A new kind of racism. Racism against whites?
"You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK.
But when I call you, n i g g e r, Kike, Towelhead, Sand-n i g g e r, Camel Jockey, ****, 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 an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, we'd be called racists."
Answer:
Why do you think words like cracker, honkey and whitey were invented? I hate to lower myself to grade school mentality, but white people started it. I'm not condoning anybody calling anybody else stupid, insulting names. It's not ok in either direction. But I can understand when a group of people are being called names out of hatred simply for the color of their skin that they might get defensive and try to hit back.
In the example of ghettos, there are many factors that don't have to do directly with a person's race. There are people living in poverty who have lost all hope and are separated off from the rest of society. So people band together in violent groups that end up fighting for things like territory and material things they could never afford. Not saying it's right, but this has been a complicated process that led to gang mentality. It's going back to something primal that every human being has which can be brought forth in a corrupt world. Have you seen the movie, "Gangs of New York"? Those were white people living in squalid conditions in an urban place which had little to no law enforcement available to keep things in check. That's what you're seeing today. Apathy and poverty creates a new breed of a violent generation.
Think about the circumstances in which blacks came to this country. They were slaves, not free to pursue an education, be paid wages for a job, or own property. Whites got a pretty good head start since they've been in America since the 15th century with every opportunity they could grasp. Even after the slaves were freed, because racism still existed, many couldn't find a well-paying job and they were banned from receiving the same education as whites up through the 1950's. That was just 50 years ago. That means someone's grandfather couldn't earn the money to educate their children and those children made their way to afford things for their children, but it didn't always work out. Wealth comes from family passed down or you have to find a position that pays well. Because people are still turned down today because they are black, things like the United Negro College Fund are still necessary.
What's wrong with Martin Luther King Day? He was an amazing man who made great strides in the Civil Rights Movement, trying to make change for the better for everyone in this country. Why not celebrate Cesar Chavez? This country is made up of more than white people. He represents the pride of Latino heritage and struggle. We honor Abraham Lincoln for the difference he made during a tumultuous time in the country.
Yes, we have a Black History Month. We also have a Women's History Month. Why? Because most of our history books only talk about what white men did over the centuries. Minority cultures only get a month.
If you turn on the television, what do you see in most sitcoms? White people. Think about Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, Gilmore Girls, The Office, Will and Grace, Everybody Loves Raymond, etc. None of the main characters are black. How would you feel if the situation was reversed? What if all shows on the main networks were focused on black life? Would you feel a little left out, wishing you also had a channel that targeted your interests and culture?
As for things like White Pride, the KKK have had parades in the past along those lines. They were based on hatred and superiority. Black Pride is not about making others feel bad, but helping the black community to focus on the positive.
I agree with it. If you think about it, IT'S ALL TRUE
white people are the majority. have always been the majority. its a numbers game.
ts like the big kids beating up the small kids. if the small kids talk crap about the big kids its okay, if the big kids talk crap about the small its hatred.
do a search for thomas sowell, he is a journalist and just wrote a piece on this in connection with the Duke "rape" case.
Apparently, a lot of blacks want a prosecution just to remedy past racism, even if the guys did not do anything criminal.
I dont understand why blacks always rally around the worst people and then celebrate their victories, like in the OJ case or with Rodney King, or the black kids in school that get expelled for fighting.
Why not support the kids that are doing good in school and staying out of trouble.
Blacks have BET because ALL OTHER TV IS White Entertainment Television.
haha. Angry white people make me laugh.
You forgot to mention all black beauty pagents. Blacks are allowed to be in any beauty pagent in the world, but yet they have their very own, in which only blacks can compete.
I agree with you about the double standards and all, but white people do have a lot of things that they should just be grateful for.
Sad to say but you're right. It's gone so far that they're teaching in many liberal colleges that a person of color can't be racist. (there are probably more racists that are of color than white) and that a woman can't be sexist. This is a bunch of political correctness B.S. that"s ruining our country.
So true.
chuck just proved the point, making white people angry is good and funny...to bigots.
i agree there is some racism against white people however i think this is just backlash of all the supressing of other ethnicities by white people throughout history
This isn't NEW. It is just that White people went into this P.C. crap and did what the others told them. Oh it's racist I'm sorry I'll stop. The blacks said we don't care if it offends you that is the POINT.
Gotta love that little two-year-old mentality of "he started it!". So what? If you really think you're all that much better of a person, it's your responsibility to rise above such things. Just because someone else starts something deosn't mean you're obligated to make it worse.
Racism against any race is wrong, whether it's a form of retalliation or not I mean come on people, grow up. This is the 21st century. Look all around you, if you pay attention you'll see that "minorities" aren't that at all anymore. They get special privelages just because of their race,which is really ironic since one of the main complaints that I have heard about white people is that they have this and that advantage. You can't get revenge and then still act like a victim, because at that point you're not.
White people may not be the majority in the world but we have proved we are the meanest hungriest and most determined race this world has ever known.
Well said "lilithmoon!" I wonder why are there so many White Racist Hate Groups that are on record for committing some of the most gruesome/ violent crimes against humanity? I think that most of the situations that you mentioned in your question's additonal information, came about as a response by Minorities that have been overtly excluded from legitimate participation, and unjustly mistreated due to White Racism. The phenomenon of White Racism has been studied for years as it has been determined to be indicative of the White race especially, and I'm not saying this as a way of causing hurt, but dissemination of fact, and it's a sad fact! Racism is a highly unnecesary evil that postulates one race of people's superiorty over another's simply due to their racial makeup, which has been scientifically determined to be false! There is only one race, the human race! When are we going to wake-up and acknowledge the true brotherhood of man as proven by the science of DNA? Or are we going to continue to buy a bounch of racist bullshit that temporarily makes us feel better at the unjust expense of others soley due to race and ethnicity? It has no place in American society, and will be the reason why America will never rise to the true level of prominence outlined by the Patriarchs in the Declaration of Independence! All races have killed, disparaged, dehumanized, and stigmatized members of it's own as well as other races. We need to stop the craziness, and understand that all people are important, and should not be excluded. That is why Consevativism is so dangerous, as it can easliy develope into Ultra-conservativism which has given birth to racist organizations like: The Skinheads, K.K.K., Neo-Nazi's, National Alliance, Counsel of Conservative Citizens, etc.. Stop the madness!
