Stop Racism
A BLACK MAN WALKS INTO A CAFE EARLY ONE MORNING AND NOTICES HE'S THE ONLY ONE THERE
AS HE SAT DOWN HE NOTICED A WHITE MAN SAT BEHIND HIM, THE WHITE MAN SAID COLOURED PEOPLE ARN'T ALLOWED IN HERE" .
THE BLACK MAN REPLIED...
"WHEN I WAS BORN I WAS BLACK
WHEN I GREW UP I WAS BLACK
WHEN I'M SICK I'M BLACK
WHEN I GO IN THE SUN I'M BLACK
WHEN I'M COLD I'M BLACK
AND WHEN I DIE I'M BLACK.
BUT YOU SIR...
WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOU WERE PINK
WHEN YOUR'E SICK YOUR'E GREEN
WHEN YOU STAY IN THE SUN YOUR'E RED
WHEN YOUR'E COLD YOU TURN BLUE
AND WHEN YOU DIE YOU TURN PURPLE.
"AND YET YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME COLOURED
THE BLACK MAN TURNED BACK AROUND AND THE WHITE MAN WALKED AWAY

Nice story also the one about the woman on the plane but your missing a point here we are all equal but some groups of people set themselves up for problems
Sing if your pround to be Gay - "Am I bovered " I do not need to know your sexual preferences to like or disk like you
MOBO's - Really with most of the current music either being coveres or sung by Blacks what is the point (When do we se the MOWO's?)
Muslim council of Great Britain - Surely the Government is the head of state who's appointment all the population can vote for not some single point pressure group?
Cant you all just get on with it and stop trying to pretend that your somehow being picked on 30 years ago perhap but not now!

I'm white English and i found that funny,but i think the difference is a lot of times between blacks and especially Asians[well Muslims actually] is they cant laugh at themselves.if a black guy makes a good joke about a white guy i can laugh at it.but Muslims[yes i know a cult not a colour] just cant get it.PS see delirious ,eddy Murphy.PMSl at that and he took the piss out of us Whites.not a problem people need to lighten up.

Nice joke, but just a joke, It wouldn't happen in real life.
Racism is a big problem worldwide, but discrimination is even worse. I have lived in black Africa and it's there's no racism out there but tribalism; believe me it's worse. Then there is sexism, religious discrimination, etc....
We need to learn and understand that we can never all be the same and it is our diversity that makes us strong. We must recognise that who and what we are is nothing but an accident of birth and therefore treat everyone nicely bearing in mind, that that person could well have been you.

That was one of the greatest things I have read in a while. And how true it is. People are the same inside. We all have dreams and fears and its a tough world out there. Not everyone is so narrow minded as that white man in your story.

I think the story would appeal to a black person, but all I can think is this is another example of how SOME black people act like they want to be totally accepted into society, all the while pointing out how they are so different from everyone else.

I have another one
An old white racist woman was sitting beside a black man in an airplane. She called the stewardess and told her "I cant sit beside this black man. Please give me a seat somewhere else."
The stewardess replied "I'll talk to the captain about it" and went to the cockpit.
A few minutes later she returned and told them "The captain has said it must be horrible sitting beside someone so revolting. He has agreed to let you sit in first class"
All the people around them were looking at her incredulously
Then she took the arm of the black man and said "Come on sir. I'll bring your hand baggage to your seat in first class"

Well if we all stop going on about 'colour' then there would be no issue created about this would there?
And the 'Black' man sounds equally as racist as the 'White' man.

The best way to get rid of racism would be to stop pointing out that there is a difference between people of different creeds.
