ATV Florida Forum

Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native 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, Kike, 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?

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 whites 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?

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 Post

Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on!

YOU ARE A FREAKING ARTIST!  Dude you couldnt not be more right. The Don Imus thing is really set this topic off. Anyway people you need to lisen to this man!

Since when did a ATV site turn into somthing so political and judgmental...

The truth does hurt.... but it is soooo very true I am not a racist by birth and I was not raised to be so, but I am tired of the double standards !!!

   They call each other NIGGER but if we say it we are racist....I have a question.....If you call your sister a B$tch day after day year after year and someone else calls her a B$tch do you have the right to be mad??? NO you have already disrespected her and given everyone else the right to do so. Get some respect for yourselves and understand the whites are not the racist...YOU ARE!!!

sorry i was not trying to turn this in to a political site. I was out the other night with the guys and a very pretty black girl asked me to dance and i declined. I mean how would my wife have felt if she heard i was dancing with someone else? I would never put her in that posistion. She threw out the racist card at me,which i thought was funny at first as i had 2 of my friends there were black.Then i got pissed off and we all started talking about this issue.
Those were the thoughts we came up with amazingly enough that i remembered it all to wite it down the next morning.

Anyways if i offeneded anyone i apologize

 Stop it AD!! ;D

This is great stuff, but you should give the original author credit.

I totally agree here in lakeland ive seen signs around for the little miss black lakeland pageant if there was a little miss white lakeland pageant you know that would start some sh*t

I agree 100%!!!

This is a good conversation piece. Although, once a particular group or race are considered a minority, they will enjoy and receive benefits that the Non-minority (white) group or race will not enjoy. There is also what is called reverse discrimination. That is when someone is more qualified for a position or advancement, and is passed over for someone who is a minority who is less qualified. That is the law. This has gotten out of hand. We are going the wrong direction on this. It not only hurts the Non-Minority, but hurts the minority people as well. Good luck on this one discussion. My .02 worth.    

 ;) ;) ;) I  TOTALLY  AGREE  ;) ;) ;)

Guys, Whitey still runs the show no need to panic yet..  "White America! I can be one of your kids." (M&M).....  We "Americans" so why do we need to put white, black, latin, martian, etc in front it.  Does it make us a better American for doing that, NO..... at the end of the day if you are an A$$hole it doesn't matter what kind of A$$hole you are........my .02 pennies

nobodys in a panic u can be sure of that  ;D

I agree with the whole thing, but I am still waiting to see who the original author is?

well ok we didn't come up with the whole thing we did add some stuff to it. This thread was originally on a online game  M59 that one of my buds plays on.  So, yes we can not take credit for the whole thing just various points

mud junkie for president ;D

i totally, 100%, completely agree!

   Where's the United Asian college fund...I need some college funding!!
  I don't care what anyone of any race does, disrespect me and you better be able to get dirty.What comes around goes around...believe it.
   Sometimes people do things to make them feel special for their inadequacies.Know who and what you are and you'll be OK!!

I tell you what. I have been on this site for a while and lately all the racial stuff that has been coming up is making me sick. Let me just start by saying this. What happened to Don Imus was uncalled for. Everyone makes mistakes and what he said was inappropriate but he should not have lost his job over it. In fact, what he did was over and beyond what he needed to do to apologize but yet he still lost his job. If something more important in the media was going on during that time, the Don Imus story would not even exist.
As far as this thread is concerned, many of the comments made bother me. Many of the comments state YOU this and YOU that. I for one disagree with MANY of the statements. I have never once sneered or snickered in a White person's direction and called them derogatory names and many of my black friends don't either. It is ignorant. There is no reason to sling racial epithets at people. If a person doesn't want to be perceived as a racist then they shouldn't act like one.

Violence is violence. It happens everywhere. Contrary to what people may believe, there are white ghettos, black ghettos, spanish ghettos and so fourth. Violence is usually rampant in these parts mainly because of high drug use and trafficking as well as the lack of education.

Organizations such as the United Negro college fund were designed to help black people many years ago because black people were not getting aid for colleges like their white counterparts. Martin Luther King day? That holiday is a joke. Most people don't even recognize it or observe it. Black history month was created because you would be hard pressed to find information about black history even in the school history books. It just isn't discussed much if at all.

Did you know that BET is not even black owned? It is owned by a white corporation.  Being a person that attended a black college, these schools have been around for decades. Most back in a time when there was segregation. Blacks just needed a place to get an education. We didn't have the luxury that we do now to just go to any college. By the way, take a trip to a black college and you will see many different races on these campuses.

The Million Man March was supposed to be organized to promote self awareness among black men and relay the message of being a man. Things like taking care of your family, being leaders, erasing black on black crimes, etc. Rights were a topic because it is something that black people deal with on a constant basis.

If someone is white and proud then they should let it be known! Black people may sometimes announce that the are "Black and Proud" because many have been led to believe that they are an inferior race.  It's just a way to pick your head up after it has been beaten down.

The carjack comment got to me the most. I have never car jacked or robbed anyone, and neither has any other African American I associate with. Not every black person a cop beats down is a drug dealer. Whether people want to believe it or not, there are racist cops. This is one of the reasons why I don't care too much for cops. I have been harassed and pulled over several times just because I "fit a description". I can not tell you what it feels like to be pulled over by two white cops and have them throw all of your belongings onto the shoulder of the road and leave it there to supposedly look for drugs and then tell you have a nice day. How about 3 white cops telling you to strip down to your underwear, (yes, just boxers) with there guns drawn on you saying "We know you have drugs on your person". You can't even imagine the humiliation and anger you feel as they drive away snickering.

I just feel like we all need to just stop with all of this stupid race crap from the Blacks, Whites, Spanish, etc. Why can't we just love one another like the bible says and that be that? I have MANY friends and I could care less about what race they are, all I see is the person.  :)    

Very well done!!!

   I agree there is no room for racism.I've been in many situations with people of all genders.You can't hold a whole race accountable for one, or a large majorities action.
   I would be pissed at the whole world if I did that.

What kind of comment is that???????????????

Black on white crimes are OK????????????

jujulo700 I do know how it feels to be pulled over by cops and have your car searched.@18 me and a friend had gone to tenn to see my girlfriend who had moved away with her parents,on the way home just back across the FL line we were puled over by two cop cars four officers it was 4:00 in the morning and we were in a SAAB 9000 that was only three years old.We were asked to get out of the car and told it was going to be searched ,two searched the vehicle two searched us and asked us the same questions over and over.I was half asleep and put my hands in my pocket (after being searched and just standing there)and I just about got shot for it.After their search was done and all our clothes dirty and clean ones were spread in the grass on the side of the road they just drove off leaving us to pick up our belongings on the side of I75 in the pitch dark.They found nothing of coaurse we had nothing ,they said they were suspicious becouse we were so young driving an expensive car.I told my friend later I was freaking out becouse I have seen  the show cops and they always find something I figured they were gonna plant something on us .He admitted he was crappin his pants too.At the time we were both humiliated scared and pissed off so I know how you feel.Now its just a funny story we tell of the good ole days.I am white and have had a couple of black friends who were great people,never even thought about the whole color thing unless someone else would make a sour comment and it would make me made becouse the people making the comments were low life and did not realize my friends were hard working decent people who made a positive contribution to society.I think it is bad to caterogize a race as a whole .Like I said there are many black people I would be proud to call my friends as well as whites mexicans puertoricans asians and of course little people.There are also many whites mexicans puertoricans blacks and asians that I believe should be in jail or are in jail.If people could just look past color and judge people based on their individual actions this world would be a better place for all.I can say we all sometimes "RACIAL PROFILE" If im in a rough neighborhood and a big black guy walks up to me I will be nervous but I would feel the same way if I ended up near some arian white power camp and some big white bald guy was headed for me hell ive been nervous in areas around pinellas park thats normall feelings .It is when we are in a safe situation and we pass judgement based on color or race when we need to be corrected for our actions.

There should be white appreciation day think about it, we development 99% the whole world. If wasn't for "oh whitey" we be back in the stone age. think about it. If we waited for African technology and Latin technology we be sitting in dark cave right now.

Maybe staying awake at school would help you know that there are many black inventors.  South Africa has led the way in cardiac surgery and life saving inventions.  My dad was the original Archie Bunker, but the black surgeon worked as hard as he could on a hopeless situation.  I do think sometimes things are carried too far, but to suggest that other cultures do not contribute to the betterment of the world is going off the deep end.

What the hell is up with that e-mail? I guess you did not really understand my post.I Have lots of Black Friends and most of them make more money than i do, that being said, I know that it takes all races and all people to make this world go round i was just pointing out some facts.
I apologize if you are offended but, read the post and comprehend it. I was born here in the south and i understand racism and i am not never have been and never will be

That is not the message that they were trying to get across. All crimes are wrong but there is a really big problem with violence within the black communities. A lot of this nonsense can be attributed to the ignorant rap songs and artist that perpetuate violence among themselves. All crime is bad, they were just addressing a serious matter.



I did read your post thoroughly and this was not a personal attack at you. I was just responding to what was stated in the post and how I felt about the material that was suggested to be passed around.   ;)

 
 I am very proud to be white but yet I am not a racist. Things like the above do make me embarrassed of my race sometimes though. Ever heard of Eli Whitney? Did ya sleep through your history classes? Do some research on the guy, he was a genius! I am sure there are many other intelligent productive races that have contributed to "technology" as well. I used to "shave my head" to put it nicely, but I grew up and realized that I was being just as ignorant as the people that I hated! Now I know ignorance or intelligence has nothing to do with race. And for those that may judge me for what I have been in the past, don't hate me for what I was but learn to know me for what I am now. "we be sitting in dark cave right now" I believe you're may be in one now man!

  Very well done!!!

im not racist, i hate everybody.  :P

The worse thing about racism is the media, and politically motivated people.  They are the ones that create the divide.  They are the ones that won't let racism go away. Some may disagree, but I personally feel people like Jesse Jackson and Rev Al Sharpon, feed the racism.  Never once have I ever heard of one good thing come out of their mouth about the white man, no they insist that white-man holds us down, the white-man is our enemy.  Those are fighting words, those type of words create anger and divide.  Speak what you know, every white-man I know, raises their children love each and everyone as the same.  While Jesse & Sharpon, say, don't trust the white-man.  I have never once met anyone who said to me, I raise my child to hate the black man.  But I have had a few black people, tell me directly to my face, "I don't like you cause you are white", or "I was raised, and I raise my children to HATE the white man."  I don't blame them for hating me, I blame the media, and blame those same damn ignorant people that feed off hate.

The N-word I totally get.  To me calling someone a n... is like someone calling me the "c" word.  So I get it.  But at the same time, it's okay to put the n-word in music, it's okay for kids to say what's up my ni...  Double standard.  If anyone ever walked up to me and said what's up u my c..., it's on. 

It's time to teach and spread unity, not hatered.  I don't get it, in America of all places, how can their be racisms.  Every person in this country has come from some where else, except for the native americans, so to be a racist in America just doesn't make since.  We all bleed red, we all come from the same creator, which makes us all one. 

Finally, keep this in mind.  One day we will all be judge.  That's when the racist will get theirs, think about it, if you hate someone do to their origin or color, you are hating a child of God.  One can't be a true Christian, and be a racist.  And that goes both ways, meaning that white can't hate the black, and the black can't hate the white.  We are one, and that's all there is to it.

You should be embarrassed mentioning Eli Whitney. Last time I checked he was white. Maybe in your cave he's black. ???

 :Clap.gif

you go by the "c" name though  don't kick my a$$ but you do go by cheropride ,last I checked that is a "c" word.lol

 Yes i admit I am embarrassed about that, I was thinking of George Washington Carver,oops, at least I can admit when I'm wrong. Point is, there is a piece of "white trash" for every "nigger". All blacks are not "niggers" and the same goes for any other race in my eyes. If you're useless, you're useless, it doesn't matter what race you are.

  Oh crap....I have to agree with you too???? ;)

Oh crap? is agreeing with me that bad? ;D

I agree with ya! for the most part. ;)

How do ya shake hands over the net TRX9? This is to gay for me  :-*. Dammit now I've probably offended the gays! Oh well, I aint changin my mind on them!

I call BS, I have posted that to craigslists a dozen times. You forgot to include one of these:

You aren't done being embarrassed.

George Washington Carver
"Discovered" hundreds of new and important uses for the peanut? Fathered the peanut industry? Revolutionized southern US agriculture? No!
Research by Barry Mackintosh, who served as bureau historian for the National Park Service (which manages the G.W. Carver National Monument), demonstrated the following:

Most of Carver's peanut and sweet potato creations were either unoriginal, impractical, or of uncertain effectiveness. No product born in his laboratory was widely adopted.
The boom years for Southern peanut production came prior to, and not as a result of, Carver's promotion of the crop.
Carver's work to improve regional farming practices was not of pioneering scientific importance and had little demonstrable impact.
To see how Carver gained "a popular reputation far transcending the significance of his accomplishments," read Mackintosh's excellent article http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=256246&messageid=1088896552&lp=1088896552
