How many are actually paying attention to these facts?
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 sometimes sneer in my direction.
You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman" .. and that's OK.
But when I call you the n-word, Kike, Towel head, 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 to be white. But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that ONLY whites can be racists?

Oh get off that yester-year crap with your slavery and "it's hard to forget". stuff. You were NOT around then and don't even act as though you were. You have all the opportunities in the world.

No, actually I think you are a closeted racist. Honestly, I have thought the way you do sometimes even though I am a minority. Through the years I have come to a conclusion... if we don't make an effort to be included and recognized we won't be. I mean honestly, how many minorities would be where they are if they didn't have some sort of andvantage.... such as the NAACP. We have BET, so what, every other station is WET. And we have Black History Month (the shortest month of the year) you have 11 other months to celebrate white history. (I think all nationalities should have their own month) And their is no such thing as a regular American. The only ones who actually have stake over this land are Native Americans. They are the true Americans. The rest of us immigrated over here, and at one point in time every nationality was discriminated against. When the Germans and Italians first got here they were highly prejudiced against. Colored individuals (Blacks, Latinos, Asians, etc) have the stigma of their skin color that will always hold them back. Its the truth. Its huiman nature to make assumptions.
Oh, and I just wanted to add, not EVERYONE thinks that way. Its not really fair to group us ALL into one category just because some blacks, latinos, asians, etc may think that way.
And to be honest there ARE alot of truly racist whites. (Yes, I know not all of you and it may just be a minority of you) But this had to come from somewhere. Every rumor comes from a little bit of truth.

Well, there isn't a white history month because we're LIVING in white history. Also, african americans, native americans, etc., today are still overcoming a struggle that started a long while ago and it seems that caucasians(as a people) never had to come over any of the hardships that other races have had to face, we conduct organizations to advance our lives because of the opression,hun, White people are main stream America and unfortunatley, favortism is held to them. Now I'm not saying its right for people to automatically assume you are a racist, or to call you a cracker or anything, because in fact in most intances that IS racism. Not all people who aren't white think that racism is only held to people of color. And although you're not a racist, I detect a hint of a rasict comment in there. Why is that when you used an example of violence, you used "carjack" and "shoot at us", for black people but you used an example of authority for white people?I'm not calling you a racist but what you stated was...iffy. And a lot of people of color(i'm not talking just about black people)believe that there is nothing wrong with a person being a proud of WHO YOU ARE. Just like you should love yourself if you're black,native american or hispanic, you should love yourself if you're white.

totally true and I always thought that but I guess it's because african americans used to be a minority, and were treated awfully, so I guess everyone's in a rush to make sure that something like slavery doesn't happen again.
And btw, yom hashoah has zero to do with blacks- shoah is the hebrew word for the holocaust.

You are a closet racist.
You could never know what its like to even from an early age be excluded and singled out because of something as simple as the color of your skin.
For future reference if it doen't specify a race it means WHITE

i totally agree with you. but people will always hold on to stuff that happens in the past. and until we can get over the past it will always be around to cause problems for us in the future. so unless everyone stops holding grudges we will always have this problem and it will only get worst.

i didnt call you a racist teehee :D
but ok i guess since whites can be considered the racists ones well because ....they were really racist at one time well not at one time but along time until the civil rights thing :)
the "white" people are the ones who started the whole slavery thing, and thinking that if you were darker then a piece a paper in their old terms then you needed to get your a** and work for them. Yeah but now slavery is over and there's laws that say you cant discriminate a person on his color or race. But think about the KKK theres one white folks club ..........thats horrid. kkk and there still around those Motherf******sorrry for the language but now i was watching COPS the other day and now this is what the cops did....
they put a bike in the middle of a sidewalk in a poor ghetto black neighborhood and waited for somebody to take it.....and in like 10 mins this black guy took it cause it had no locks on it and he thought it was just there for anyone :( but then the cops arrested him thats bootleg of corse they know anyone wouldve taken it in that kind of neighbrhood everyones poor :( and but they dont go and put a nice bike ina white beverly hills or trailer park area.....HOW NICE
OK so yeah theres black hispanic clubs and things but no specifacally white clubs or etc. OH shush white people already have their channels their clubs...they have everything...and can be included in anything duh....they just make and say afro or hispanic this cause we used to be excluded and discriminated against things ..........so now we gotta be proud of who we are . WHITE PRIDE....um thats like saying white or nothing/ Black pride we say that cause we are proud of wo we are even though we were put through years and years of back whipping slavery OKKK white people didnt go through s***. white people are usually always bornwith a gold spoon in their mouth they have the oppourtunity to get anything they want, any job, any school any whatever. people still discriminate blacks and hispanics and asians and everyone else.....but theirs racists in ever culture just remember that.and its hard to forget what the white folks did to everyone else years ago. Ohh just be quiet! how annoying now white people are saying black and hispanic etc people are treating them with disrespect urrrrrr ohh and flip every channel there's white entertainment everywhere gosh, and in commerxcials too :) dont get mad be glad and if your proud to be white isnt that proud th be an "american:"
Uhh ok now...my grandparents had to go through the whole segregation thing. yes i...didnt go through that but it hurts my feelings still :( can someone understand me please...no im not a racist...no by this answer i gave it doesnt mean i hate white people. yes this question/answer? bothered me some but i gave my opinion alright! :D
***Oh and mr.erkdaryl.... whats with posting this!!! kind'of question...... and then in your about me thingy :) in your profile you have this to say about yourself.......... not to be a b**** but this question made me unhappy and you say your CARING ?:D
