A view on Racism.

[Feren Silver]

I was just reading this and I was thinking that a lot of these comments make a lot of sense. No. I am not a racist, so don't take this in that way...

Anyway here it is:

But, you call me a racist.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You call me ‘White Boy’,'Cracker’,'Honkey’,'Whitey’, and you think it’s ok.

But when I call you , ******, Kike, Towelhead, Sand-******, 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 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 Channel) 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 an organization for only whites to “advance” our lives, 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 you race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists. You are proud to 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.

I just wanted to see how other people viewed this. Please don't post stupid useless comments that aren't related to this. Thanks.

Very good points..

Along with "Day of Color", and the "Color Kid" crap at my school.

I asked to go, and got denied.

I said I'd file a lawsuit if I couldn't, and I got in.

 

[hempy411]

i think it makes alot of sense. i mean i'm not racist but it does bring up some good points.

 

[TJ]

Everyones racist, get over it.

Also, hundreds of years of slavery, murder and repression doesn't help the case either.

Yeah. I agree with you.

I'm not saying there aren't racists, but I think there are more than just white racists. =|

 

[Feren Silver]

For God's sake, I'm sick of hearing stuff like this. Typically, black people are those subject to prejudice, rather than white people. Typically, too, the majority of people who moan about this are from countries with a majority white population, where black people are extremely unlikely to be racist, and as it is on a much smaller scale, it's unlikely to be seen as much as white to black racism, and is therefore less prominent.

Yeah. I'm not saying that Whites are perfect, but it seems to me that "racists" are seen as being white only.

Plus on a grand scale I see your point, but on an individual level it seems to make more sense. :huh:

 

[FlubbyWubs]

Eh, everything said there is true.

Everyone can say what they want about white people and no one makes a peep. If we say something about another ethnicity we get bashed.

Its the sad truth, but to be honest I don't care. I say what I want and do what I want (Obviously up to a certain degree).

Yeah. You have a point. But as Finn was saying the problem is that there are way more whites bashing blacks(due to sheer population advantages in areas?) than the other way around. But still, I think you should have the right to say what you want.

FlubbyWubs. I love your signature it made me laugh.

They are all valid points.

You see black comedians making black jokes and everyone thinks their funny.

You see a white comedian making black jokes and they get called racist.


All this racist business is just bullshit. Everyones entitled to an opinion.

Well put. I don't get offended by being called a "cracker" or what ever, but I just think that other races shouldn't either. As you said, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Just sad excueses for being racist.

Why does it matter what color you are?

Thats different, its like I can make fun of myself and its nothing, but if someone else begins to do that its different.

Ever heard of Rodney King

I'm not using it as an excuse. I'm just trying to make a point. >_<

So Carlos Mencia ( [sorry if the spelling isn't right] just using him as an example...), is or isn't a racist. He speaks his mind about every race including his own.

I'm off for the night. I'll be back to tomorrow to respond.

I'm sure some people consider him racist, but I don't. He makes fun of everyone, if you ever see his show he actually makes fun of Mexicans more often then anything else. Also as many of you up there said, he just speaks his mind. He doesn't do any jokes to offend anyone(of course there's really uptight people that will get offended).

 

[SinNSacrifice]

I agree with you 100%

One of the things that Really makes me angry.

Talking about the USA, whites are on the top of the economic ladder. Also, they don't receive any racism by employers when trying to get a job. There are more white people born into the middle class and the upper class then there are black people. There is a much higher ratio of blacks and hispanics in jail compared to the ratio of the population, than it is for whites. Overall, on average, quality of life for whites is much better than the quality of life for most races. And the people on top are usually the ones subject to hate. There really isn't a reason to not hate us. As for the white people born into poverty, that sucks ass, but you really can't do anything about the tendency of people to classify economic statuses by the color of ones skin.

Thank you for the useless post. Glad you are banned.

Good points. I wouldn't say they don't receive ANY racism though, but it's more rare and less likely to be put to the public.

 

[dharok1337]

I really don't care, ******, is just another word for black people.

Cracker is another word for a white person.

It's funny because a african american thinks they can call us crackers whenever they want but when we call them ******s they get all mad. Negro or ******, it means the same thing.

I am not racist, I will occasionally use ****** or negro around some of my black friends when I am making a joke, and they just laugh and don't get offended.

And racism isn't just calling each other names.

If you say a black person jumps higher than a white person, its racism.

They can be good or bad comments about another race being superior to another one.

I've seen tons of bumper stickers saying black power, black pride, power to black people, I wonder what would happen if I drove down the street with a bumper sticker saying "white power"
