-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 racist.

-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.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

[*superstitious*]

I'm think it was a forward of some type, especially because of:

This is a really old argument, one that has a topic in Debate if memory serves (at least, the debate touched upon the subject).

Also, there is a fine line between a racial slur and a commonly used colloquialism.

Yeah but even colloquialism is sad... why would you be proud to call yourself [insert racial slur]?

I guess people no longer value their roots, which is sad. If someone argued that it's ok to use colloquialism or racism against their own people because they're the same race... then they have no Honor/Pride for who they are, and what their ancestors were.

If we humans keep it up this way, culture will be dead yet made into nothing but a facade.

^ Black people didn't have anything to do with it (Thats what I;m saying)

lol Nor were the Chinese, the South Americans, the Jews, Australians etc...
If you have a problem with these national holidays in your country (America) then don't celebrate them, you have your constitutional rights.

Yeah but these culture wasn't apart of the beginning of America( well not that I know of). Just like the topic starter, he mention all African American holidays, so I was naming some for him/her too. Everyday at school we learn about white history in every class except of math. I'm glade black people have at least one month.

I hate to break it to you... but your race wasn't the only race that was brutally beaten, enslaved, murdered etc... I understand the history your ancestors had, but realistically speaking, your ancestors aren't the only ones. Racism, enslavement, and overall hatred has existed all over the world, believe it or not.
