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.
> In it he raised a few interesting points...
>
> Someone finally said it.
But 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,
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 in?
>
> 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...
>
> Imagine 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 whites only 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 Men 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...
> But 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!

Well said , and so very true. This will be passed on to my many friends and family, many of which are living in South Africa and Zimbabwe. We no longer have blackboards in schools, Robinson s Jam had to take the symbol off their products because it was a Golliwog, nursery schools have to have an equal amount of black dolls as whites. It goes on and on.
Glad to see somone has the balls to stand up and say it as it is. Brilliant.

I remember back when we were told in the Army NOT to refer to the black-boards as such any longer, they were to be called chaulk boards.

Also was told once in Race-Relation Class I was a racist because my tires were black touching the road while the white wall was always above the surface. Told the black (african american) presenter to find me white tires with a black wall. Was asked to leave the class.

As long as something goes along with your race baiting you have to repeat it!

Richards did not make the above statement!

Stop putting words in other people's mouths. It is a dispicable trait you right wing nuts have!

I really dont care who made the statement - there is definitely an element of truth to it

The blacks are nothing but a bunch of big babies who want everything their way and are getting it. Obuma is no different. No is supposed to disagree or criticize him in any way. You people voted for him. Twice. Now live with it.

Went through something like this in the Navy in the 70's. Class was called UPWARDS (Understanding Personal Worth and Racial Differences). The facilatators (sp?) projected negative attitudes towards the white race. I sort of understand the purpose behind this but the class did more harm to race relations than the KKK ever did.

Correct. Especially the one white and one black rep. We found out our white reps mother was Indian from S. America. LOL

And I didn't give a damn that folks in Appalachia were complaining about loosing their homes to strip mining AFTER they were paid for the houses, lived in them tax free for 10 years but now had to move. Oh poor me story.

I would reply, "Be proud to be human." We are all made of the same cloth. The only difference is where we came from. The northern climes are pale, the southern, hot climes are dark. The environment is responsible for the color. So what is it then, that we fear? Is it that for eons it seems, those with pale color was in ascendance and now those who have more color want a bit more of the pie? could be

Not one is any different than the other. We all bleed red, we all have the same features, we all have the same organs. If one believes in God, then we are all his children.

It's time we stopped squabbling like a bunch of kids on the playground. Our future depends on it.

A house divided cannot stand. And right now, our house is sorely divided because some of us think those not 'like us' are somehow inferior beings. Get over it and act like adults who want to make life good for the children instead of acting like the children. jmo

I'll agree that somebody just made this up and it was not said by Mr. Richards. In fact we can pretend I made it up if you want it doesn't matter. My question for you ole sarg is what are your thoughts on the message itself?
