and reading. I very much want the focus on color - inclusion, diversity. I've added a hyphen to give it a bit of breathing room for the senryu to take a turn and be recognized.
Thank you, again!
