Are whites the only racist?

These are not my words…but I believe them to be true…it is sad that racisim still exist in this country. But it is not only whites that are racist…read this and I think it will make that fact clear.


Proud To Be White Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc. …And then there are just - Americans. 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 Yom Hashoah. You have the NAACP.And 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? 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-only Colleges in the US , yet if there were “White-only 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 who is running from the LAW and posing a threat to ALL of society … You call him a racist. I am proud…. But, you call me a racist. Why is it that only Whites can be racists?
And you know this to be the truth..so I ask you…are whites the only racist in this country? I think not.
I am as proud of my heritage as any person…I am of Scott-Irish desent…but first and foremost…I am an American. I don’t understand why every other race has to be “something american”…why can they not just be an American?
