Why is it that only whites can be racist.

I found this on PBnation.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and even "The Man" and you think it's OK.
But when I call you, "**edited**er", "**edited**", "Towelhead", "Sand-**edited**er", "Camel Jockey", "Beaner" or "*****" 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 say that you want to make a change in this country.
How? By protesting everything that we believe in? By trying to change everything that has made this country run fine for centuries?

You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah
You have Cinco de Mayo
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
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.

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 enjoy the thought of Driver's Licenses for illegals.
We enjoy the thought of people obeying the laws of the land in which they reside. No negotiations.

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 call each other "**edited**as", but when we call you that, 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.

We work hard to perserve our history.
You come along and try to re-write it.

We want a safe environment for our families and children.
You want to bring the ghetto to our neighborhoods.

I am WHITE.
I am PROUD.
I am an AMERICAN.

But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Well... I agree with some of that but making broad generalazations like "You want to bring the ghetto to our neighborhoods" is wrong.

Its stereotypical and not right.

Now, if you say gangster want to, then yea, but "you" is FAR too broad and wrong.

I think you'll find that anybody can be racist. The person who wrote the post, and by the looks of your sig and your views, your also well on your way... Sorry, about your luck whitebread. You can always blame your upbringing or something. 

I'm going to try really hard to stay out of this one....

Thank God that my signature embraces diversity in all it's glory!

Live and let live, I say.

I could care less what a persons' skin colour is, what God they pray to, or who they sleep with at night. A good person is a good person, and a sphincter-clown is a sphincter-clown. PERIOD.

heh... the play i saw on broadway, Avenue Q, has a song called "everyone's a little bit racist"... great song. 

Ignorance is bliss.

rofl if that's not a filter dodge i don't know what is....

Affirmative action has, in some places, compeltely usurped rightful meritocracy in favour of minorities. This isn't always the case, but when a less qualified person gets a job because he or she is subject to affirmative action and a white person gets screwed, that isn't just. People should earn things honestly and of their own merit, gender or race disregarded utterly except where a valid job qualification. Reverse discrimination is very much a reality.

And how often does this really happen?

Affirmitive Action is still, in forms, needed. All the people crying for the head of AA on a plate are further proof that it still is a very important and needed thing.

Also, no, reverse racisim is a buzzword, nothing more. Sorry.
