Am I a Racist?

[angryoldman]

TweetThere 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 sneer in my direction.
You call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey,"
"Whitey," "Caveman" ... and that's OK.
But when I call you, Nigga, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger,
Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, 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 Negro 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 an Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of
Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
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?

TweetWOW, some very contreversial points made in there. I feel pretty strongly about a few of them but I'll keep it to myself. It def. makes you think though.

TweetI deffinately feel like there is a double standard in alot of cases, but at the same time, whites will never know what it's like to deal with alot of the racism that blacks, Jews and other minority groups have to deal with on a daily basis either. I was watchin a documentary on these inbred skinheads the other day and during their little march or whatever they were chanting "6 million more" referring to the Jews which really confused the hell out of me cause I thought most of those people claimed that the holocaust never happened. Then they were chanting "niggers go home" and "we don't need niggers", yet most of the cops there providing these numbnuts security were black so apparently they do need them. I know the black cops there prolly took it for what it was for the most part, but at the same time it had to hurt too.

I saw a similiar show on A & E that was filmed in Birmingham, AL. It made me sick to see some of the un-educated hillbillie's just looking like fool's.

LMAO!!! This is funny stuff. If you were a 26 year old white frat boy on the Borat film who didn't live through the civil rights era, then I'd take you seriously. But I think you're old enough to remember that just 39 years ago Martin Luther King was assassinated and you know not too long before that blacks and whites where finally able to use the same restrooms. Also I think you know that we couldn't go to the same colleges..etc...etc. Just because Yale and Harvard were not called "'White colleges" you still know what it implied. Anyways just as Yale and all the rest now allow blacks to enroll so do black colleges. In fact if you're white you'll get a scholarship for entering a black college. BUt there are also scholarships for whites and every other nationality. Have you ever met a black Irish guy?Also white pride is always related to white supremist and KKK. If you want to join them go ahead. I don't care if people start there own groups. It's just that the implication of being racist will always apply due to history. If you can create a white only group who's members don't hate other races and won't try to lynch them, more power to you. But you know very well what all white groups imply and why other groups were formed. Some of the other stuff you said is just plain ignorrant and I don't have time to rebute them, Like your black history month statement.

Anyways If what you really meant to say is that you don't think some of the "race specific" privelages are no longer required, then say so because I will agree with you on that. I don't think Black specific colleges or scholarships are required since everything is intergrated now. Everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed so I don't see the need for them anymore. But starting an all white one is always going to have an implication of racism.

Oh yeah BET sucks so it should be eliminated.

Tweeti have nothing to tell u white boy *aOL*

TweetYes, we are the melting pot of fitness boards, lol!

[DJDIGGLER]

TweetDAMN STRAIGHT!!! I can't stand that crap! Where is the equality in all of that? I always mention those points and noone ever has a good rebuttal to it, except we were slaves blah, blah, blah.

I love how whites supposedly owe black people because of slavery. Yet it was white people and a white leader (abraham lincoln) that freed the black slaves. So in other words black people are saying that they are ungreatful for the fact that white people freed them from the whites that enslaved them. So why do all whites owe black people again?

I went to Lowe's and this black manager was talking to a black customer. He seemed real nice. When he was finished and came to me he was an absolute jerk. I finally said to him "I see what's going on here, your treating me like this because your a racist!"

He said "RACIST!? I can't be racist! I'm black!!"

I said "Saying that alone makes you racist! What only white people can be racist against black people? Are you saying black people can't be racist?"

He then said "I'm gonna walk away before I punch your white asss!"

I said "Yeah smart idea, funny thing is If I were to of made the same comment I would've been the racist one!"

Felt good to turn the table for once! Everyone around was laughing there asses off and said it was great to finally hear a white guy say that!

Don't get me wrong I am far from racist. I'm very very passionate about equality between all races and both sexes. I get very frustrated when I see someone shunned or disrespected for their color. I'll be the first to defend them! But I'm getting absolutely tired of minorities taking advantage of shiit! It needs to stop!
