How many are actually paying attention to this?
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 how many are proud enough to send it on"

If the world was a fair place and every one truly equal then these organizations would very few if any members or support.

The e-mail above only tells me one thing, things havent changed that much and some still live in the hope that things will go back to the good old days where non-white knew there place and be grateful for what ever scraps they got from the table.

Racism is a two way street. Racism in any form is wrong. But it is wrong for everybody. That to me was the whole point

Actually Sally if you read the lengthy email which was posted earlier, and this is the way I interpreted it, was not that whites necessarily wanted to have all the groups and organisations that the blacks and other minorities have, but that whites are sick and tired of being labeled racists whereas others aren't. I know from personal experience that racism isn't only confined to Caucasions. The earlier we all start admitting that simple fact the healthier things will be.

But surely isnt it the whole point that white people dont need these groups because they have all that these groups seek? Maybe the fact that these groups need to exist proves that all are not treated as equal in the first place. I go back to what i said before if all was fair and equal then people would be laughing at these groups rather than joining them.
