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:
Whites are not more racist than others!
That fact that you keep such an accurate accounting suggests that you are a probably racist. A sincerely non-racist person doesn't need to distinguish between races at all.
But anyone can be racist, even minorities.
not all people are racist it is all about the surroundings that the person was born into and what people parents told them about treating other people
What do u mean just americans?there are no"just americans"!
the REAL and ONLY Americans in this country are the native ones,
and i dont wonder why everyone has it in their blood to feel hate for the white race,just look a little back in history boy.

Yeah whit people are put up on this level like we are better than everyone and we have to uphold a standard. People use their lower standard and express theirself in this way.
Ah we as white people still run the world so who cares. LOL how is that for a stab.
I think there are racists of every ethnic background out there.
your statement alone gives u your answer--u are a biggot--whites have had the best of our world for centuries--so give us the right to celebrate the bithday of a man who liberated us negroes from biggots such as yourself----shame on u
I agree with what you say some folkss take racism to the extreme blk folks need to stop and I am black ok true it should be aWET and Waacp all that beacause when one does it all should it makes it look racist also blk folks call each other ****** why can't a indian call me one or a white person or japanese so honey I can go all day I have even wrote PBS on the issue and so I AGREE!!!!!!
just Pray for US and All races
it's hard to talk to someone who only has one point of view... you've clearly answered your own question and want to stick to your own theory.maybe you are just looking for people to agree with you but someone beat you to it hundreds of years ago...it's called the kkk. you should think about joining..
By the way, I was under the impression that white people committed crimes too?
I agree with Rabid. For that very reason we are in a America but we are world minority but in reality it the majority. There is nothing wrong with being proud, its when it's offensive thats when its a problem. Why would I want to call someone of there name? I wouldn't dare call anyone a cracker or a ching or anything like that because it's offensive.
I thank you for this. All my friends (I'm the only white girl of my friends) call me gringa, cracker, whitey, honkey and they tell me I can't dance and all the other white crap things. and they think it's funny. i'm glad someone said something.
it doesn't matter what race your are to be racist...there are people who are racist againt people of thier own race.
I agree with some...but not most of what you said...it's just that these days some people are getting what they want by playing the race card.
You have the biggest of chips on your shoulders. I'm a so called white person and I'm proud of my humanity towards my fellow human beings, I couldn't give a fiddlers fart about what colour I am.
i dont think ur racist because i... well not extrmley though, think that sumtimes too... i am not racist have many friends of different races and i hate racist people... but i say the same thing... when racism is thought of by the average person it usually means white people hating black people and then when thought about more mexican arab native american indian so on and so forth comes into mind... but then again people dont take in how many racist people there are against white people... racism is still a problem in our world today but when you think about it... in this country it is allowed for people of other races to be proud of thier race while putting white people down... racism from whites to others is bad in other parts of the country but in america it seems like white people get it too... im not saying white people have it worse but its still racist for a person of other race to call a white man a "honkey" or so on and so forth... so yes it is a little odd but i think that its a wrong perspective of thinking racism is just whites hating people of other races... it is any race that can present racism... this is just what i think... and yes the world is messed up with this racist crap and its real stupid.
I HATE TO READ SO MANY BAD COMMENTS THERE IS RACISM IN EVERY RACE AND WE CANT SAY WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID IS THAT IGNORANT PEOPLE ARE RACIST I HAVE FRIENDS OF A LOT OF RACES AND I CANT FIND ANY REASON THAT WOULD MAKE US ARGUE OVER WHO HAS THIS DAY ARE THAT DAY WHO CARES GOD WILL JUDGE YOUR SPIRIT NOT YOUR FLESH AND BELIEVE ME OUR SPIRITS ARE MADE THE SAME WAY SO STOP TRIPPING OFF RACE AND START LIVING YOUR LIFE IF GOD CALLS YOU TONIGHT CAN YOU ASSURE YOURSELF THAT YOU WILL FACE GOD ARE WILL YOU FACE HELL FOR YOUR HATE REMEMBER GOD KNOWS ENJOY LIFE AND PRAY FOR EVERYONE THERE ARE RACIS PEOPLE OF ALL ETHNIC GROUPS
As white people we have in the past had slaves of other colors so now we must be extra sensitive of the feelings of other race's as not to repeat history. Horrible things have been done on our white part that has given us this treatment. We must respect the other races for all that they have endured. Besides why would you want to disrespect another human being by their race. To me we are all one race, the human race.
let me tell you when i became aware of racism. shortly after i got out of the Marines, i tried to enter law enforcement. i applied for the Texas Highway Patrol. went through all the interviews and background searches. passed with flying colors might i add. my officer assigned to me told me in private." Gary you are one of the most qualified people i have interviewed in a long time. don,t let this keep you from trying again,but of the record , we are only hiring blacks, women and other minorities." needless to say i didn't reapply. after that i became aware of how white males over 22 are the highest form of minority you can get. the hell with all you " i am black and need help. sounds like New Orleans...huh
i have to agree with everyone else. although many people assume that all whites are racists, in fact everyone is racist. all races have stereotypes and generalizations about others that are not like them. the fact that you are so concentrated on it shows that perhaps you think about it too much.
i know i am not racist and that is all i need to know. although you have touched on a good point. many believe that it is okay to call white people names but it is not okay for them to be called names. but i stick with the thought that those who truly believe in equality don't call anyone names.
i have no need to generalize or stereotype any other race by using derogatory terms. and i know that those of other races who feel the same as me will not call me a derogatory name.
Majority of white folks are very prejudice(racist).Let me explain to you how this is outrageously true! Emmett Till (BLACK):He was lynched by TWO WHITE MEN when they were told by a white woman that while she was in a store he whistled at her! It wasn't even that serious enough to beat him until he bled to death and then throw him in a river! Before Martin Luther King Jr. had a speech blacks were being treated like dirt, we were being kicked around, lynched(hanged), and burned by the KKK(that's the people you claim are not racist)Nowadays y'all try do dress like us, rap like us, dance,and just plain try to be us! If we looked at your kind in the wrong way we were hung by a tree!! I bet you didn't know that by 1880 and 1945, nearly 600 BLACK (notice that I say BLACK) men, woman, and children were lynched in probably the most racist state of MISSISSIPPI alone!! So don't you EVER call us racist because certain BLACK folks call you racist. Are you jealous that we have BET would you like a WET channel???? For someone to post something like that....YOU MUST BE RACIST!!!
Call me racist if you want, but I just spoke the truth!!!!
who isnt to a point
NO! not all white is racistI am not white, but I do agree with you about lot of things. I think the reason is that "White people'' is been considered the superior race for quite some time so minorities always assumed that they are racist.In a lot of mtv videos of white celebrities, you will always see black people there, but the black rappers seldom include white women in their videos. Asians can be discriminating too,,I can say that(especially the chinese) because I have experienced that..The thing is, everybody can be a racist, black,white,brown or yellow..because it is a human nature to be one..Kinda sad but true?have you watched the movie CRASH? you'll see how the different race of people react to each other.
Umm u are a racist...Noone Said All of This when Thomas Jefferson was f##### a black girl..LOL
