There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Indian Americans etc.
And then there are just plain old Americans.
You can pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me ‘White boy,’ “Gringo’, ‘Roundeye’, ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey,’ ‘Ofay’, ‘Charlie’, ‘Caveman’ and that will be generally accepted, that’s considered “OK”.
Conversely, however, when I call you: Nigger, Spic, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, Jap, or Chink. You are outraged, you call me a racist, and modern society joins in the chorus behind you.
You say that whites commit most 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.
There are organizations like Yom Hashoah and La Raza. You have Mauled Al-Nabi. You even have Kwanzaa. If we say “Merry Christmas” it is now considered offensive.
You have the NAACP. You have BET. If we had WET (“White Entertainment Television”), that would surely be labeled racist. 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 designed to ‘advance’ OUR lives, we’d be racists.
There is a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce which welcomes all people. A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
There are over Sixty openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US . Yet if there were ‘White colleges’, that would surely be racist. And Lawsuits would follow!
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships. You know we’d be called racists.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. Yet if we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists,and the Press would echo that.And the politicians would give speeches against us.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you’re not afraid to announce it. You even band together under the banner “People of Color”. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, rape us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or Latino drug dealer, criminals clearly posing a threat to society, you call him a racist, and he is prosecuted for doing his job, for protecting us.
I am proud of my heritage. But you call me a racist for saying that.
Think about it! Why is it that only whites can be accused of being racists?
Now. There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let’s see which of you are proud enough and courageous enough to send it on? I sadly don’t think many will. And those that do forward it, will do so very carefully, worried that it will offend somebody. That’s why we haveLOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. And we are losing more everyday. Because, We won’t stand up for ourselves!
