Meh ,, its MY word ,,
MINE!!
Racism isn't just against minorities anymore.
"Crazy white b***h!" (screamed at me today when I got the ball from a guy in soccer. He was Hispanic)
"Craka ho!"(screamed at me when I told a hispanic kid to stop racially crucifying himself when he blatantly struck out in softball last Friday)

Since when was this OK? Since when was it just fine for a black or brown person to hurl race-based insults, when if a person with even PART European ancestry slips just a bit, they get jumped? WHEN?

I don't care about 300 freaking years ago. Boo-da-freaking-hoo, you make believe that you're entitled to everything because of your skin. No sob stories please. You cannot make me pity you. " emo It's cuz i'm black!!! emo I can't cuz I'm Mexican! emo " ******** you. Yeah, you can't change your ancestry, but you can change that pesky "I can't" in your pity party.

Anyways, the guilt trips won't work since I've killed my very ability to pity because of my mom constantly trying SO hard to make me pity minorities because of her imagined prejudices. Half-mexican herself ,she sincerely believes that I ,being 1/2 anglo, have to treat those of different color with kid gloves. Fat freaking chance.

Treat each other like PEOPLE, not as blacks, whites, or browns. PEOPLE.

One pissed sophmore

Ah...I being african american myself understand how u feel, although it may be the other way around...*ahem* Some people do tend to take this too far, although I think it should just be abolished. But sadly, that's a futile dream...there won't ever be any peace between races for what reason I don't know why...I hope you don't think of us as pity bands. Most of us couldn't care less about any of that stuff(Talking about races) Anyway, ja ne.

When so much fear and estrangement is instilled into us around the concept of "racism", it will inevitably manifest itself as the complete reverse... simply put we will try to run so far away from "racism" that we run in a 360-degree circle and come back to where we began.

We're taught that we must be tolerant of jews as some kind of sacred minority, so Germans are hated instead for the antisemitic stigma they carry as a result.

We're taught that Americans enslaved blacks for centuries in an evil and heinous act of mass-violation, so we're hated instead for the stories of our ancestors that are drilled into the heads of children by schools, television, and racialist propaganda.

We're taught that Fascists like Adolf Hitler are responsible for the deaths of many innocent people, so in hating Fascism we polarize ourselves oppositely and are absorbed into the hatred and hypnotism of communism and extreme-leftism; not even aware of the fact that communists have murdered so many innocent people that Hitler's atrocities would appear as a tiny dot in comparison. Worst of all, communist autocracies CONTINUE to systematically murder innocents in places such as China where it is estimated every third female infant is simply thrown away like garbage.

By forcing all these concepts of "forbidden racism" on us we lose the ability to moderate our beliefs and fall into extremism ourselves.

This is why it's now acceptable to mock whites and white culture; those who are minorities see it as "justice" because of the evils whites have done, and whites see it as "justice" because they are taught to be guilty of the evils that whites have done.

Hopefully in future generations the effect of this propaganda will wear off and disappear, and only then will we stop BLAMING each other for the crimes of our ancestors every time the status quo shifts.
