To Be White

[dtex]

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 ni**er,
Kike, Towel head,
Sand-ni**er, 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 Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP.
And 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-only Colleges in the US ,
yet if there were "White-only 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
who is running from the LAW and
posing a threat to ALL of 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's no way in hell that John McCain could have referred to a black person as a typical black person and get away with it like Obama did calling his grandmother a typical white person.

[texiban001]

That's because the liberal media would crucify him and then justify it with the "white guilt" that the media seems to be infected with.

The only thing I feel guilty about being white is.......NOTHING! I will not apologize for being born who I am or what color I happen to be. I guess that these other races are actually trying to find something of which to be proud so they try to trash whitey for all of his accomplishments. ;D

No one should call their grandmother typical. My grandmother was your typical black woman. She hugged and kissed allot. Of course being white, I didn't like hugging and kissing or her fried chitlins. But God bless her, she loved me even when I rejected her affection.

[texiban001]

Both sets of grandparents are gone now and I miss them a lot. My MaMaw on my Mom's side was a country girl that never got past 5th grade and my Papaw was a good ole country boy who barely made it thru 8th grade but they raised their kids and all of them got at least a HS diploma. My dad's parents were raised in Oklahoma and neither one of them had a HS diploma, but all their kids got one. None of them were racist or prejudiced but they did expect people to earn a living and act right. Why can't the blacks get it through their heads that if you act and live right, no one will care what color you are?

[iowafan]

I just treat people as I meet them. I don't worry about their color. I figure we all have to get over ourselves.

[texiban001]

A agree. The problem that I have with a lot of blacks is that they think that they are "owed" respect. Sorry, respect is something you EARN. Two of my best friends in the service were black. Jimmy and Kimbel and these two guys would give you the shirt off their backs. They also got my drunk ass back to the ship on numerous occasions! ;D A sailor drinking, can you believe it?!

[iowafan]

Sounds like you fit the sailor bill. You meet all kinds of all kinds of people. Numerous stupid whites out there. I may be one of them if Jbarron tells the truth!
