We all know of Facebook of course and today something caught my eye that absolutely made my stomach churn and my anger burn and here it is:
Proud to be White
Michael Richards makes his point......
Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.
This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points...
Someone finally said it.. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab 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, black person, Kike, Towel head, Sand-black person, 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??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
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 Note. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!
BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!
It's not a crime YET... but getting very close!
It is estimated that ONLY 5% of those reaching this point in this note, will pass it on. So if your feeling brave enough to be called a racist, pass it on lets others read and know that we are victimized by being the only racist color.
There was a rant following it against this post which I was quite impressed by and here it is (taken with permission of course):
I do not believe in the points that are made here. Any of the aforementioned races were DESCRIMINATED AGAINST and therefore DESERVE REPAYMENT. It is out of respect and forgiveness that they have special holidays, scholorships, schools, political seats ETC.
"You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black... Read More gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist."
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Stereotype much? Because ALL african americans are gangsters. They ALL comit heinus crimes. White people kill, rape and rob JUST like any other race.
And please explain to me what right WE have lost?
I think it is extremely rude to post this and tag people, giving them a bad reputation for anyone who looks at thier notes. For this reason I am untagging myself. And I hope every other person is just as disgusted as I am.
I don't know waht discussion should be up here about this but I thought it would be a good thing for people to see.
