Hating
people because of their colour is wrong.
And
it doesn't matter which colour does the hating.
It's
just plain wrong! (Muhammad Ali)
H.G.
Wells stated, “Our true nationality is mankind.”
I'm proud to be a Canadian.
I'm proud to be a Christian.
I'm proud of my Culture and Heritage.
I'm proud of my Courage to combat Life's inflictions.
I'm proud of the Circumstances whereby I made wise decisions.
I'm proud of the Wonders in this world.
And I'm proud to be White.
Usually I steer away from controversial topics. In the following sent
to me by Carolyn, I share Michael Richards comments...to which you
can agree, stalemate them or totally ignore his words.
Better known as Kramer from TV's Seinfeld, Michael Richards does make
a good point. This was his defence speech in court after making
racial comments in his comedy act. I do agree that he raises a few
interesting points.
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, Whitey, Caveman'...and that's OK. But when I
call you 'Nigger, Kike, Towel Head, Sand-Nigger, Camel Jockey,
Beaner, Gook or Chink'...you call me racist.
You
say that whites commit a lot of violence against you...so why are the
ghettos the most dangerous places to live in?
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 NAACP.
You
have BET.
Imagine
if we had WET (White Entertainment Television)...we'd be racists.
If
we had White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If
we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If
we had any organization for whites only to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd
be racists.
We
have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of
Commerce...and then we 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 held yearly.
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 United States...yet, if there were 'White
Colleges', that would be a racist college.
In
the Million Men 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 racist.
I
am proud... but you call me racist.
Why
is it that only whites can be racists?
That's
why we have LOST most of our RIGHTS in this country:
We
won't stand up for ourselves.
BE
PROUD TO BE WHITE!
It's
not a crime YET...but getting very close!
Words
of Wisdom
Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud,
adopts as a last resource...pride in the nation to which he belongs;
he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies, tooth
and nail,
thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.
(Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays & Aphorisms)
Be
not like...the pot that calls the kettle black!
