(no subject)
i saw this little diddy on wirjo's livejournal, and i thought i should share it with everybody...
so i'm reading through some bulletins and i come across this one which deeply disturbs me...not offends...disturbs...and i'd like to issue a rebuttal to this...let me preface this by saying i am half "white" and half indonesian...so i'm on both sides of this stupid fucking race war that Americans, specifically, so greatly admire...
here's what the original post says:
"You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and even "The Man" and you think it's OK.
But when I call you, "nigger", "Kike", "Towelhead", "Sand-nigger", "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 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, you know we'd be racists.
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, 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.
ome time i went to six flags and it was "islamic day" and i couldnt get in becuase i wasnt islamic... but if we had a "white day" we would probably be sued... and called a racist.
I am white.
I am proud.
But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
Repost if you agree with the title white pride... do you think im a racist?"

no you're not a racist, whitey, but what you are is an ignorant motherfucker who obviously hasn't paid attention in any social science or humanities or history course you've ever taken (if you've taken any at all)...let's look at this...phrase by phrase:
~You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and even "The Man" and you think it's OK.
But when I call you, "nigger", "Kike", "Towelhead", "Sand-nigger", "Camel Jockey", "Beaner" or "Chink" you call me a racist.~
ok now the key here is that you are just assuming what the other people are thinking...yet what don't you assume? that you are ok with calling someone else a racial slur just the same as they are ok with calling you one...have you ever considered maybe you DESERVE to be called a fuckin cracker? there are good and bad sides to every race...it just so happens we've invented funny (albeit highly offensive) terms to describe the bad side and nothing to describe the good...in summation...name calling goes both ways...
moving on...
~You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live~
ok someone doesn't understand fully the concept of violence...one of the many definitions for "violence" on dictionary.com is "Abusive or unjust exercise of power"...hmm who do we know that...througout history...has exercised a gross abuse of power time and time again on peoples of every descent...oh wait that's right...it's WHITE PEOPLE! this is what is generally meant by violence when referring to the treatment of minorities by the white aristocracy...maybe the ghettos are dangerous because of the economic conditions set up by multi-national corporations headed up by...white people! or perhaps they are in such a state because of the countless illicit drugs (mary jane excluded of course) allowed to be distributed among the inner cities by certain federal agencies...headed by white people...now i know you're thinking "you're just a conspiracy theorist with nothing to back up ur claims"...but i submit to you the greatest piece of evidence i have in supporting every claim i make to you in this post....HISTORY! read it sometime...and not the textbooks you got in your high school (which most likely were written by the majority and approved by a mostly white school board)...read the works of howard zinn or noam chomsky...both white guys who understood the concepts i illustrated above...but enough of that...there's plenty more for me to deconstruct here...

...with regards to the holidays...there are days for white people to celebrate their position in the world...it's called EVERY OTHER FUCKING DAY OF THE YEAR!! we are constantly barraged by the white/judeo-christian culture that it is celebrated on the unconsciously level everyday by every member of society...you may not realize it but you are...when you go to the bank you are celebrating white power...when you shop at the mall you are celebrating white power...when you turn on the television you are celebrationg white power...the american way of life was built on that backs of black labor fueled by white power which was only possible by the systemic cultural and physical genocide of the native peoples of the "new world"...so next time you ask for "holidays" celebrating your "white heritage"...shut your fucking mouth because everyone in this culture is forced on a daily basis to recognize the "supremacy" of whites...oh and by the way "WET (White Entertainment Television)" is every other fucking channel besides BET...dumb fucking asshole...

wow where do i begin with this one...YES THIS IS A RACIST STATEMENT...who is "you"? look at the crime statistics...if you go under "crimes by race" i'm pretty sure there isn't a "0%" next to "Whites"...now that we've got that out of the way...the power struggle between the police (and by extension the so-called "authority" running this nation) and the common man has nothing to do with race...and everything to do with the "have's" and the "have-not's"...there are cops of all races abusing their power and harrassing (in all forms) those who have done nothing wrong (and by wrong i mean in the true sense...not the american legal sense)...but while we're on the subject of race...what about the case of Amadu Dialo (sorry i prolly butchered the spelling but i'm too lazy to look it up)...he posed no threat to anyone...the man was holding a wallet...and was shot merely because he was a black man sitting on a stoop in the wrong neighborhood...the police (all white) were too ignorant to realize that he didn't even CLOSELY resemble the "suspect" they thought he was and too ignorant to realize what he was saying...so perhaps when they call the cops "racist" it's for good reason...and as far as the whole robbing and car jacking and all that other stuff...i point to the argument earlier of economic conditions set up by a corporate oligarchy headed none other by a rich, white aristocracy...
"white" people of the world you do have something to be proud of...the degradation of countless cultures worldwide...hooray!
ok i'm gonna wrap this up kinda...a racist is someone who feels that their race is superior to all others...and that behaviors and, specifically, social problems are all attributed to race...we need to stop with ALL of this pride shit and realize that we are all member of SPECIES...were are homo sapiens sapiens...the thinking man...it's high time we start acting like it...it's not the color of our respective skin that's at the root of our problems...it's the amount of money in our respective wallets...who holds the power? the wealthy...and though i've made some generalities for the sake of argument...all rich people aren't white and all white people aren't rich...the struggle for truth and justice lies not within the melonin but within the monetary...humankind needs to unite to flush out greed and indecency towards our fellow man...
