His views may be representative of many people. I think those people that agree with his views voted 100% for our current president, and that BHO may also share some of his views, which of course he will never admit. Did you see the corner turn?

You mean to say that this is the ONLY group of people in the U S of A that has an "AGENDA ?!?!?!"

I am floored....

This is about the only thing I can agree with him on because I can't disprove it:

"For the past 2,000 years, white crimes against people-of-color include: slavery, imperialism & conquest, colonization, theft of resources, racism & discrimination, theft of dignity, robbing of language and culture... the list is endless. Wherever white people settle (ie. invade) they oppress, enslave, and abuse the indigenous non-white population."

This is great. 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 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, ******, Kike, Towel head, Sand-******, 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??

Now it's my turn...

Conspiracy theorist! It's all taken out of context, you have no proof. So what if he says it? That doesn't mean it has anything to do with his actual intentions. Don't worry, the red white and green helicopters flew over my house the other day so I don't think they'll be in your neighborhood. These aliens don't abduct. Time to get your tortilla hat out of the closet...

Well considering that up until just 4 decades ago, thisa nation was all about being white. How many whites got strung up on trees just for being white ? How many whites got doors to higher education closed in their faces ?

I can go on and on.. There was never a need for a "NAAWP" because the system was and still is for the most part, about the white man. The white man didn't need a helping hand to rise up from oppression...

And we do have our own BET... It's called SPIKETV..

Why is it that only whites can be racists??
Racism is in our DNA. For untold millennia, wandering tribes would encounter other tribes that spoke a different language, and possibly looked much different. If a scramble for scarce resources gets up and going, as it often did, who is going to go out of his way to befriend or treat kindly a member of the enemy tribe?

The challenge before us now is to know when to put such things aside.

Whites who are in a position of power are less threatened and/or harmed by racist language and taunts. When a white used the N word, particularly in decades past, the harsh reality was that most of the recipients of that slur were under white boots and heels to some extent. Racist taunts towards whites usually didn't or don't have that sort of backing.

Richards was a fool. Seinfeld damn sure knew it. God only knows how much that small group lost in residual income from that outburst. Civility has value.

In all matters, restraint is good. - the Buddha
