PROUD TO BE WHITE

I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is. Proud to be White, Michael Richards, makes his point.

Michael Richards, better known as Kramer from TV’s Seinfeld does make a good point.

This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act.

He makes some very interesting points. Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? 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”, “Whitie”, “Caveman” .. and that’s OK. But, when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel Head, Porch Monkey, Sand Nigger, 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 in?

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Caesar 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 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 have the just plain Chamber of Commerce. I wonder who pays for that?

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black America 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 USA . Yet, if there was a ” White College “, that would be a racist institution.

You believed that in the Million Man March that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race or rights’ we’d be racists. You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you are not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot 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 TO BE WHITE. 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. Sadly, I think that not many will. That’s why we have lost most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won’t stand up for ourselves! It’s not a crime yet, but it’s getting real close!

Lee ADDS: How true. I am not prejudiced but see this all the time.
