Racist?

Proud to be White
Michael Richards makes his point..................

Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.

This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act.

He makes some very interesting points...

Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.

And then there are just Americans.. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... And that's OK...

But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, 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 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??

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.

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, car jack 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??

There is nothing improper about this e-mail..

Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on.

I sadly don't think many will.

That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country.

We won't stand up for ourselves!


BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!

It's not a crime YET.... But getting very close!

It is estimated that ONLY 5% of those reaching this point in this e-mail, will pass it on.

I DID!!

Someone sent this to me and I thought it was so true. I have a lot of friends of color that I think very highly of and I don't even think of them as being different, but its hard not to notice the different in us. I guess it will always be this way. Thanks for the visit

My developmentally-disabled cousin doesn't see people as black or white. We'll hear about someone she knows for years and when we finally meet them discover they are black, and she never brought it up. I think everyone is created equal, but many of have that little bit of it in us, from the mere fact that we notice and take skin color into account when we meet someone, if only to be especially sensitive about what we say so as not to offend them. Sometimes the tip-toeing around is offensive, too. It's too bad we're not simply color blind.

You could compare this to any social group, though. Some men (not all) try to talk more politely when women are around, and vice versa. It's not pampering according to race or gender, it's good manners.

I agree with you that it would be nice if we were all color blind, also be nice if all had good manners. No matter how good a friend they are, its hard not notice the difference. Thanks for coming by Laura. Just want to say that I check out your post every day, bur don't comment much.
