Just A Statement Of Fact

[Gonzo the Face]

I sincerely post this with the hopes that the mods will not see any difficulty in having people discuss this topic

It is NOT intended to be a statement for or against any one or group. It certainly affects all on this planet and that does include all of us living in Thailand.

Again I say, I would hope this to be a discussion topic and not an argumentative war of words..

===================

Proud to be white or are you???

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,

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 very close!

I agree with that school of thought that says pride is a sin, no matter what your color is.

This is a well known hoax, Michael Richards didn't say this in court at all, he didn't go to court over the comedy club incident.

I'm a little dense this morning. Could you boil down the "fact" that has been stated for me? Usually when someone uses that as a statement, I give it the Inigo Montoya "I do not think that word means what you think it means" treatment, but I'll withhold judgment for now.

Let's all tread very carefully here......tiptoeing through the minefield.

Some good points raised, actually. However it's very easy to get caught up in the "us and them" mentality, so let's look at the big picture.......we are all part of the human race, and we all need to work together to get ourselves out of the big mess we're in currently.

Let's look at this post in this light.

The only difficulty I have is finding any connection to Thailand, although even when Thai related these threads always fly off the rails within the first page anyway.

Sorry, closed.
