Why is it that only whites can be racists?
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 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
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 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 color 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
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 andorange, 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?
Whites are not the only people who can be racist, but because everything is geared towards European standards of rule, laws etc then the races that have been concquered and therefore ruled by European governments and standards of living have been forced to have organizations exclusively for that race to enhance that race and their morale as a race. It is not about excluding because of anything other then those reasons. Races such as Native Americans, African Americans, Latin Americans etc. races who have been concquered by Europeans have been forced to assimilate into the European way of life and have been forced to practise their own respective cultural beliefs, practises and languages on their own,in their own environment, and have often been opressed by Europeans to NOT practise their cultural heritage. Therefore when it comes to having certain events, clubs etc just for that race, its not about being racist or excluding just because, its about trying to enhance that race and the self-esteem of that race to compete, celebrate together for self-esteem and acceptance purposes. And this does not only include races, it also goes for gender, age groups, religion.
On the other hand, whites have directly and indirectly excluded non-white people solely based on race for hundreds of years and still do, but that does not mean non-white people are innocent of this, they can be racist also. So therefore, whites are not the only ones who can be racist, all races have been gulit of racism at one time or another.

"On the other hand, whites have directly and indirectly excluded non-white people solely based on race for hundreds of years and still do",,I would like to add to this, white people, or Europeans, have excluded based on race to degrade, dehumanize and to show domineerance over non-white people, and that is one of the main differences.

We are no longer under the rule of the Europeans. This is America. You said: "when it comes to having certain events, clubs etc just for that race, its not about being racist or excluding just because, its about trying to enhance that race and the self-esteem of that race to compete, celebrate together for self-esteem and acceptance purposes". Guess what? If I wanted to have an all-white club or an all-white gathering, for celebration or for self esteem and acceptance purposes, I would be called a racist. If I wanted to celebrate my heritage with other people of my heritage, I would be called a racist because the people of my heritage happen to be white. So from now on, everyone can call me a racist. I don't care. I am proud to be white. I am proud of who I am and where I came from. If that makes me a racist, then I guess I am a racist. But this also means that anyone else who is proud of their race and where they come from, then they too, are racists.

Another thing for you to consider: White people are not the only ones who have showed dominance: Black people had enslaved white people in the past as well. Guess what: I have NEVER enslaved anyone. Just because people of European descent have enslaved races, does not mean that ALL white people were doing this. Do you know how many countries are in Europe? Not all of those countries were enslaving people. It's was not ALL whites doing this. It was the Governments doing this. And because of this, I am not allowed to celebrate my heritage without being called a racist. I was born in 1973. I do not remember the slave days. I was not around then. So why is it ok for you to celebrate, and I can not? You were not around either. You do not remember anything that happened then because you were not born. I did not take place in anything that happened back then and neither did my family. For me to hold a grudge against blackie because of what they did to whites hundreds of years ago would be wrong right? So why is it ok for them to hold that grudge. It's a double standard. But it's all good because I will celebrate as much as I want. The moment someone calls me a racist to my face for doing so will be the moment that person finds out what it's like in the afterworld.
