Zimmerman wasn't white. He was of Hispanic/mixed races. I still am trying to figure out what the hell a white Hispanic is? Heaven forbid an Asian cop shoots someone who is black. Would they be a white Asian? :roll:
I'm Asian and even I get dealt with the racism card all the time from different races especially blacks - I see every race play that card of course. I always hear how come there are not more black jurors on panels. Actually there are but most people try to get out of jury duty and selection but when the random selection has few pulled from driver's license/voter's registration and all minorities are at the end of the selection...it's random. Doesn't mean it is racist.
The thing is any race can pull the race card (even whites). However, I dislike when people pull the race card for stuff that happened over 50+ years ago ans try to make other races pay for it today. Japanese Americans were detained in WWII over Pearl Harbor however you don't see me slam that in a white person's face. Mostly because I know a child who was born 18 years ago has nothing to do with the racism that occurred 70 years ago.
I'll admit I don't mind people apologizing for the racism that happened then to Japanese but they already did. We fought for it and got it recognized. However I don't demand every white child to pay that forward nor other minorities.
The fact of the matter is an 18 year old was on the wrong side of the law and a cop shot him. Look at the situation outside the races involved. Ugh...media at its finest.
Ever wonder why Whites are racists, and no other race is......
Proud to be White
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,' '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 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, car jack 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!
