Not trying to start an argument here but why is it that in movies and on tv african americans can say the most racists things about white people and any other race and there is no problem. But when a white person says any thing about any other race it starts a war

This was sent to me in an e mail. I agree with what it is saying





You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You call me "Whiteboy", "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it'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 Miss Black America.
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 Miss White America, we'd be 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.
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?

Because our ancestors made huge mistakes and owned slaves and imprisoned the Japanese in camps and persecute the Mexican aliens, etc... We are not a forgiven race. It is a way for other races to empower and separate themselves from us, when all "whitey" wants is to get rid of the word ***** and let go of a past that is not anything WE did personally.

All I can do is laugh at how true this is. I am black and I never thought of it this way. Seriously though, it's wrong to make racist remarks no matter what your race.

I agree. I think it is all a bunch of Horse sh_t! I notice stuff not even to that severity.....if a white person calls a person black, then they get mad and demand to be called African American, but if they want to call us white vs. Caucasian...we don't care??? Racism sucks either way you look at it. It is always going to be there because someone keeps throwing it up in one way shape or form.

This is because of the past with the tension between whites and other races.

It's called reverse racism. But African Americans don't think there is such a thing.

White people dont know how good they have it actually. In a group of white people only i think you would have no problem speaking your mind. The fact you cant speak your mind around other races is because you know your talking sh it.
