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 'Nigger',
'Towel head', 'Sand-nigger',
'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 Hispanic History Month.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Asian History Month.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Kawanza.
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"
You would call us racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,
a Black Chamber of Commerce,
and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
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 comes a point in your life when you realise who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future ♥
The word God is, for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. -- Einstein

Kinda true huh? Reminds me of an episode of Carlos Mencia where he dared white folks to put a "white pride" bumper sticker on their car, because if they did they'd get their asses beat down, very true!!
I totally agree Jenna..it is so frusterating! Why can't we have a White History Month? Like there are no white people who have inspired and done great things for the world? It seriously is something that bothers me so much!
