*Now watch, I'll be a racist for posting this [My Response]
I've seen a couple of people post this in their bulletins on Myspace. I completly disagree with it so I would like to post a response and share my thoughts. First is the original post, then a reaction from me. I also apologize for some of the language in this post.
You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK.
But when I call you, nigger, Kike, Towelhead, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner,wetback, 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 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.
I am white.
I am proud.
But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
Repost if you agree

*****Here's what I think*****
You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK.
--Most people do not think it's o.k. It's not, by the way
But when I call you, nigger, Kike, Towelhead, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner,wetback, Gook, or Chink you call me a racist.
-- Either racist or ignorant, or both. If you have a problem with someone, have the guts to find the real roots of it.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live.
--First of all, I don't hear minorities claim that very often, they usually reference discrimination, not violence. Second, the very existence of ghettos illustrates how society systematically ostracized people of color. These areas have had substandard education for decades. Poor education = no way out of poverty. Poverty breeds violence. The following organizations help to break this vicious cycle:
United Negro College Fund, NAACP, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, etc.
(FYI- the majority of sex crimes i.e, rape, and child molestation are commited by white males)
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah
Last time I checked, WE ALL benefited from these.
Ma'uled Al-Nabi is a Religious holiday, like.. um.. let me see...Christmas!
Do you know what Yom Hashoah is?!!
It is a day of remembrance for victims of the Holocaust.
What decent person would have a problem with that?
These last two are not even national holidays.
If we had WET(white entertainment television) we'd be racists.
--We do, it's called fox, ABC, CBS, and NBC
If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.
--There is no such thing as white, figure out what you really are then be proud! I am a proud German and no one accuses me of racism. What about the St Patrick's day parades? These were started by proud Irish "white" people to battle discrimination in those days. Yay for them.
If we had white history month, we'd be racists.
--Everyday is white history day, just go to school, or watch the history channel.
If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists.
--Those organizations were started because the ones already in place only catered to white men.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists.
--See above. There are plenty of college funds for Polish, German French, English, Irish, Daughters of the American Revolution, Etc. so this is not a valid argument.
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.
--As far as I know, the march was to encourage black men to be responsible to their families and show our government that they were breaking cycles of violence in their communities. Other races were welcome and it had very little to do with demanding 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.
--See above (proud of your real roots, your CULTURE)
I am white.
I am proud.
--Good for you. Give some thought to how you want your children to see the world.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
--Anybody can be a racist, not only white people.

I like this one the most;

--We do, it's called fox, ABC, CBS, and NBC" Everyone always uses the BET thing, I don't know why.
