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 "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.
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, yet 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?

Sounds like you are a racist. So what if there is a Black College or scholarships dedicated to minorities. On cable T.V., there are all kinds of channels that are run by white people and there's only ONE channel that is run by black people. You have no idea what minorities have to go through just to get to where they're at today. Anybody can be a racist, not matter what color they are. People look at particular situations differently. For example: do you remember the Rodney King riot during the early 1990's? It was not a racist act, it was police brutality and I believed that it was. May be there should be a holiday dedicated to "white" people. I am proud of being an African American living in this country. We do not live in Iraq where people are getting killed left and right. You have every right to feel how you want to feel but keep in mind: choose your words very, very carefully because you'll make yourself look like a racist, which you are by the way.

good for you! you must have put in a lot of though for that, so here is the deal.....to me you do kinda sound racists the fact of the matter is we are all humans God made us all...some of us just happen to be different colors but our blood is all the same color. We as "whites" will never be able to understand the challenges that other races have gone through; you should be supportive of what they have overcome and be grateful that we all live in America and not in a war torn country like Iraq.

The past. Plain and painstakingly true. Even though the times have past in which our ancestors did any wrong is gone... we're still paying for their damage. No, we are not racist.. not anymore, but those who were set a really bad picture of us to everyone not of our race.
