This is old, but true?[views:2640][posts:19]________________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 8:56pm - Fleshfries nli ""] I saw this floating around on Myspace...got a kick out of it. Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc. ...And then there are just - Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You Call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman,' ...And that's OK. But when I call you Nigger, Kyke, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink, ...You call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Hispanic History Month. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Asian History Month. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Kawanza. You have the NAACP. And you have BET. If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) ...We'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day ...You would call us racists. If we had White History Month ...We'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, ...We'd be racists. We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that? If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships ...You know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly-proclaimed Black-only Colleges in the US, yet if there were 'White-only Colleges' ...THAT would be a racist college. In the Million-Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, ...You would call us racists. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and red, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride ...You call us racists. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer who is running from the LAW and posing a threat to ALL of society ...You call him a racist. I am proud. ...But, you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists? There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on... |

| _____________________________ [Feb 5,2008 9:04pm - Lamp ""] There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans. This is total backwards logic to me. The fact that white people just get called "Americans" represents an implication that Americans are white people and that all other races are not good enough to be true Americans. We should drop the race labels because we're all just Americans here, who gives a shit about nationality. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman" . and that's OK. But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ... you call me a racist. I think the writer of this blog is trying to agree that it's all racism, which I agree with. The problem to me is why are you calling people these names in the first place? Who cares? You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? This annoys me just based on the fact that it implies that white people don't ever live in ghettos. This is not a race issue, this is a financial issue. There are rich minorities and there are poor white people. When you're born into a life where you can't afford a college education no matter how well you do in grade school, then have to work a shit job that pays shit because the rich employers will barely dish out more than minimum wage, are unable to find a decent place to live because you can't get a good paying job, let's see how you like living in the ghetto. You might not have as much of a choice as you think and I can't really blame people for being pissed off that they live in a bad area with no way to get out. You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET. If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) . we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day .. you would call us racists. If we had White History Month .. we'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" OUR lives . we'd be racists. Yeah, but white people also have Columbus Day, Presidents Day(celebrating white male presidents), Christmas, the 4th of July and Thanksgiving(to celebrate achievements made by white people). There may be Black History Month but when that ends, the other 11 months of the year are White History Year. When was the last time you opened a high school history book and saw any history on Native Americans or Africans? Why do the cirriculums teach World History but skip all the chapters on China? You have "world history" touted to you like Europe is the world, and then later all the lands that people from Europe colonized. You have US history that teaches cute little stories about the nice American settlers duping the stupid Native American savages into selling the island of Manhattan for 42 cents or whatever. Most sitcoms on television are already dedicated to white people anyway. Yeah, so there's Chapelle Show, Mind of Mencia, the George Lopez show, Diff'rent Strokes, Good Times...compare that to how many sitcoms there have been about white people? There is no need for a "White History Month" because we're already inundated with white history. Jewish holidays like Hanukkah and Passover don't warrant time off school but Christmas does. And I've never even heard of this Cesar Chavez Day shit, find me a calendar where that shows up and then tell me who gets that day off school or work. We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that? Once again, this is backwards logic. It implies that other races are not good enough to be part of the regular Chamber of Commerce with white people. That white people are so distinguished and accepted that they don't need to have "White Chamber of Commerce" as their title. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships ... you know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US , yet if there were "White colleges" ... THAT would be a racist college. There was actually a Whites only scholarship for a school right here in my home state of Rhode Island, here's an article about it: http://www.cnn.com/2004/EDUCATION/02/15/whites.only.ap/ Racist? Yes, it is. But I guess I have to agree that it's no more racist than any other type of scholarship out there based on race. In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists. There has never been a reason for white people to march for their race or rights. There has never been a time in American history where white people didn't have their rights. Andrew Jackson may have been touting "Let the people rule!" during his presidency, but women, blacks, and Native Americans weren't allowed to vote. So what does that say about humans who weren't white males? You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride ... you call us racists. A person who has pride in their race is a person who has accomplished nothing in life to be truly proud of. It takes no effort to be born a certain way. You may be angry that people had to fight for their equal rights with proclamations of pride, but fighting back with proclamations of your own white pride is not any better, and it's even worse when you already had your rights to begin with and you act like they're somehow threatened when white people are still the majority in this country. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society . you call him a racist. This one again implies that all minorities commit crimes, or that all people who commit crimes are minorities. There are white robbers, carjackers, snipers, drug dealers, and threats to society. This is not a race issue. This is a personality issue. I am proud. But, you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists? If you agreed with this blog, you are a racist. Any person of any race is capable of being a racist, but it's easiest for a white person to be a racist. After all, they do have the highest percent of the population in this country. Think of how much easier it is for a white person to be surrounded by all white people than it is for a person of color to be surrounded by all people of the same color. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 9:04pm - Fleshfries nli ""] I think this promotes racism if anything...I try to look at humans as humans, not colors, you know? |
| _____________________________ [Feb 5,2008 9:07pm - Lamp ""] It most certainly promotes racism, considering the implications in the blog that all people of color live in ghettos and carjack and rob everybody who's white. |
