People complain about racisim...i found this on myspace and want to see opions on this...?

Question

what could be the reason behind alot of this being true and how can we as americans ever stop being so freaking stupid about racelets see mccain or obama fix this otherwise the usa isnever going forward on issues that affect some peoples every day life

RaCiSt!?!?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans,

Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans,

etc.

And then there are just Americans.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my

direction. You call me "Whiteboy," "Cracker,"

"h****y," "Whitey," "Caveman" and that's OK.

But when I call you, ******, k**e, Towelhead,

Sand-******, camel Jockey, Beaner, ****, or c***k 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 ***** 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?

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, 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?

Answer 1

And how does any of this affect your life? You sound like a whiney spoilt brat. And your examples aren't even original. Why would there be WET channel? When almost all television is white people with the odd asian or african american here and there. Just because it doesn't have a label doesn't mean they don't pick more white people over minorities. Africans and Asians are a very small minority in America so why not just let them have their entertainment and their communities. Do you feel threatened or scared?

Answer 2

Very nice.  Thank you

Answer 3

Honestly, yes, that is racist, but you're honestly lucky (IMO) to be born a White person in America. I myself am an American born Asian and I always find it irritating when people find the need to describe me as an Asian-American while describing the (White) person right next to me simply American. What this means to me is that they don't see me as the same kind of American as they do the White people, they just see me as the child of an immigrant or a foreigner. Yes, comments that you listed are mean and rude, but nowhere as rude as what some people say about the other races. Yes, White people commit crimes, and Black people commit crimes, h**l, Asian people, Indians, Christians, Muslims...commit crimes too. In Ghettos, the crime rate might not necessarily be higher because of race, it might be higher because often, the people that live there have little money, and they end up growing up in disadvantaged homes, while learning from bad role models, which they gain behaviors from and pass on. As for Black History Month, and Martin Luther King Day, that is used to celebrate that Blacks, have come so far, and that the ancestors of current day Blacks fought very hard for their rights in which they so rightfully deserve. Also, Martin Luther King Day is to celebrate a great man that had wonderful views and didn't feel the need to use violence to make his point. As for "WET", honestly, I don't think that many people know the difference between White pride and White superiority, even the white supremists. You should thank the White supremists for that one. White History Month, are you kidding me, we celebrate White history everyday in school, while we only learn about amazing people like MLK for one month. Also, why would you need WET, when there are so many White people on television already and again as someone else had said the odd person of another race.

And yes, no offence but you're racist because you are stereotyping and lumping all Black people into one category.

Answer 4

"You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi"

Erm this is religious, it's got nothing to do with race at all. That's like saying just because people have Christmas, that's racist. Ma'uled Al-Nabi shouldn't even be in this equation.

Answer 5

I dunno probably the same reason as the uk.

In the UK you are racist if you say the word "blackboard" how bad is that?

And also in the uk you are racist if you are born and bred british and say you don't like asylum seekers and non christians and non brits. but if you are an asylum seeker, terrorist, non christian, or basically not british then you are handed everything from benefits, fancy houses and what not, you are also allowed to wear your religions clothes even though christians are banned from wearing a necklace with a cross in many places and you can rant about wanting to kill brits, christians, etc. Also you can say things like "white trash" and when the white person retaliates its the white person who is labelled as the racist.

Some justice that. Thats why i don't agree with immigration.

Answer 6

*sigh* everything on here and in life is the battle between black and white why can't everyone look beyond the skin color.

racism comes in all races no matter what color it's not just a certain race.
