You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and even "The Man" and you think it's OK.
But when I call you, "Nigger", "Kike", "Towelhead", "Sand-Nigger", "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 say that you want to make a change in this country.
How?
By protesting everything that we believe in? By trying to change
everything that has made this country run fine for centuries?
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah
You have Cinco de Mayo
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
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.
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 enjoy the thought of Driver's Licenses for illegals.
We enjoy the thought of people obeying the laws of the land in which they reside. No negotiations.
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 call each other "niggas", but when we call you that, 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.
We work hard to perserve our history.
You come along and try to re-write it.
I am white.
I am proud.
I am an American.
But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
And I am sure that now you've read this you think that I am more of a racist.

"You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?"because white people(usually) have built out liquor stores,gun shops,bad enviroments>the government dont do anything to stop this.the government should be blamed for the bad hoods he doesnt do nothin to stop it, it like a flood of oil,if the government dont help stop its goin to kill.
"If we had WET(white entertainment television) we'd be racists." you do have white entertainment,NBC,comedy central etc...
"If we had white history month, we'd be racists."
the fuck you mean yall dont got a month,just open a History book it tell you all and everything about your past.
"If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists."
yall never had your rights or race tooken away so why would you march for?
"We enjoy the thought of people obeying the laws of the land in which they reside. No negotiations."
" obeying the laws of the land in which they reside. No negotiations."
LOL!! yall didnt think about that shit a couple hundred years ago. maybe even decades.
"You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it.

No, we call you racist when you rep you pride with a hood on.
"You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us.
But,

black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society,

Please, for everyone's sake, shut the fuck up.The government has better things to do than take responsibility for your 'hoods.' And besides, maybe if you took it upon yourself (imagine that, taking responsibility!) to clean up your act, the government wouldn't have to.
They're not your babysitter. It's called being pro-active, dumbfuck. Get off your ass and stop complaining about things that happened a hundred years ago and do something about the shit that's going on now.

This nation is based on capitalism and being proactive, like Evan said.
Want a fix, fucking fix it. Stop bitching so much. It's not like white people aren't poor or in poverty, we just don't shoot each other or commit as many crimes.
Yeah, whites have never had their rights taken away.
Look at jews. They're the most down-trodden people of history. Slaves in Egypt, the Holocaust, Romans used them as slaves.
Guess what fucker, they're white. Stop trying to bitch and act like those of color are the only people who get their rights taken away.
This is the contemporary age, stop thinking in the past. Those things happened hundreds of years ago, and no one is alive from then-why are so many black people still hung up on slavery? Get over it.
Stop being a cowardly little bitch, own up to the fact that the black situation is a product of their own actions, and maybe you can be a helpful member of society. While you're at it, stop being a pussy and write your name when you leave responses here.

Re: it's kelly
First I will let you know that I am a Man of color. I won't be using " Ebonics" to express myself. I use the term Man of color because I am black, arab, asian and native american. But to look at me you would identify me as black. First of all I am (statistically anyway)more likely to have a crime committed against me be someone who is black. I do agree somewhat that why use the word "nigga" then get upset when the word "nigger" is used. I personally refrain from using either. As oppose to W.E.T. What isn't White Entertainment Television. Most shows on Television are dominated by white people. I would say at least 85% of the faces I see are white. You say you don't have any special groups watching your interest. You do. Its called the U.S. Government. And February the shortest calender month for black history. Come on! I have only seen history for the European point of view all my life. Before you mistake me for a member of the Nation of Islam. Let me set this straight. I have friends all across the racial spectrum black, asian, arab, persian. You name it. I listen to Heavy Metal and don't really care for rap and hip hop. But I do get upset with the stereotypes that I get labeled with by both blacks and whites. I could go on with examples but why? There is good and bad in every race. Period. My point is for something a few people have done should I hold it against ALL of them? I don't think so. Am I calling swinger1988 a racist? No I don't jump to conculsions. Besides what he says reminds me of Slayers "Guilty for Being White". Which I don't consider a racist song. All I ask that if you have had a bad experience with someone outside your race. Don't make the whole race GUILTY!6 years ago

Racism
Hmm... To the white American who posted the comments about racism...I'm black, so this may shock and offend the white person that it is meant for, you know who you are. If provoking a reaction is your aim in writing such a misplaced and bias comment, then here you go homie!(thats black slang for friend)
First things first, God bless you, and I understand the attitude in which your remarks are derrived, however misplaced and uneducated they are. I don't claim to know more than I am, or what I have been through myself, so I will just cut to the chase.
Thank you for finally recognizing how racist you actually sound, because what I get from your letter is a justification of your racism, not a defense. In either case, your racist.
Being black, I have gone through a little more than someone "sneering in my direction", so I think my knowledge in the matter is very extensive. The ignorant soul who called you personally "Cracker, Honkey, & whitey" obviously is a racist, and in no way justified in thier action.
However, for you, a white person, to some how use this as a crutch, sounds pretty stupid. "Martin Luther King Day" means more than just recognizing black history, which if you are educated you know, parallels with "white history"... it is the history of our nation, built on the backs of slaves like so many others... But as a black person, it would be wrong of me to continue to use that as a crutch. But, had it not been for the slavery, and denile of human rights in general, we would have nothing to march for! You insult your own race by saying "we work hard to preserve "our" history"!!!
How dare you! What you do work hard to is erase the truth of the matter. Black people were not considered human, according to your history!
Are you saying Im not human? Are you actually justifying the fact that for hundreds of years a people was enslaved for the benefit of another, because they were another race? I mean come on, "White history month"? "WET"? "white pride day"?... How discriminated against are you that you need to ask for a month to recognize your freedom?, How discriminated against are you that they dont air shows that depict white life in a positive way, so you need to develop your own means to do so? And how mistreated have you been that You need one day out of 365 to remind your fellow humans that you matter?! You dont, because White history month is January, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, & December!& you dont need your own channel because you have a million of your own, and you even own and control ours! What do you have to be proud of?... what freedom have you won? The right to establish a country?, How bout the right to be more than a monkey, 2/3's human piece of shit thats only good for backbreaking labor! God Bless America!
Get it right next time, says the Black man!

everyone reading
Im back, and after further review of all comments made, Attacking someones Gramar and spelling as most of you did, the derogatory names, & the insults that were handed out, leads me to believe that there are more ignorant white people than there are any other race, in terms of this forum. Reason being, The first to insult, put down, and prove superiority, were white. The very route of racism is hate, and ignorance. There is no good form of racism, for those who were blatently justifying stereotypes, and discrimination. Right verses wrong should be your intent, white folks, If you want to prove a point, and be effective at it, displaying arrogance and superiority wont get your point across.Im actually kinda relieved that you guys reply so ignorantly, because if this were a court of law, the jury would have a 2 minute deliberation and the verdict would be clear. Guilty! on all counts of racism.
You even attempt to convince others that the U.S. Federal Government, is here to help? Wow...
I work in Mortgage, Im black, and Im young at that. There are Still companies out there, despite the governments fair lending acts, that will not give certain people of color houses in areas that are set aside for more "appropriate" buyers... Guess who?
Not all black and Mexican people are lazy, for the stupid ass bitch who said that shit... (notice I didnt categorize your race, you could be black for all I care, Call another person who doesnt speak like you do that again, and you will reap what you sew) If you honestly believe the same opportunities are given to all of us races, then you have never been black... I notice that some of you want to be able to play the race card so bad you can taste it!.. Your upset that 90% of entertainment is dominated by blacks... It hurts you to "not be on top anymore"..
I know people... I understand... If I was in charge of a group of 5 people that suddenly didnt like how I was treating them, and they overthrew me, I would be a little scared too... In fact, be glad that Martin Luther King Jr practiced non voilent methods to attain his rights... Had it been malcom X, We would have had civil war!
Im not saying its all white peoples fault, and "oh, I cant get a Job, what do I do"... no, not at all people...
Im saying exactly what you are saying... For white America to take us seriously, and respectfully, we have to show em that we arent lap dogs! Yeah, there are poor white people, in poverty, and suffering.. but what do rich white people do about it? nothing, because they dont identify with them... they dont see them as the same...
But you didnt say that the trailer park trash were lazy, and that they kept themselves in poverty! how is someone gonna stay poor on purpose?... Dont you know that a Ghetto is set up as a whole, so limit growth, thats why it is a government housing prodject. You guys need to do your homework before you speak on shit that you dont even know about...
For the Nerd spelling champ, I may not have spelled EVERY word right, mainly to piss you off-
and by the way, Disclosing my name, however pointless, is mandatory since someone seems to think that would make a difference, as if we would ever cross paths... and should we ever, I would say thanks for pasting such a riveting topic... and then Knock you the fuck out!

Stop assuming because I'm capable of empathizing and seeing other points of view that I side with the same point of view.
I forgot, because I am against all forms of racism, I must be a racist. Anyone against affirmative action must be a racist.
You can't impose inequality to derive equality. No one sees that.

There is a difference between not being racist and being politically correct. That makes sense I think (?). Are you saying that Affirmative Action is a bad idea or a good one?

No racist-based affirmative action. Help repair and equalize all public education. Some people defend affirmative action by saying that in certain regions or areas, school quality is worse and the majority population is black or colored, and they should get a slight boost in college applications because they had adverse learning conditions.
Instead of giving them a boost that only makes racism complacent, why not FIX the system?
Stop bitching about bad schools and how people who go to them are worse off and need to get admitted more than others, FIX THE SCHOOLS. Get new teachers, supplies, whatever.
While we're at it, why not give women equal pay for equal work? Women still don't get as much money as men for the same job, statistically. Why not fix that? No one gives a damn, it seems.
To be sympathetic to any injustice, you should be sympathetic to all conditions of mankind.
If you call me a racist, then you can't belive in affirmative action, and you had better not use racial slurs or want Black History Month.
Guess what, a federal school-taught month for a specific race or culture is RACIST. Instead of not fixing the system of books or government, people are complacent with forming a crutch with black history month.
Guess what, I truly admire and respect Martin Luther King jr. I've read his speeches, I've bought his posters, I've read his writings. I truly admire and respect him as a human being. He wanted the utmost equality for ALL oppressed. I do not think he would condone affirmative action.
MLK wouldn't want sympathy. He would want the means to achieve the same results as anyone else, and I believe in the same message. I do not believe in forming crutches or reforming half-assed. Think I'm a racist, so be it. So is Martin Luther King jr. then.

what i do care about, however, is addressing your hypocricy:
"I'm sure white people don't really care how you express yourselves." Do I need to spell this out?
"Want a fix, fucking fix it. Stop bitching so much. It's not like white people aren't poor or in poverty, we just don't shoot each other or commit as many crimes." Alright, this is obviously stereotyping. You are also being insensitive to the fact that in order to fix a problem of this nature, you must have power. In this case, power must come through politics, therefore through elected officials themselves, or those who influence them, the wealthy. Unfortunatly, because the masses fed by our media aren't logical enough to see what is in front of them, it will be far too long before the black community has real, much less equal, power.
"This is the contemporary age, stop thinking in the past. Those things happened hundreds of years ago, and no one is alive from then-why are so many black people still hung up on slavery? Get over it." However, those events from the past are still relevant, as the black community still suffers economically and culturally due to them. If more people were willing to acknowledge it, then 'moving on' would be possible.
"Stop being a cowardly little bitch, own up to the fact that the black situation is a product of their own actions" What? no.
"You can't expect racial tolerance/acceptance by using racial slurs and judgements." racial judgement: "
we just don't shoot each other or commit as many crimes."
"White people don't get the same rights as minorities, either." Not the same, and most definitly not equal.
"To be sympathetic to any injustice, you should be sympathetic to all conditions of mankind." Yet you continue to ignore the serious ramifications the actions of predominantly white men and culture continue to have.
"Guess what, a federal school-taught month for a specific race or culture is RACIST" I do not believe so. The entire platform of american schooling is based upon european culture.
i think that in getting so tied up in what you judge to be a black and white issue (in the sense that its one way or the other) you fail to see in the big picture in your efforts to find clarity. the fact is, our culture, american culture, is racist. Black people are viewed as ignorant, uneducated, lazy, untrustworthy, criminal.... And these views are saturated into the media and our everyday lives, not just for white people, but for all americans.
As a white american girl, i know i could grow up and marry the next JFK, or be 'america's sweetheart', but besides those things, be succesful, sweet, smart, loving, funny, a truly 'productive member of society'. These images and others permeate the subconscious of myself, and everyone who will deal with me.
A black american will primarily be portrayed as a drug dealer, whore, single mother, member of a tragically dysfunctional family, angry, confused, ignorant...and these images will do the same thing.
It is not so long ago (1950s or 60s) that that four men here in our city drove around one night looking for a black person to kill and murdered a mother of 3 (i may be getting the exact numbers wrong, off memory) as she was walking home with icecream for her kids. There were confessions from each man, and only one man was put behind bars, and only for 3 years.
We are not so different, and our generations are still very influenced by those before us.
The whole purpose of these "crutches" you talk about (college admissions, black history month, etc) is to heal the wounds, so that the crutches are eventually not needed.
Even if you do not believe the methods to be effective (i think we can all agree on dissapointment over certain programs) do not be so cynical as to dismiss them without taking into proper account their purpose, and why they are needed.

Black History Month is racist. Does it mean what is currently in place is not racist? No. I even said it wasn't racist. Read what I saw next time >_>
---"To be sympathetic to any injustice, you should be sympathetic to all conditions of mankind." Yet you continue to ignore the serious ramifications the actions of predominantly white men and culture continue to have.---
I don't control others. We are responsible for our actions. How am I ignoring white people's actions? You just randomly throw out assertions and don't prove any evidence. I can only rule myself, and I can only recommend what people should do.
YOU CANNOT DERIVE EQUALITY THROUGH MEANS OF INEQUALITY. It is a logical fallacy and a circular logistic to use inequality to get equality. Do you guys not see this?
