If you are not white....?

Question

Why is it acceptable for you to be racist?
Why is it ok for other people to be proud of their race, but not white people?
I so don't like white supremecist or their views, but, I am tired of hearing and seeing people denigrating Caucasian people on the radio and on the news.
Shouldn't everyone be held accountable for hate speech? Can we really pick and choose who can make racially biased comments based on the colour of their skin?

Answer 1

It isn't acceptable. I am African American and see nothing wrong with anyone being proud of their heritage. Unfortunately with everyone being PC it's now "OK" to make jokes about whites you would not dare make about other races. It's totally wrong. I'm not too happy about certain Reverends who say they speak for all of us either - believe me they don't. Everyone should be held accountable - period. I doubt it will ever happen though.

Answer 2

Funny someone had the nerve finally to ask this,I salute you,we as whites can not say anything good or bad about anyone else because it is taken harshly.I am in a job that I see all races and try to treat everyone the same,on the same token I expect to be treated with respect.We have people of all races that think we owe them something,My wife and I both work hard for what we get,pay taxes,insurance,house payments,health insurance and struggle every month to do so then I see these people that would not kill a snake if it was about to bite them because it takes to much energy.This younger generation thinks we all owe them a living,S.S.I. or welefare which comes first.It's sad,It's not whites,blacks,mexican,chinese,japanese,or whatever it is most that don't want to work.So they have all this time on their hands to figure out that we are slandering them for being bums or drug-dealers.I call them what I see them as and that is it,there is only one I have to answer to and that is God. The color of your skin has nothing to do with what you do with your life,it is what is from within that really matters.

Answer 3

I think it's just generally accepted that any race, creed, religion, or other minority that has ever faced any type of persecution in the past 200 years is allowed to be politically incorrect and insensitive. It's pretty well forgotten and not very often mentioned that all races, religions, creeds, and colors have faced persecution at one period in history or another, even Caucasians.

Answer 4

Absolutely. If we are proud of our race, we are racist. We are supposed to feel guilty of being white. We are the only race that is called racist. I'm am tired of every time something doesn't go their way, they play the race card. I am not a racist but am equally proud of my history.

Answer 5

none whites can be racist and get away with it purely because they can, fortunately there are not many of those around, one of the forerunners of racism is separation, until that is gone you will still have the great division and it has got nothing to do with heritage. why Afro American or Spanish American why not just American ? get rid of the barriers you are just Americans. the solution is in your own hands

Answer 6

Sometimes its hard just to be proud of being part of the human race.

Answer 7

Oh I am so glad you pointed this out. I absoloutley agree. I mean, it should be equal amongst everyone: everyone treat each other with respect.

Answer 8

Well said. No one should spread hate. 2D

Answer 9

Thank you. I agree with you. Racism is racism, regardless of your skin color.

Answer 10
