Am I racist?

Question

You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK.
But if I called you Kike, Towelhead, WOP, Sand-******, Camel Jockey, ****, ****** or Chink you would 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 Ma'uled Al-Nabi
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.
You have Cinco De Mayo
The Miss Black America Pageant
If we had WET(white entertainment television) ...we'd be racist.
If we had a White Pride Day... you would call us racist.
If we had white history month... we'd be racist.
If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives... we'd be racist.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...you know we'd be racist.
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 racist.
Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them?... they all got sent to court for being racist but the african-american, latino, and asia clubs were not even questioned.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But if we announced our white pride, you would call us racists.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?


Now watch, I'll be a racist for posting this.

Answer 1

i don't think your racist, i think you have a very good question that needs to be answered. i see many haters on this page, but obivously they don't see the other side of the page. did you know that Al Sharpton is racist? the man is more racist then whites! but he don't admit it, did you know that Jesse Jackson spit on Martin Luther King's grave? why would he do that, since Martin Luther King is the one who stood for black rights and tried to get whites and blacks to get along. i can totally understand where your coming from. When that girl said she was raped by the lacrosse players and came running to Al Sharpton, she knew of exactly how he was going to react, she said it was a couple of white guys who attacked her, he however when on a rampage and started to accuse them without any facts or information saying they did. oh wait more, it comes to find out that they didn't rape the girl, and Al Sharpton didn't apologize for his outrage? don't u think he should since he had assumption that was made to be totally incorrect because the idiot girl thought it would be a great controversey and publicity. great now i'm angry.
i will back you up on this 100%!

Answer 2

Don't you think whites have had enough days? By "days" I mean times, places and events where other races were not included because they were not welcome. Back then, whites didn't want equality, they wanted to stay in control. It's okay to be proud of your heritage. African is not a nationality, because Africa is not a country. It's a continent. Actually, African-American, white american, black american, hispanic-american, asian-american, etc., are all misnomers. A nationality requires a nation, not a country, or skin color. Everyone should be proud of who they are. Your color or nationality does not determine that. I'm not sure if you are a racist. I can't make that judgment. But if you keep focusing on these topics, you could easily be labeled as one. And did the African-american or latino clubs forbid others to join? Did the white-only? If the guidelines were equal, (and I am a black man), then being taken to court was wrong. Unfortunately, all things are still not equal. There are counties today in the state where I live where it is KNOWN AND PUBLICIZED that I probably shouldn't go if I know what is good for me. Don't think that people of color are railing against a non-existent threat. It's real, and that's why we're still fighting for equality, and maybe something of our own for a change.

Answer 3

Yes, you are a racist for posting this.
1.) If you don't live in the ghetto, you don't know how dangerous it is. If you aren't aware, Virginia Tech just had 33 people die in one day and I'm sure that hasn't happened in the ghetto, so do I have the right to say that college is the most dangerous place? No. Get your facts straight.
2.) Martin Luther King day...you are also aware of Presidents Day (they are all white).
3.) Black History Month...Blacks get February which is the shortest month so they are even given the short straw on this one. There are 12 months and whites get the other 11. How about this? I'm Native American and whites came and stole my ancestors land and Native American History only lasts for a week...
4.) Muslim Holidays are not celebrated nationally in the US which technically is wrong because freedom of religion should include national celebration of religious holidays for ALL religions.
5.) BET...let's see, whites get MTV, FOX, CBS, NBC...should I keep going. If you think that there are not white people on BET, then you should watch it sometime.
6.) I'd love to see your proof of the white's only clubs in high school having to go to court.
7.) Blacks and college...There are black colleges all over the US and guess what...Whites get scholarships to go there and are considered minorities on those campuses.

You need to get a clue. Not only are you racist, but you are also very ignorant.

Answer 4

Okay let's see were should I start? I can only speak for the black stuff u spoke about because that's were I live so as for BET, you have the rest of the TV every other channel caters to you. Black History Month- we celebrate you the rest of the year let us have something. NAACP- you support you own so let us do the same while we can. Million Man March- No one said you could not come, you just did not show up. Any type of scholarship fund- you probably could get in just about any were you wanted we would have to work our buts off, can't we relax a minute? Miss Black America Pageant- Why can't we have that you have Miss America all to yourself. And as for any clubs you have in you high school ask them, why they want it, one black person can't answer for the whole race. We don't think a like. No I don't think you are racist you are just the norm.

Answer 5

White people control nearly everything and things would get hectic if we had "WET," White Pride Day, and all that. It would be like giving rich people a few brand new cars. They've already got a lot, why give them more? It wouldn't be racist though. Maybe white groups are seen as racist because they have had racist groups in the past (The KKK and such.) So why don't you start something for white people and see how it goes? And when you're accused of being racist you can say "But all the other ethnicities have them." Let us know how that works.

Answer 6

The Blacks have the NAACP and the Black Panthers, and all we get is the KKK? That sucks. The KKK are pretty poor representatives of the many caucasoid races, who are for some reason discouraged from promoting caucaisian interests.
There is even a case of a college scholorship being set up for "anyone with 1/4 caucasian ancestry" that apparrently caused quite an uproar amogst people who supported scholorships for any other ethnicity (see link below.)

I think this reaction is a fine example of what people are fond of calling "reverse racism" a term that is supposed to make it Okay, I guess, even though its just pure racism...

Answer 7

The pride that is felt about belonging to a minority is needed to counteract the discrimination which that group has already experienced.
I remember thinking similar thoughts, maybe not as strongly as you, but similar, when I was in university. I knew two black, feminists who always seemed to making an issue about what they were. I thought "I think you are normal, so why are you trying to make me see you as otherwise?"
I was not aware of the discrimination they really did have in their lives.
Now I myself belong to a minority, and I experience discrimination daily. Now I understand how important it is for all of these "clubs" to exist. If the racism really disappears, so will these clubs.

Answer 8

Geesh you are so worked up over this. Take a deep breath and count to 10. Now when someone maligns you with an "ad hominem" attack, what you do is deflect that comment with your adroit rhetorical skill. Simply do not respond directly to such a remark but talk about your own issues. And do take a deep breath and count...`1, 2, 3, 4, ....your blood pressure is returning to normal.....

Answer 9

I don't think you're a racist, you are just plain "blind" and confused. Whites do not have a "white history month", however, American history, as is tough in school is about white people, black people are hardly mentioned in history books. Most of the holidays that we celebrate in this country are euro-centric, most of our heroes are European, all of our presidents have been white, our great generals, etc..and we all study and learn about this great men in school, in movies and books...but we hardly hear about the great Spanish explorers and the early Spanish settlements in what is today the United States....but we all know about James Town, we read about how the "west was won", but we ignore the Native Americans who lived here for thousands of years....see, that's why we have black history month, it's just ONE month, and its used to make people aware that blacks have contributed too. For most of the year we study and learn about....Lincoln, Edison, Patton. and others. Ever since this nation was founded it has been ran by white men..WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?, you should sit down and think about how good our country is. I'm Hispanic and I dont need to be reminded aboout my roots and history, so "hispanic history month" is not for me, is for YOU.

Answer 10

guess i'm gonna get a lot of thumbs down for this...but this is what always happen to the majority population of a country....we can never do anything without being called racist.....i guess it's the fact that we whites mistreated other people in the past and therefore everything we do NOW is also treated as mistreatment even though it's not.

it is irritating but i can understand their pov also.in the past whites were pretty cruel to everyone all over the world.guess it's that resentment lingering on.
