I haven't vented in a very long time. So much has built up inside so hear I go.... I aplogize in advance for offending anyone.
In light of the recent segment on WSB TV in which a teacher claims that the Henry County School system is racist becuase they made her take down a political poster my reaction is this........
Someone finally said it... How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Ameri-cans.
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, Ni***r, Kike, Towel head, Sand-ni***r, 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?
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...
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 only 20 whites to 'advance' OUR, lives we'd be racists.
We have an 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 Man 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. 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 real close!
I don't normally write about my beliefs. The sad part about it all was her claims were a lie. In the article she claimed that she only placed the photos up after the elction and was using her poster as a teaching tool, because "history was made." That my friend, I know was not the truth. I personally was in her classroom on Halloween. The pictures of only one President Elect were placed in front of the classroom. Regardless of who it was..... teachers in public schools have no constitutional right to express personal political or religous beliefs in the classroom.”
Teachers should not be spreading their political theory to students. I do not have a problem with a teacher debating, theorizing, and teaching about politics as long as it is balanced in this case it was not.
