Interesting thoughts...........
Stating the obvious!
Proud to be White -
Michael Richards makes his point...
I have been wondering about why Whites are Racists, and no other race is.
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 here 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 racist!
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?
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 real close

old but quite thought provoking
the problem is that white people in america were always the ruling classes over the blacks and although when slavery ended it got better and it took dr king to completly end it the minorites in america are still suffering its effects that is why you need special things to help these minority groups
and as white people were the ruling classes although it would not be racist to have a white and proud dayu it would be seen nto be in poor taste
however anything along the lines of black miss america, mobos is institutionally rasict ans should go imo
but sometimes people are just looking for a way to make a white person come across as racist, we really do need to live and let live

Can't Jews be white Well there's the Jewish faith and the Jewish race, of course you can be white and Jewish (theologically speaking), but you can't be a white Jew (racially speaking).

along similar lines there is a Black Police Federation.Imagine if someone tried top set up a White Police Federation
There are music award called The MOBO's(Music Of Black Origin) yet there is no awards for Music Of White Origin)
There are music stations that playing nothing but music from black artists or asian artists yet there are no0 radio stations that play music just by white artists

I always thought they called themselves and each other "nigger" because they were trying to destigmatise it and remove its offensive connotations; like homosexuals have adopted Hitler's "Pink Triangle" as a badge of pride...
Doesn't really work if they still get pissed off by it though, does it? Hmm. I suppose not being black I will never understand how it feels for them when they hear a white person say it.

the problem is if two people are speaking amonsgt them selves using terms like that a third person may be offended
you really have to think before you speak because anybody can be offended by anything

i think we should have an official Political Correction Free Day, where everyone regardless of race, colour, religion is fair game and you can say what you want to who you want for 24hrs without fear of being pissflapped to death. a new bank holiday in the summer would be nice.

An interesting case of what could be considered racism by black people - the reggae artist, Yellowman. Because he is an albino Jamaican he is, I beleive, experienced prejudice & discrimination because of his light skill colour.
