are white people really racist?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Whites are not more racist than others!

Answer 2

NO! not all white is racistI am not white, but I do agree with you about lot of things. I think the reason is that "White people'' is been considered the superior race for quite some time so minorities always assumed that they are racist.In a lot of mtv videos of white celebrities, you will always see black people there, but the black rappers seldom include white women in their videos. Asians can be discriminating too,,I can say that(especially the chinese) because I have experienced that..The thing is, everybody can be a racist, black,white,brown or yellow..because it is a human nature to be one..Kinda sad but true?have you watched the movie CRASH? you'll see how the different race of people react to each other.

Answer 3

i dont think ur racist because i... well not extrmley though, think that sumtimes too... i am not racist have many friends of different races and i hate racist people... but i say the same thing... when racism is thought of by the average person it usually means white people hating black people and then when thought about more mexican arab native american indian so on and so forth comes into mind... but then again people dont take in how many racist people there are against white people... racism is still a problem in our world today but when you think about it... in this country it is allowed for people of other races to be proud of thier race while putting white people down... racism from whites to others is bad in other parts of the country but in america it seems like white people get it too... im not saying white people have it worse but its still racist for a person of other race to call a white man a "honkey" or so on and so forth... so yes it is a little odd but i think that its a wrong perspective of thinking racism is just whites hating people of other races... it is any race that can present racism... this is just what i think... and yes the world is messed up with this racist crap and its real stupid.

Answer 4

i have to agree with everyone else. although many people assume that all whites are racists, in fact everyone is racist. all races have stereotypes and generalizations about others that are not like them. the fact that you are so concentrated on it shows that perhaps you think about it too much.

i know i am not racist and that is all i need to know. although you have touched on a good point. many believe that it is okay to call white people names but it is not okay for them to be called names. but i stick with the thought that those who truly believe in equality don't call anyone names.

i have no need to generalize or stereotype any other race by using derogatory terms. and i know that those of other races who feel the same as me will not call me a derogatory name.

Answer 5

I agree with Rabid. For that very reason we are in a America but we are world minority but in reality it the majority. There is nothing wrong with being proud, its when it's offensive thats when its a problem. Why would I want to call someone of there name? I wouldn't dare call anyone a cracker or a ching or anything like that because it's offensive.

Answer 6

As white people we have in the past had slaves of other colors so now we must be extra sensitive of the feelings of other race's as not to repeat history. Horrible things have been done on our white part that has given us this treatment. We must respect the other races for all that they have endured. Besides why would you want to disrespect another human being by their race. To me we are all one race, the human race.

Answer 7

Majority of white folks are very prejudice(racist).Let me explain to you how this is outrageously true! Emmett Till (BLACK):He was lynched by TWO WHITE MEN when they were told by a white woman that while she was in a store he whistled at her!!! It wasn't even that serious enough to beat him until he bled to death and then throw him in a river!!! Before Martin Luther King Jr. had a speech blacks were being treated like dirt, we were being kicked around, lynched(hanged), and burned by the KKK(that's the people you claim are not racist)Nowadays y'all try do dress like us, rap like us, dance,and just plain try to be us! If we looked at your kind in the wrong way we were hung by a tree!! I bet you didn't know that by 1880 and 1945, nearly 600 BLACK (notice that I say BLACK) men, woman, and children were lynched in probably the most racist state of MISSISSIPPI alone!! So don't you EVER call us racist because certain BLACK folks call you racist. Are you jealous that we have BET would you like a WET channel?????????? For someone to post something like that..........YOU MUST BE RACIST!!!!!!!

Call me racist if you want, but I just spoke the truth!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

let me tell you when i became aware of racism. shortly after i got out of the Marines, i tried to enter law enforcement. i applied for the Texas Highway Patrol. went through all the interviews and background searches. passed with flying colors might i add. my officer assigned to me told me in private." Gary you are one of the most qualified people i have interviewed in a long time. don,t let this keep you from trying again,but of the record , we are only hiring blacks, women and other minorities." needless to say i didn't reapply. after that i became aware of how white males over 22 are the highest form of minority you can get. the hell with all you " i am black and need help. sounds like New Orleans...huh

Answer 9

What do u mean just americans?there are no"just americans"!!!
the REAL and ONLY Americans in this country are the native ones,
and i dont wonder why everyone has it in their blood to feel hate for the white race,just look a little back in history boy.
