Someone posted this on a forum. I get about 2 or 3 emails like these a year, and I'm just fucking sick of it. Newsflash to author: The fear of losing your place in society is THE ULTIMATE PILLAR of racism. Hence, there is EVERYTHING "improper" about your little racist diatribe.
Enjoy reading:
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,' 'WhiteTrash,' 'White Shit,' 'Whitey,' Caveman' ... And that's OK. But when I call you, Spook, Nigger, Eggplant...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 Caesar 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 colour 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 e-mail. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on."

Seriously? How about you take the energy you spent writing this Piece-Of-Shit article, and use it to research the course of racism in this country? If you did that, you might be interested to learn that "White Pride" was the unofficial slogan of the KKK, that it is synonymous with "White Supremacy," and therefore suggesting we have a "White Pride" parade is either extraordinarily racist, or, what's more likely--extraordinarily ignorant. Surely, you are ignorant, because anyone with a 3rd grade education could tell you that the point of celebrating MLK Day is to commemorate a major national milestone in living up to the ideal of equality. That's sort of a founding principal of this country, so you actually spit in the face of what it means to be American when you imply that MLK Day is a "Black holiday." You are clearly discussing an issue too delicate and complex for your reptilian brain to grasp, and you should probably stop before you hurt yourself. For real.
Oh, and ummmm: St. Patrick's Day, Washington's B-Day, Lincolns B-Day, Columbus Day, Valentine's Day. All decidedly "White" holidays (by your somewhat remedial standards). My question to you is: Did you forget about these holidays while you were whining about the gross injustice of Cesar Chavez Day? Or do you think a holiday is only racist if it's named after a non-white person?
I just know that you're 40 years old, and have some form of higher education, which kind of makes all of this inexcusable. So I've got some bad news for you and your little insecurities: We have reached a point in the progress of our culture where we can finally start treating people like you as the pariahs that you are. You should be called out on your BS, and made to feel ashamed. You should do some soul-searching, see a psychologist, go to AA, whatever it takes. Just stop shitting your bigotry on my country.
