Proud To Be White


Someone finally said it.

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.

Some pass me on the street

and sneer in my direction.

They Call me "White boy,"

"Cracker," "Honkey,"

"Whitey," "Caveman,"

.....And that's OK.

You say that whites commit a lot

of violence against you,

so why are the ghettos the most

dangerous places to live?


They have the United Negro College Fund.
They have Hispanic History Month.
They have Martin Luther King Day.
They have Asian History Month.
They have Black History Month.
They have Cesar Chavez Day.
They have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
They have Yom Hashoah.
They have Kawanza.
They have the NAACP.
And 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 the White History Month

.....We'd be racist.

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?

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 red,

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 is nothing improper about this e-mail.

Let's see which of you

are proud enough to send it on...


That would be Me sending it on



Unfortunately, it is so very true.........

I'll bet this doesn't go very far on the email circuit.

There is nothing wrong with being proud of your heritage, but this e-mail is simplistic in its view of things. The reason those organizations were formed was to help promote minority businesses and to advance minorities in general to help our society. That's not such a bad thing. Not too long ago, Blacks and Hispanics were certainly at a disadvantage in our society. I believe we've come a long way since those days, but I do think racism still exists today, both ways. This e-mail preaches exclusion, not inclusion. That's the problem I have with it.

I agree that male, caucasian, Christian, Americans are the only people who can be legally discriminated against.

My Dad was Hispanic, but a fifth generation US American. My mom is white of English decent. I married a white woman of Irish and German decent, but her grandfather had a quarter Hispanic blood. So, that makes my twins Mexican-English-Irish-German Americans!!!!

Kind of silly, huh?

I'm half German, half Italian.

We were allies during the war and formed the basis of the Axis Powers. American intervention eventually doomed this coalition, something I will NEVER forget!

Can you imagine the uproar if someone made a movie (starring 2 white guys/brothers) called "Black Chicks"?

If you're proud to be white, you must be proud to be better than to have to be rewarded for being so, imo.
