152. TO #44

THAT IS A VERY GOOD POST!!
I HAVE READ MANY, MANY DIFFERENT BLOG SITES WHERE WHITE PEOPLE ARE COMMENTING ON RACIAL ISSUES, AND YOU ARE THE O-N-L-Y WHITE PERSON THAT SEEM TO HAVE A REAL SENSE OF REALITY ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE AND I'M SURE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO KNOW THESE THINGS BECAUSE IN A SENSE YOU HAVE "WALKED IN A BLACK PERSON'S SHOES" BY BEING MARRIED TO A BLACK MAN.

OTHER WHITE PEOPLE ARE CLUELESS OR DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE ALWAYS SAYING STUPID THINGS LIKE "WHY CAN BLACK PEOPLE CALL EACH OTHER THE "N" AND WHITE PEOPLE CAN'T OR HOW COME THEY CAN CALL US CRACKERS OR HONKY AND WE CAN'T CALL THEM N...... THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE. THEY ARE TOTALLY BLIND TO REALITY OR THEY DON'T CARE TO KNOW REALITY AND SOME OF THE REALLY RACIST ONES PROBABLY FEEL THAT THINGS SHOULD BE LIKE THEY WERE 50 OR MORE YEARS AGO (AS KKKRAMER PUTS IT) AND THAT THEY STILL SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY N...... AND ANYTHING ELSE DEROGATORY TO BLACK PEOPLE AND BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD JUST SHUT UP AND ACCEPT IT. BUT THIS IS A NEW DAY AND THEY CANNOT SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT TO SAY TO BLACK PEOPLE WITHOUT SUFFERING THE REPERCUSSIONS OF IT BY ANY MEANS NECCESSARY.

AND WHILE WE ARE LAYING IT OUT ON THE TABLE. WHILE SOME ARE NOT, MANY WHITE PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EVIL AND THEY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE SOCIAL ILLS, CORRUPTION AND THE SAD SHAPE THAT THE WORLD IS IN TODAY. BECAUSE COME ON NOW, WHAT KIND OF HUMAN BEINGS WOULD DO THE THINGS THAT WHITE PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO OTHER RACES OF PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY BLACK PEOPLE) FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL. THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

YOU NEED TO MAKE COPIES OF YOUR POST AND LET AS MANY WHITE PEOPLE READ IT AS POSSIBLE AND MAYBE THEY CAN GET SOME UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY THINGS ARE FOR BLACK PEOPLE AND THAT JUST MIGHT ELIMINATE SOME OF THE IGNORANT THINGS THAT THEY SAY, AND IF THEY DON'T CARE TO UNDERSTAND, THEN I GUESS THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL PAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER FOR ANYTHING THAT THEY SAY THAT IS RACIAL RELATED TO A BLACK PERSON. THAT'S THE WAY IT IS NOW. IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE!

153. What REALLY pisses me off is that a African American can run around calling another African American a, "N*gger", can run their mouths off in comedy routines using the so-called, "N" word and when a white man uses the "N" word, it is a crime? To hell with that sh*t! African Americans are the BIGGEST racists of all man kind. THEY can have the American Negro Fund (which EXCLUDES white folk), the Miss Black USA contest (again, EXCLUDES white women) and all the other BLACK sh*t and if THEY are excluded from a College Fund, or a contest, they scream, "FOUL" and lawsuits are filed and Jessie Jackson comes to the rescue? Now these African Americans want MONEY for thier pain and suffering from this Kramer guy?? Would they sue Chris Rock or any other African American comedy guy if they went off on the "N" word? I hardly think so. I am SO SICK AND TIRED of this racist sh*t...and I am tired of the African Americans ACTING like the damn "N" word. Yeah, the "N" word.......you heard me right.

Posted at 1:28AM on Nov 29th 2006 by Laughing at all of YOU

154. Tommie. Again, as I said to Missy. You are attacking ALL white people (just as Mr Richards did with black people) because of things said by some white people. I understand why as a white person calling a black person the N word is not appropriate even though black people say it to each other. I'm sure that what started black people saying it to each other was to make light of white people referring to them as the N**ger. It was probably a way of coping with it at the time. My friends and I call each other hoochie, bitch, hooker (none of us are even close to these things) but let me tell you, if a girl who was not my friend came up and called me or one of my friends a hooker to degrade us, I would knock her out in a second!! So yes, there are white people who understand WHY we cannot use the workd N**ger and you would never hear the word coming out of my mouth. I can't even say it out loud in front of only white people even if I'm telling a story about some other ass saying it. I say "the N word" because I HATE that word!

Oh and so you know, I would PREFER not to be called a "CRACKER" but NO it is not as bad as n**ger because there is no history that involves torment that goes along with the name, it is a food that you put cheese or peanut butter on and that is just making me hungry!

I have pretty much only dated hispanic men in my life. I have dealt with racism because of it. I have been told that I am a disgrace to white people because I'm not with MY OWN KIND. That a hispanic person is the same thing as a n**ger. I lost a good job one time because I moved in with my puerto rican boyfriend and my boss didn't think I should date outside my race. She wanted me to date a white doctor who was a friend of hers, so that I could hang out with her and her white husband who cheated on her so that we could be miserable together. Now I'm also not trying to say that all white me cheat becuase I have been cheated on by hispanic men and I know that black men cheat too, it's all races that do it, and not all men do it, some women do it too, but my point is that it's not like her husband was so great for her to think that what men were better, she was just racist and I was glad to leave. I could not prove that she fired me for this reason, but we all knew it because of the timing and comments that she made.

Now on that subject, I have also had white friend who dated black men and the families of the guys they were with hated them because they were white. They could not stand their son's being with white women. So you see, as I said before, it goes both ways! Stop pointing fingers at an ENTIRE RACE!

The only white people who still have those ignorant beliefs about black people are the ones who have not been out in the REAL WORLD or they are just intimidated. Or maybe just like some black people are brought up thinking that all white men are evil and they all hate black people, some white people are brought up with similar ignorant thoughts of black people.

Let's stop raising our kids to think differently about any race. It's up to today's parents to make the change in our society. My son has never thought there was a difference. He had a best friend last year who was black and when I asked him which boy was Cody, he described his shirt and pants and a lot of other things about him. He never once said "he's the black boy" and that would have been the easiest way to describe him since he was the only black child in the place. I was very, very proud of him. I once jumped all over someone because they told my son that he did something like a black person, they thought they did nothing wrong, but I told them that I did not want him to ever see that there is a difference in people because of race. I have been asked when arguing my beliefs how I would feel if my boys ever dated a black women. I respond with truth that it would not matter to me as long as she is a good person and treats him right so that I don't have to hurt her regardless of race.

For you to point out all of the evil that white people have done makes you the same as the other racists. Yes there are a lot of crazy white people who have done some really sick evil things, but there are a lot of crazy ass black people out there too.

This is in the defense of both sides: as far as there being more of a percentage of white people in jails and more of a percentage white people who pay taxes. That is because the percentage of white people PERIOD are higher in the US than any other race. I think that all whites and blacks should mix so that our future children will all be malato and will all be the same race and this sh*t will be OVER WITH!!!!

155. This is for all of you racists (white or black) who claim to be christian. This is what God has to say about it:

"Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, TO SPEAK EVIL OF NO ONE, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to ALL MEN." Titus 3:1-2 (NKJ)

156. Mr. Jim Crow,

Why do Afro Americans get so mad, and start acting uppitte when someone calles them a Negro..

I dont get mad if someone calls me white. It is just the truth. In spanish Negro means black.

There is even a country in Africa name Niger, so what gives..

Please impart your wisdom on me and my bretheren..

Thanks again,
Yuck Mouth

157. Dear Yuck Mouth,

It is difficult to say why Blacks get so upset. I guess they are ashamed of being brought to this wonderful country in chattel slavery.

They may feel ashamed that thier country of origin has the lowest level of development.

It maybe that they have a lot of pent up rage from always being viewed as Sub Humans.

I have a suggesstion for you: Today sit down and watch an Episode of Good Times;

Listen to James and Florida, and you will see that there are some descent, hardworking and postitive parental figures out there.

And never give up on your thurst for Knowledge.

Kindest Regards,
Jim Crow

158. Tommie hates whites because he has no white friends and white girls find him disgusting. He thinks if he sucks up to the blacks maybe he'll have better luck. Doubt it.

159. Shut up people! If you're really confident in you own skin, than who the hell cares what other people think of you or say, no matter what race you are. Get over it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

160. well Jim you can keep waiting on that apology because YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO GET IT

Posted at 7:39AM on Nov 30th 2006 by the truth

161. Lets talk about GIVE and TAKE for a Moment IN RELATION TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE..
SHORT SUMMARY OF AMERICAN HISTORY...European Explorers trying to reach India Sail West and runs into Norh, South America... Native Americans welcome Europeans.. early equal GIVE and TAKE, leads to Europeans TAKING all Resources (land #1) and little to no GIVING, Native Americans GIVE welcome and equal treatment/ TAKES Death to low Numbers, Buffalo Bills Wild Side show, Reservation Baron Land and liquor (poison) from Conquering Europeans... Europeans Sail to Africa to exchange resources.. GIVE guns and amo, TAKE African labor from Africans (agreed exchange Africans selling/trading Africans).. Sail to North & South America, GIVE African labor to European land owner (taken land)/ TAKE currency (sold like livestock).. African American GIVE - up all religion, language, culture, family members, sweat, mind, soul to work plantation/ TAKES Mental and Physical Abuse of whips, burnings, lynching, Police and Firemen Beatings, Slave title, torture, JimCrow laws, 3/5ths human label, N***r label, lazy label, forced religion.. (forced, no choice..)..NOW, Today Children of European American Ancestors GIVE ideas, inventions, innovation, research, contributions to society (ALL DUE TO-->)/ TAKE Land, Old money, family knowledge, institutional Education knowledge, possitions of power and control in Professional positions Inheritance... Today Children of Native American ancestors GIVE Culture and knowledge/ TAKE Reservation poverty Inheritance.. Today Children of African American Ancestors GIVE ideas, Respect, culture, knowledge/ TAKE low level education, Gangs, Disrespect, Unbanished Slave title, Unbanished N***r title, Ghetto, Broken slave mind, hate for Skin color and all things Given Inherittance... NOW that being said.. Racist are those who have power to overpower.. The Term N***r was used by those in power, European American, to overpower African Americans Mentally... As you can see the effects are still evident today by the mere mention of the word.. What Michael Richards did was unexcusable Consciously, Unfortunately his Unconscious was just being it self as it was programmed to and will always be unless its reprogrammed!!!!!!!!! Apologizing is a step.. I would only wish that America would take the same steps, Take Responsibility of your History, not just the Good but also the Bad.. So we all can start moving in a healed positive direction.
.. ALWAYS QUESTION YOUR SELF, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR PEERS, AND OTHERS AS TO HOW MUCH GIVING AND/OR TAKING IS BEING EXERCISED. Thank you for reading, Your Fellow Human Being.

162. All I can say is God help us all!!!

Not just about this whole Michael Richards situation.....but how we treat one another! What's funny is that I forget how prejudice, racist and just plain cruel people can be....and sometimes it takes a sitation like the Michael Richards' incident to remind me how far we've come....and how much farther we need to go. I'm sitting here reading posts from different people...and I'm just saddened at how people speak of others from different races.....without even knowing anything about them!!! Why are we like this with one another??? Being a black man myself.....I know those words do hurt.....but it also hurts when I hear it come from another black person just as much!!! I do understand freedom of speech.....but from my understand.....these freedoms are to be carried out in a way that doesn't infringe on the rights of others...the right to live happily and peacefully...so we do and should have to think about the words we speak....and how it affects others.....the same way we would want someone to respect our own feelings! Why can't we just simply treat others the way we ourselves want to be treated???? Do you know how much better our world would be if we all made the effort to do just that!!! No matter what race you are.....we all have the same basic needs.....wants and dreams!!! The bottom line is all cultures are here to stay.....we have all made good contributions to this society!!! Throughout history we've tried HATE and we've tried war to solve our problems.......do you not think that it's high time we try using respect and understanding???? Come on people....we are all here in our society together......yes I said OUR as in everyones!!!....nobody's going anywhere!!!!...and it's better that way!!!! All cultures should continue to do their best to contribute positively to our way of life.....it's our duty! Lets try to work together for human kind! We are all HUMAN....are we not!!! Let us not forget that!!!! God Bless people!
