You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK. But when I call you Kike, Towelhead, WOP, Sand-******, Camel Jockey, ****, ****** 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 ***** 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 an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives... we'd be racists. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...you know we'd be racists. 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. Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them... they all got sent to court for being racist but the african-american, latino, and asia clubs were not even questioned. 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. I am white. I am proud. Why is it that only whites can be racists?

I have many muslim friends, so I don't know what what this "down on" business is about.
White men from Christendom did take aboriginal land, usually by cheating them in treaties, it is true. But then, some of the staunchest defenders of the native people were the Catholic priests who lived with them, like St. Jean de Brebeuf.
As to slavery, the guilty are not few, nor are they all Christian. Islamic merchants in Cameroon were among the ones who sold the people into slavery. And you'd do well to learn about the Underground Railroad, largely operated by Christians of conscience. Not that Christians are without blame in the runup to abolition, but the story is nowhere nearly as "the Christians were the bad guys" as many uneducated people sometimes characterize it - the whole "promised land" motif of the Underground Railroad was straight out of the book of Exodus.
You'd do well to learn a bit about how history _actually_ happened before jumping up and down too much about it.

1) Christians don't "think" down on anyone. They accept all people regardless of race, color, creed.
2) The Indians..yeah they got screwed by the "white man".
3) Whites didn't steal Africans...they purchased them. From other Africans.
And why is there a current hate towards the Muslims? They claim to be a peaceful religion, yet they are killing thier own people, by using car bombs on markets and mosques?
Kill people on TV?
SOME of the Muslim population hs hated the west for YEARS. Prior to President Bush (Iraian hostages??)
And the reason is this. At one point in history the Muslim Nations were the most power full in the world (riches, armies, education). The US and other western countries are young compared to the Middle East, and now they are the most powerful and rich. It is for that reason, that the leader of the more terroristic groups are claiming Jihad on the Western World.
Will these clerics and leaders go to fight themselves? No because they know the truth!!

Being white and being Christian are not the same thing. I know much of the rest of the world equates being "American" with being "Christian," but this is grossly mistaken. Most Americans would either be offended or indifferent at that association. Everything America does is not the same as "everything Christianity does." People in other countries watch MTV and assume that's Christianity. It's not. It's America.
I am a Christian and I know this country was not founded as a Christian nation. It was founded as a free nation, and they just happened to use some biblical principles in the formation of their laws. But it's not a Christian nation.
Just trying to clear up the confusion.

I am a white American, and basically follow what Jesus tried to teach which was Love. I do not hate Muslims. Not all Muslims are terrorists. History does repeat itself and there is nothing new under the sun. We were and have been wrong many times. Now some of your people are wrong. It seems humans never learn.

Christians don't look down on Muslims or any other culture, you must understand that a lot of people live behind the word "i am a Christian" but are they really - and a lot of people use Christianity as a crutch to try to explain away certain deeds that have been done. We dont hate people but we can hate the deeds that they do and there is a big difference in that..

Check your facts, read something with proof... Then you may be allowed to question!!! Do you have any idea of the depth of horrifying massacre that Hitler forced upon people??? y the way, it has nothing to do with being white or Christian; it is a choice of individual abhoration... You are so ignorant, not to mention a gigantic hypocrite!

Other Blacks in Africa sold slaves to us. They were not stolen, just betrayed by their own people. Gold had just been discovered and they wanted their piece of the pie.
Does anybody else find it hard to read his broken English and constant bad spelling?

Are you trying to justify terrorism? Do you think that any of the ugly things in the past, regardless of how you've distorted them, justify ugly act of man's disrespect and slaugher of man today?
Does it make it right?
