Default I call Bullshit

Black history month. Black heritage week. Miss Black America. Black entertainment tv. Black colleges. NAACP.Well you get the idea.Try changing any of these to white and you are a racist. And finally either you are an American or not. We all come from different back grounds. So what us up with African American???. I have plenty of friends with of all races so I do not have an axe to grind. But like I said Bullshit
Proud To Be White

Someone finally said it.
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, ******, Kike, Towel head,
Sand-******, 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?

Eh, i understand the point and everything as in reality it is quite racist. However, they do serve a needed purpose believe it or not. And is it really hurting you that they exist outside of the fact that it's hypocritical?


I hate those myspace bulletins that cycle around every so offten about this when those things are just as ignorant as those who are on the reverse end of the scale thinking black people should take over or some senceless bullshit.


But it's what ever and to each his own.

Most white kids in school now are at the disadvatage.If your a minority you get poits added to your SAT and ACT scores....they get there own scholarships and whats even worse is that if a white kid is equal to a minority and theres only room for one more person at the university they will take the minority.Pissed me off because many of my friends whos parents had money were getting all this stuff towards them because they were hispanic or black.BULLSHIT
