TheRealist Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK. But when I call you, [racist term], Kike, Towelhead, Sand-[racist term], Camel Jockey, Beaner, [grime], or [racist term] 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 an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists. 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 WHITE AND I AM PROUD But, you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists? Repost if you agree This is a myspace bulletin. It's only a myspace bulletin but no way can this be serious. Very ignorant. "You rob us, carjack us, shoot at us" Are you serious? The reason you would be racist because face the [bleep]ing fact, people who go around claiming white proud are either doing in it jest or because they have some sort of racial predjudice. Whites don't need a [bleep]ing WET, or White College funds because the playing field is already tilted in your favor.

TheRealist Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 This [cabbage] is insulting. When someone puts everyone in a group, when a person categorizes a whole race, a whole people, into a statement such as "You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK. But when I call you, [racist term], Kike, Towelhead, Sand-[racist term], Camel Jockey, Beaner, [grime], or [racist term] you call me a racist. Then guess what, that's being racist. Not every black person, not every latino person, and not every arab person thinks that it's right to use "cracker" to describe white people. Here's another thing, if a person came up to me, and called me a beaner to my face, regardless what race they're from, I'd call them racist. I don't give a [bleep]. Racism isn't just a black and white thing. I've had black people, latinos, and asians being racist to me. I wonder if the person who wrote that bulletin even knows the meaning of racism. Racism is thinking that some one is inferior because of their race. As we grow, the feeling that minorities are inferior to white people is re-inforced everynight when we watch the news. This isn't "us" being victimized. United Negro College Fund? I think people have forgotten that only 40 years ago, it was illegal for a white man and a black man to sit together in the same bus seat. People act like black america being discriminated against is something that went away as soon as slavery was abolished. It wasn't, Jim Crow and pseudo-laws such as "Seperate But Equal" kept black america at the bottom of the barrel for more than 100 years after slavery was abolished in places like Washington D.C. Black America, at least at the moment, has to be helped as much as possible. If a white person thinks it's unfair for them to get help, and think things should be even, then I suggest their family gets put in chains for 400 years, then the the playing fields will be even. "But I've never put anyone in chains, I've never had a slave, it's not my fault what happened to them." Yeah, that's understandable, but when you imply that the crimes of the past should be forgotten, then the crimes are bound to repeat themselves. Why do you think we have places like holocausts museums? It's so people are aware of the evils man are capable of, it's so we remember and avoid those circumstances. Slavery might be gone, but when I see things(such as this bulletin) like this, it's obvious that the mentallity is still there. Martin Luther King Day is to celebrate the life of a man who helped the fight to stop racism. If the person who wrote that bulletin wants things to be even, he should be reading a book on MLK to find out how that man was willing to devote his life so that America could be equal. I'm seriously disgusted that this person would call Martin Luther King Day something unfair, while claiming he wants equality. No one said that Martin Luther King day has to be "for" black people, there are millions of white people that respect and honor the message of love that MLK preached. I've never called anyone racist for being proud of who they are. I've never seen anyone else being called racist for being proud of being white. Open your mind, don't victimize yourself. Buh bye.

Oy_the_Great Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yeah? It may be true that we white ppl would be considered racists if we had our own white television, college funds etc etc. But it has a reason; we already are treated with more care and respect. I'm Belgian and foreigners get a ton more of those special treatments, sometimes they even get out of hand. (for ex.: socialist party wants foreigners to have more benefits in many aspects of society than native Belgians) BUT I still think it's crucial to give the minorities more chances than the majority, since most ppl of majorities get treated better anyway. Society still has a lot of stereotype givens, such as men's wages are higher than their female colleagues that do the same job, white people get hired a lot easier etc. I'm absolutely pro integration, even if it may seem a little too far-fetched. What website is it btw? censorship on these forums goes a long way :P Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

knives669 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 It's not just white people who get called racists. Black people are called racists as well. I'm a white female, and I've been discriminated against being white, and being female. There are racists of every culture, there are racists in every race. I'm proud of my culture, I'm proud of my heritage. My family is part Irish, Native American, and English. I respect all of my ancestors, just as I would anyone else's ancestors. I don't look at the color of someone's skin. I go much deeper than that. If you're black, and you're a [wagon], I'm going to treat you just like a white/Asian/Indian/Latino(a) [wagon]. I'm sure everyone in their life has faced racism or discrimination of some kind. It's simply something that's always going to exist. I'm not a racist. I do not respect racists, and that's all I care about. Now, that Myspace bulletin was rather ignorant, but there are some very good points made within it. The white kids at my school are always bullied by the black kids. A black kid can call a white kid a racist name and the only thing the white kid is allowed to do is shrug it off. Retaliation=racism. I probably hear "It's because I'm black." a million times a day. A white kid accidentally bumps into a black kid, the black kid can accuse him of shoving him in some racist act and get away with it. Also, I hate hearing the slavery excuse. The common southern family could not afford to own slaves. A very small percentage of Americans owned slaves back when slavery was legal. (Which might I add was a long time ago) And it's not legal anymore. It hasn't been legal for a long long time. Native Americans were forced off their homelands. Ever heard of the "Trail of Tears"? If you haven't it doesn't surprise me one bit, because no one [bleep]es about it anymore. The bottom line is, every race has faced and continues to face discrimination. It's not uncommon. What makes someone a good person is how they handle themselves when they face discrimination. You shouldn't take it to heart. If someone is going to judge you by the color of your skin, or your background, you don't need to be around them anyway. TheRealist, I can perfectly understand why you are upset by the myspace bulliten. But, you have to remember that some people are ignorant, and obnoxious. Just as some people are open-minded and tolerant. Don't take it so seriously. It doesn't pay to. You don't need people who won't accept you for who you are. They're not worth the time and energy you're putting into them. All things being said, Racism is not tolerated in today's society. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated in today's society. The only thing someone can do by making a racist comment is make themselves look ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying all black people, just a good portion of them. Just like if someone made a bulletin about 'redneck white people', I wouldn't be offended because I know I don't fall under that category. Of course! Imagine you'd be part of a minority group of, say, 10% of the people, that STILL gets treated worse in our society, without obvious reasons. If you'd call the 90% of white ppl names, it'd be a form of self-defense, because poor minorities always feel ignored and abused. If the big group of white poeple do it, it's without a particular reason, no self-defense is needed at all. That's what I call racist. I myself am 'white' (I dont give a [cabbage] about colour, I'm even a little jealous on a good tan) but I would never blame a coloured person when he calls me whitey (or whatever) when he's alone. It's a completely different case when he calls me that when I'm walking in the Bronx; then I'm a minority. So he should accept me defending myself and he should'nt be using aggresive language. Kinda complicated but it all comes down to respect for one another. Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating.

Just like if someone made a bulletin about 'redneck white people', I wouldn't be offended because I know I don't fall under that category. I do see your point... Sorry for the outburst by the way. But um. You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK. Who the [bleep] said it's OK????? WHO????? There are black racists, i see them daily, as much as i see undercover white ones. But when I call you, [racist term], Kike, Towelhead, Sand-[racist term], Camel Jockey, Beaner, [grime], or [racist term] you call me a racist. You [bleep]ing ARE. Those are racial slurs. The term [racist term] alone is easily the most powerful and widespread slur on earth. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live The most ignorant [bleep]ing statement so far. So... no white people are living in the ghettos of america? were you think all the BLACK PEOPLE LIVE. And ANY place that has poverty is going to have a higher crime rate than your cushy suburbs. USE LOGIC 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. There is no such thing nationally as a "Black Pride Day". WOW. And WET=TV in general. Yall even control BET... so STFU. If we had white history month, we'd be racists. -dead- White History Month = every month of the year including Feb in some places. You always make your pillagers into heros. (i.e. Columbus, Benjamin Franklin, every American president) If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists. Why do you need advancement? WTFFFFF. You are white. You have the edge. This nation is run by whites. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists. See above bolded statement. 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 obviously dont REALLY know what the MMM stood for. It wasnt FOR JUST rights. It was for Black men, to help spread a message to them about how to be BETTER fathers, Husbands, and Civilians in general. Why is it that everytime a group of black people are protesting together, or marching together, they think were marching for rights. We have equal rights. We have to fight to keep them. Did you know they still vote EVERY [bleep]ING year in congress on the black people's right to vote? Alot of people don't know that there rights are PENCILED IN THE [bleep]ING BILL OF RIGHTS. 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. That's because the only people that are portrayed showing white pride ARE RACISTS. Get some new representatives. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. WOWOWOWOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW, you nullified that entire thing. 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. WOWOWOWOWWOW. I guess cuz he's black, he's a drug dealer, and a gang member. AUTOMATICALLY. WHatever happened to regular guys like me getting pulled over cuz I'm black and i drive a Lexus around the "rich" part of town to go to my manager's house? What ever happened to the guys who get shot 40 times for pulling out his wallet? Cuz cops are so [bleep]ing paranoid, due to subliminal racism pounded in there brains telling them that black is bad??? I AM WHITE AND I AM PROUD Good for you. But you are also racist and you don't even realize it. But don't worry, your not alone. There are plenty of PEOPLE in this world who are the same way, of all skintones. But, you call me a racist. Yep. Why is it that only whites can be racists? Not True. Game set, match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you called an aboriginal a racist slur, you would have your head kicked in yet if they call you white (insert word here) and you retaliated, you would have the full force of the law imposed on you. I think what that person on NotSafeForYou was trying to get across is double standards. I don't know how it is over in America or where ever you are from, but where i live, i can clearly see the double standards. The aboriginals are able to do what ever they like and in most cases, get away with it. For instance, i was driving home from work the other night and i happened to drive past a group of aboriginals and one threw a stick at a group of white people. Of course, they got away with it because if the whites had retaliated, they would scream bloody murder. I'm just rambling now, but i do see what the bloke on NotSafeForYou is getting at and i do agree with him to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
