I was sent this in my email, Who is a Racist??

Question

I am far from a racist, I have more black friends than white, I am very proud but would not forward this email... was wondering how many would?

Someone else besides me finally said it. How many are actually paying
attention to this?


There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab
Americans, Native Americans, ect. and then there are just Americans.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me
"Whiteboy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman" and that's OK.


But when I call you, ******, Kike, Towelhead, Sand-******, Camel
Jockey, Beaner, ****, 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. & gt;> 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.


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
Colleges in the US, ye t if there were "White 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 orange, 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 running
from the law and posing a threat to 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 email.


Let's see which of you are proud enough to forward it.

Answer 1

Well they are racist, and so are black people, but the reason why black people feel it most is due to slavery. Black people are still slaves, slaves in the mind because of the white /european belief system, that is why blacks straighten their hair bleach their skin, instead of being proud like you are, they are stuck in the slavery mechanism.

I am black and I am proud, I am not racist, because God made us all with different coulurs, sizes personalities, if everyone in the world was the same it would be a very boring place. So no matter what race, colour or creed we are we should be proud and stand up for ourselves, stop critisinig others and ourselves and this world would be a better place.

Answer 2

what is your question exactly??? And by the way your comment about you having black friends but not being a racist is completely irrelevant and stereotypical. Its like somebody saying' Im not racist but I would never let my son or daughter go out with a black man/women' I have absolutely no comments on this so called email someone is supposedly forward it to you. Its a whole debate issue which opens up a can of worms. I would not forward this email to my friends because it has no information likely to brighten someones day, its pointless and can be seen as racist so the answer is NO

Answer 3

I wouldn't forward that because it sounds like an angry rant but it does make a few notice the few good points it's true that we can't have scholarships for white students in the United States but every other race has them I am far from a racist my children are half mexican but I am real and while no I wouldn't affix my name to an angry rant I do understand where that message came from.

Answer 4

Racism will only disappear when everyone is accorded the same rights, dignity and freedom under law.

The so called fight against racism has actually made the word black a dirty word that cannot be used!!!! Why oh why did they not fight to make it a good acceptable word?

Time for people and particularly politicians and lawyers to stop posturing and use common sense to make us all equal with no distinction to colour, race or creed!!!

Answer 5

Wow, that's quite an email!
Personally, I would not forward that email. My race or nationality is nobody else's business but mine. I am proud of my heritage and background. But part of being a good citizen is to have an open mind. I wish everyone could be so open.

Answer 6

you're waiting to handle the balloting difficulty, relatively in case you will get no longer user-friendly info. regarding the emails, i does no longer hardship. on an identical time as this is truthfully incorrect in my e book to jot down/deliver or maybe think of racist emails, this is not inevitably unlawful, neither is it some thing that college in all possibility desires to dive into, because it includes some complicated privateness subject concerns.

Answer 7

I would. However I find the term american misleading as all of you are immigrants from europe. And have your own ethnic idenities. I see nothing wrong in being proud of who you are and where you came from. Uk citizen and English not British. But on our census forms I am white or white other? So we have to tick white other and write English. How bad is that.!!!!!

Answer 8

As messed up as this sounds some of the stuff is true...I am not a racist either...but dont you think that there is some truth in it...now with that said...blacks did have to make their way here and we refused at first...also think about this...women couldn't vote or have freedom of speech either.. so does this make men racist of us...

Answer 9

You don't need a White History Month. The other 11 months teach white history.

Answer 10

i am black myself and i feel that alot of things that were said in that email were true it could have been said diffrently but the fact is that's the way it is and some one should say something because it's really not fair to any race
