We promote it in way's like The United ***** College Fund,Jet Magazine,Black Entertainment Television, Miss Black America. Then Try to have a United Cauasian Collage Fund, Cloud Magazine White Entertainment Television or Miss White America I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black or Latino, in cities where 70% of the population is black or Latino, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
We jump when something happens and say stop the racisam but every day we promote it at the same time everyone is looking for free hand outs from the Government
Why can't we STOP POLITICAL RACISM We can stop political racism. And the way to do that is by teaching our children about racism. If we want racism to succumb, we as americans have to own up for what we are doing. Teach our kids so when they themselves have kids, the cycle of unity continues. Unfourtunatly, groups like the KKK have the right to voice their views on public streets by way of the U.S. constitution. Is it right to promote hatred towards other people just because of the color of their skin? No, the government however goes give them the right to speak their views. I myself am African-American and I was not born in Africa. The following information will give you a better understanding of why the terms (AFRICAN-AMERICAN) and (BLACK) are used.
**Black, also referred to as ***** or Colored (which is generally considered offensive) (noun, black or blacks; adjective, black people), is a color-defined term used as a form of ethno-racial classification. Though literally implying dark-skinned, "black" has been used in different ways at different times and places. The English word was spawned by the European colonization and conquest of non-Europeans. It solidified into popular culture during the Enlightenment as one of the four major categories into which European philosophers tried to organize the newly discovered human diversity. The categories were based upon skin tone as perceived by Europeans of the time: Red (Native Americans), Yellow (East Asians), White (Europeans), and Black (Africans). Today, the term's usage differs slightly among former European colonies. Latin Americans, former members of the British Empire, and Americans (USA) all use the term differently. The term is most often applied today in three ways. First, it denotes people who are seen as part of the African Diaspora. Second, it is also applied to native non-European people lacking African ancestry but who were labeled as "Black" by their colonizers. Third, it has been internalized as an ethno-political rallying label by leaders of oppressed and marginalized populations in several regions around the world.
**An African American (also Afro-American, Black American, or black), is a member of an ethnic group in the United States whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to Africa. Many African Americans also have European and/or Native American ancestry as well. The term tends to refer to West African ancestries; not, for example, to white or Arab African ancestry, such as Moroccan or white South African ancestry. This is so even though there is huge genetic variation among the various inhabitants of sub-Saharan Africa. Members of the African Diaspora from non-African countries such as Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba (although they are logically African Americans, since they are located in the Americas and are descendants of Africans, with some admixture from Europeans and native Americans as well) or the United Kingdom are theoretically referred to by their nation of origin and not African American (even when they come from a Latin American country) unless they immigrate to the United States, but once a person of the African Diaspora becomes a permanent U.S. resident, then it is generally assumed that they (and especially their U.S.-born children) are "African American."
I am proud to be African-American, Black, and as well American myself, I just know as a person of color what african slaves went through in (AFRIKA) for us to be free. That was the spelling of it until the english dictionary changed it to (AFRICA). There are so many people who risked their lives and fought for racial equality. People have to make the contious decision to stop promoting racism if we are to ever move forward as people and as a country. Here's a few quotes from some leaders of color past and present.
(1). Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise, I rise, I rise.
Maya Angelou (1928-)
"Still I rise," And Still I Rise (1978).
(2). "Racism is not an excuse to not do the best you can".
Arthur Ashe (1943-1993).
(3). "People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead"-James Baldwin (1924-1987)-Nobody Knows My Name (1961)
(4). "If we accept and acquiesce in the face of discrimination, we accept the responsibility ourselves and allow those responsible to salve their conscience by believing that they have our acceptance and concurrence. We should, therefore, protest openly everything . . . that smacks of discrimination or slander"--Mary McLeod Bethune (1875-1955).
(5). "We have come over a way that with tears has
聽聽聽聽been watered, We have come, treading our path through the
聽聽聽聽blood of the slaughtered"-James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938)
Lift Every Voice and Sing, stanza 2 (1900)
(6). "We should emphasize not ***** History, but the ***** in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice"- Carter Woodson (1875-1950) on founding ***** History Week, 1926.
(7). "Our nation is a rainbow鈥攔ed, yellow, brown, black, and white鈥攁nd we're all precious in God's sight"- Jesse Jackson (1941)
(8). I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old ***** spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"-Martin Luther King Jr.

what your opinions are. Call every radio talk show in the nation, write to your newspapers, start a grass root program ofyour own or a blog on the internet. Answer to your 1st question is that there are too many white government officals who think they owe these these lazy idiots something. Also I think they should repeal this hate-
crime law because it only favors black people. Think about that. Anyone is free to have the United Caucasian College Fund if they want. The question is, is this a privately funded organization, or is it getting government support?
Equal Protection (14th Amendment) says the government cannot treat one racial class different than another, absent a compelling government reason and then only by the least restrictive means. This is called strict scrutiny.
One acknowledged compelling reason is remedying past discrimination, where the lawmakers can show that a particular racial group was denied specific opportunities in the past, and that providing benefits to that group is the only means to 'rebalance the scales' and correct the past discrimination. That is what allows for affirmative action and similar government-sponsored/supported programs.
As far as politically-correct phrasing, what someone chooses to call themselves is up to them. Personally, I call everyone "people". I don't make distinctions or classifications, because I treat everyone as an individual, not part of a group. In the long term, I think we'd be better off if everyone was really treated just like an individual, and not based on some self-imposed or (worse) externally-imposed group attribution. But as long as that is type of categorization is going to happen, the government is going to step in an attempt to fix things. First off, most educated blacks prefer to be called black, not African American. Second, there were countless generations of blacks that were under the thumb of slavery or Jim Crow laws of the south and the north. Yet you think that we should only repay two generations of blacks with funding for education or social programs. If that's what you call making amends then I believe you have a poor idea of what that is all about.
This country was founded on taking land away from the Native Americans through force, enslaving Africans, and forcing US corporation friendly dictatorships in Latin American, Middle Eastern, South East Asian or African Countries.
It's typical for a white person to not look at the facts of American diplomacy both outside and within her borders. Your question and argument is based solely on FOX NEWS propaganda and your emotions. If you picked up a real book and did some research on what you're so upset with you'd find that you have no argument at all.
Everything is based on race or culture. That's a basic law of human survival. It is ingrained in us to be suspicious of those who look and think different than we do. But in an age of globalization this kind of thinking can't survive. Your way of thinking and your argument will either bring about your destruction if it fails, or a return to the dark ages if it succeeds.
If you're so concerned about the lack of certain publications or media outlets promoting Caucasian pride or culture, then start it!
Every culture and nation has blood on its hands; but no one seems to want to wash them.
By the way, I don't really care what you think. I just want to get a free trip to the World Cup.
Peace. Because it is needed by thoughs who need a free hand out. |
