Why the White People Are Afraid

Whats color got to do with it?

I am tired of watching television, especially comedy. White comics are so afraid of telling 'black' jokes yet you never see a black comic refrain from making fun of white people. I dont see the difference.

If Carlos Mencia can talk badly about white people, why cant a white comic talk about mexicans? Chris Rock, there's an example....He trashes white people. You still RARELY see white comics taking it to this level. Why?

Simply put, theyre scared. They shouldnt be.

Dave Chappelle is a great comic and he makes fun of ALL races. This is how it should be.

When I was walking to my mailbox and a black guy yelled out, "Hey cracker" I didnt even pay him any attention. What for? He is obviously ignorant and looking for a fight. So when a white person calls a black person the "N" word (I cant say the word because theyd probably remove my post) why do black people take such offense to it? Obviously, the person who said it is looking to antagonize you. Have you ever considered taking the high road and ignoring them? If we could just get over this stuff, our world would become a better place.

Ive been to websites for jokes and because certain race groups complained, they had to place a disclaimer before the joke. Why cant people AS A WHOLE just shut up and get over it?

Racism isnt just for one color anymore. If I go to Martin Luther King Blvd in Portland to get my hair done, Im gonna get charged more than the black girls, simple. (And yes, I have done this so I know what Im talking about) Because the black girls who are doing my hair think Im just a dumb white girl who hasnt done her research.

When I was walking down the street in Portland and a group of black guys came up to me calling me "the KKK" and threatening me with sticks, isnt that almost a hate crime? Yet do you see me on the news talking about how I was almost attacked by a group of crazy black folk?

I am so sick of the mexicans saying how they have it bad here. If it's so bad, go back to where you came from. The blacks saying theyve been racially profiled. ForGET it. You cant win. Blacks get as much welfare as white trash and mexicans do. How can one group call themselves a minority anymore? It's pretty much equal to all races.

Obviously some people are going to call me a racist and whatever, go ahead, if you havent read a word Ive said, that is the conclusion youll come to. But if you have read this youll understand that Im not putting down one race or the other, Im just trying to make people realize that were all the same. So dont be afraid (white people) to talk about other groups the same way they talk about us. EQUAL RIGHTS. This means you can do as they can do. Period.

Thank you for saying this. I don't have this problem per say but one kind of like it. I am envolved in the Native American culture and even sit on a Native American Drum. My elder has given me the name "White Boy" mostly because I'm white. I don't mind this so much but one day the rest of my drum were joking around and calling me white devil and other things in a playful manner. I got them all to quit easily enough by saying that they shouldn't be mad at me just because my ancestors were smarter than theirs and had guns. It wasn't my fault so how could they be mad at me for this. They still call me "White Boy" but that sort of became my name at Pow Wows and such. That is what everyone knows me as and it doesn't bother me because they all know I can sing and play better than a lot of the Natives who attend these functions.

Like I said, it affects all race groups. Instead of categorizing themselves as 'blacks' or 'whites' or whatever, I would like to see people call themselves 'people'. You dont know how many times we roll our eyes here when watching a black woman on television say, "Im a strong black woman!" Really? Why do you have to call yourself a black woman when we can clearly see your color and the fact that youre a woman. Why cant you just say youre a strong person? I just get so tired of other races making fun of white people and then calling US the racists. Do they not even realize that THEYRE being racist?

Case & point by Argo Donkey: (my ancestors were smarter than yours and used guns) You people!!!!! Your ancestors should have kept their asses where they came from instead of coming over here and displaying their savage tendencies and "killing" those who were native to this land in the first place!
