Racist Insight ............. Funny but true 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 TVs 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 Ameri-
cans. 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 United Negro College Fund. 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 US.
Yet if there were 'White 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 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??
There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have lost most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!
BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!
It's not a crime yet .. but getting real close!

Oh right wing dad, does he not realize that that there are so many "ethnic" organizations, because "white" IS the "default race". Wait, no, institutionalized racism went out with the reconstruction. DUUUH
YAY DAD!
1) I wonder what kind of "RIGHTS" he thinks he's lost?
2) Newsflash: Minorities are more likely to embrace a cultural identity if they're living in a society of other people, especially if they have a history of being marginalized. I don't think anyone chants "black power" or has special "black TV stations" in Africa.
3) We do have WET (White Entertainment Television). It's called the Country Music channel.
4) Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, and Chink are nastier names than "Whitey" or "White Boy".
5) Whites don't chant "White Pride" for two reasons: one, it doesn't mean anything, and two, the people who already say it are Klan members. We'd rather not associate with that.
I don't even need Snopes to tell me that Michael Richards said nothing like that. (And LOL, during his "trial"? His trial for what? Being a racist asshole isn't a crime.)
Putting the other BS of this screed aside -- leave it to our right-wing dads to turn MICHAEL RICHARDS into some kind of folk hero. Sigh.
This is an old one. I've already got it a couple of times.
My poor grandfather doesn't realize he's sending me rehashes.
Michael Richards' career crashed and burned at that point, and as I recall his response was rather more... penitent.
And "court"? Wtf?
Logically speaking he's inferring that no white persons live in ghettos. That doesn't make sense lame debater.
Late to the party on this one, but I wanted to add that most of those [Ethnic] [Generic Thing Here] only exist because of structural racism. A lot of white people get uncomfortable when you point out that there is racism, as if THEY are being personally accused of being racist. They weren't, but then you start thinking that the Lady doth protest too much...
If someone sent me this, I would say "Take your e-mail and fuck off!"
