You call me:

"Honkey"
"Whitey"
"Gringo"
"Sage"
and you think it's OK.

But when I call you:
"Jungle bunny"
"Spear chunker"
"Coon"
"Wet back"
"Jiggaboo"
"Porch monkey"
"Sand nigger"
"Rag head"
"Towelhead"
"Camel Jockey"
"Gook"
"Spook"
"Nigger"
"Kike"
"Slant eyes"
or
"Chink"
you call me a racist.


-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 racist.

-If we had a White Pride Day... you would call us racist.

-If we had white history month... we'd be racist.

-If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives... we'd be racist.

-If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...you know we'd be racist.

-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.

-Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them. they all got sent to court for being racist but the african-american, Latino, and Asia clubs were not even questioned.

-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.

and

I am proud.

But, you call me a racist.



Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Now watch, I'll be racist for reposting this

So what? no-one will re-post this for fear of being called racist

Ouch. You just have to read her post very often to grasp her ideas, that's all.

The posts she was making in this topic didn't sound very educated. But if you say so.

I think when you're not ignorant about it, racism is funny. I call my friend a spik or beaner all the time and it strengthens our relationship. Because we aren't afraid to say what we want.

Don't you think that would work on a giant scale? I don't see how name calling is bad. I mean, yeah, it's stereotyping, but it's funny. Call me cracker, or whatever. I don't care. But if you say that I can't call you coon, or spik, or kike, or whatever, then that's racist right there. We should just laugh it off.

Now, if you say some one is less than you because of their race, then sure, that's wrong. But name calling shouldn't be. I mean, comics get away with it. So, what makes them more special?

I'm not racist - but I call all my black friends racist names. It's nothing personal - it's just funny. Plus, I don't mean it seriously.
