I wake up this morning to check my myspace and i decide to read through some of the bulletins that have been posted...this is what I find...
"If it offends ppl sorry but this is soo the truth
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 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, 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 white.
I am proud.
But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
Repost if you agree"
So here is my reply to this person...
First of all. Yes that does offend people. Me personally because yet again it is stereotyping me with all of the "you say", "you say". Believe it or not, there are actually some people who don't go around saying, 'the white man does this and that to me.'
I personally would never call a white person a "Cracker" or any of that other crap that is listed. Because to me it is just as bad as the word "NIGGER". I hear other white people call each other "crackers" and what not and I don't join in.
The reason there are so many organizations for minorities is because honestly, we ARE at a disadvantage. We do need a bit more help. History is not just something you read in a book at school. History affects today. When we were brought here, we had nothing. Families over years and years pass things down to thier children little by little and the children continue to build on what thier parents passed down. Again I say WE HAD NOTHING. So when you have nothing to pass down and someone else has alot, your children are at an immediate disadvantage.
So you say that if you marched for your rights, we would call you racist. I don't say this to be funny but please enlighten me on what rights you really would have to march for? Have you ever been offered a job and not gotten it because the employer found out you were black? Have you ever been pulled over and 'cuffed for walking or driving in a white neighborhood and you all of a sudden "fit the discription" of someone the cops were looking for? Have you ever been a 10-year-old child walking down the streets of Texas when a truck drives past you yelling racial slurs and throwing trash at you? I have. That's what we march for. EQUALITY. EQUAL RIGHTS.
About the Mr. Luther King Day. We celebrate him for what he did in the movement to have blacks be EQUAL to whites. Was that not important? Or maybe it wasn't as important as CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS stealing the land from the Indians and calling it America. That was important for American History, also and he has a day. So what's the deal about MLK?
As far as this "White Pride Day"... Just like the word "NIGGER" what does the term "White Pride" have attached to it? The Ku Klux Klan.
So, yeah, we "rob you, car jack you and shoot at you"? If I am not mistaken, the last car jacking I saw (that I witnessed with my own eyes in Los Angeles, CA) was performed by what I thought was a white man. He must have been a black man who was really in need of a tan, since of course, we ARE the olny people that car jack people. Here's your little trivia for the day, white people use guns, steal cars, and rob people too!
White people are not the only ones that can be racist. ANYONE can be racist when they say things and do things that are demeaning to another racial group of people.
So from now on when you feel like posting this ignorant, one-sided garbage, try thinking a little bit.
