Topic: I am not tring to offend anyone | |
---|---|
I got this in an Email on myspace I want to know what y'all think of it,
is it wrong? is it ok? is it true? I do not want to start a fight I just wanna know what other ppl think/feel. 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 "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? 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? There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. |

Martin Luther King said "I have a Dream"
A dream of integration, to see each other as individuals.... I do believe that it will come true, but not in the near future. America is the melting point of all humanity, as I see it. Here is where people came to end oppression, but started a new breed of people... can you truly say you are Irish, English, Polish or even African, Puertorrican or Mexican. Each and every one of us come from a mixture of races, and that mixture will continue to grow unitl there is only one - that of Earthlings - one World, one Race. I believe that that is Mr. Luthers Dream. And if people see it that way we may be able to survive. And posibly get there a lot faster.... It is not the color that makes an individual but his intelligence and ability to help others. |

I figure if your here... your american... your skin color should not be
an issue... sadly others DO. I have raised my children to embrace all people as just people, not black, white, yellow, green, purple etc.... I just wish others would do the same. |

Crazy J.....this is a strong topic and yes, cutltures that are
considered "minorities" need to stop crying over the bullshit from occurrences that are more than 200 years old. There is a flipside to this now because of the intense fight that our forefathers had to put up with to give us what we have now. There are ample opportunities out there for every person on this planet, but it's up to the individual to capitalize on these options. Not all blacks are racist, some are because of historic value, some are because of jealousy....but then again I know racism plays the same role within every culture on earth. By the way, Chuckee, you look toooooo damn good in your pics. |

The same has become VERY true of religion in the western world too.
I'm a Christian, but if you're not and I talk to you about my belief, or "force" you to put up with seeing Nativaty scenes at Christmas, or be allowed ANY public semblence of my religion, I'm shoving it down your throat. But if I have to put up with YOUR religion on a daily basis, I better be tolerant and accepting of it. Feel free to replace Christian with any other belief system, it still works. |
