                                              WHO'S RACIST
 
"There are African Americans,Mexican Americans,Asian Americans,
Native Americans,etc.,and then there are just Americans.  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,Hispanic History Monnth,Martin Luther King Jr Day,Asian History Month,Black
History Month,Cesar Chavez Day,Ma"uled AlNabi,Yom Hashoah,
Kwanzaa,the NAACP and BET. If had White Pride Day or White
History Month,we would be call Racists. If we had any organization
for only Whites to advance our lives,we'd be Racists. There's a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,a Black Chamber of Commerce,
then there's the plain Chamber of Commerce. If we had a college
fund that only gave white students scholarships,we'd be considered
Racists.  There are 60-plus predominantly black colleges in the United
States.
 
Yes if there were white-only colleges,that would be considered Racist.
You are proud to be Black,Brown,Yellow, or Red,and aren't afraid to
announce it. Why is it that only Whites can be Racists?"
