Are white people really racist?
Question:
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 "Whiteboy," "Cracker,"
"Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman" and that's OK.
------------------------------...
But when I call you, ******, Kike, Towelhead,
Sand-******, 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 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 a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black
Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain
Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
------------------------------...
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?
Answer:
The Reverend (and I use that term loosely) Louis Farrakhan IS racist. He hates whitey and Jews. He is blatantly open about it and no one calls him on it.
The fact of the matter is, racism is a two way street. People tend to think traditionally that only whites are racist but I've encountered a few minority folk who are every bit as bad as the KKK- an organization I abhor. The media won't point out when a black is racist as readily as they will a white guy. David Duke comes to mind.
Too bad the melting pot is coagulating thanks to political correctness. There will never be peace among the races as long as there are those out there who practice PC and forever point out the color of one's skin. I don't care what color you are- if you're a nice person then you're a nice person. If you're a jerk then you're a jerk. I've encountered both in ALL races. I believe in equality for all not just a segment of society.
We are all AMERICANS. PERIOD!!
What movie does this have to do with?
Hear, hear. Well said.
I'm white racist and proud. thats the difference a lot of other races and colours and creeds lie about it
I LOVE YOU MANNNNNNNNNNNN!
Im totally with you on that. Its absolutely ridiculous.
Ever heard of reversed discrimination? That happens a lot nowadays. However, try to look at what unites people, not what separates them.
i love u chad
you tell no lies
Double standard.
The truth is is there is actually a lot of "reverse discrimination" in our society and when confronted with the irony of it, most minorities will say that we deserve it for the historic problems they had to endure. Even though they didn't deserve it when the shoe was on the other foot.
Shame really.
Everyone's a little bit racist. EVERYONE. Check out the lyrics to this awesome song about just that subject! It's from a musical called Avenue Q.
http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/avenueq/e...
A sampling of said lyrics:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go
Around committing hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.
And yes, I agree, I say we should be allowed to start the White Entertainment Television Channel and have a White History Month. Good call.
LMFAO!
i totally agree! you know there is this eccentric old guy my bro-in-law read about that has set up a college scholarship fund and the only requirement is that you are white! lol
Not only whites can be racists. Many other nationalities and races can be racist too, but they are too afraid to have something like that judge upon them. Instead of being true to whom or what they believe. No matter how harmful it is to some people or not. I agree with you and i am a mixed race person.
Thank you, I've been saying that for years.
And by the way I can say that and still be married to a Hispanic.
Does that make me racist?
no all races can be rasist
Nice...very well put!
sleepwalker 69 is my b*tch.
You're only missing one side of the story. I'm not sure if white people "invented" or discovered" racism but they surely made it famous and spread it out for centuries. They have had slaves from all races since the dawn of times. Personally, I would never call you whitey, white trash or any of those ugly names, but everything changes and maybe, what white people are experiencing now is only the result of ages and ages of slavery. It's not fair if you ask me, but there's not much we can do now to change it. Only to raise our kids without those wrong thoughts about human kind.
Whites are not the only race that are racists. Whites take the heat more because they are the majority and the minorities feel they are being looked down on. If whites were a minority the story would be completely different.
I believe racist is defined as one who actually thinks one race is superior to another, this being true anyone has the potential of being racist
There is no such thing as "reverse discrimination " only discrimination regardless of where it originates
I want my 40 acres and a mule!!
Did you know that White men are the only people that don't have any protected rights when it comes to the work force...
When will this become irrelevant? Defining oneself by a culturally-defined "race" does more harm than good, in the long run.
The more race-based organizations, no matter the "color," the longer we as members of the HUMAN RACE remain divided.
Come on.reverse discrimination? What's that? Discrimination is discrimination. Racism is racism. There is no such thing as reverse racism. Whites are definitely discriminated against more than any other race. White males are the most discriminated against, because women have things just for themselves (Curves, for example). Chad, thank you for pointing out all these double standards. I'm glad to see other people's responses, too. It seems to me that black people are perpetuating racism...I think the vast majority of white people are not racist, while the vast majority of black people are.
I don't think its about what color you are but how you think. Whether you know it or not, there are people who are racist against their own race. I've met a few.
It's also b/c some people are just too easlily offended, what you say is very true, but also all these organizations that you name are there to I guess promote diversity.
I think that all these groups are a good thing but they should be open to everyone, not just to one race. And now that I think about it, you are right to feel the way you do. But all the other racial groups get offended so much b/c we have always been prejudiced against. I guess we have just learned to be very defensive. In our own race we call each other those things, but don't allow other races b/c we don't know if your joking or really mean it.
Well said. In total agreement. There are multiple color racists
because they invented it they have yet to go through the pain and anger they have put other races through so don't be a stupid person
i am a whitebread and proud of it,don't forget there are good people out there and i met them and my family are racist(which i am ashamed of).
I agree with you 100%!! Seems to me like the blacks are more racists than whites!
African-American's have holidays, college funds, and their own colleges, because white people would not give it to them only 50 years ago! They have those things because white people brought them here in cages in ships and made them slaves. Idiot.
