Gee, I almost forgot

Today marked the beginning once again of Black History Month. At least they didn't try to change the name to "African-American History Month". Not every Negro is African. Many Africans are Caucasian or Arabic, too.

Obviously, I am not a supporter of the concept. History is history. It is color blind except for those writing it. If there are events and people worthy of recording in the annals of history, it should be so, regardless of the ethnicity of the people involved. Racism is wrong, regardless of from which direction it emanates.

If I observed White History Month, I would be called a racist. Some time ago, there was an email that got forwarded around the net. Just a few weeks ago, I saw it again. I certainly didn't write it, but I sure see the hypocrisy it exposes. Heck, I'll just copy and paste it here.

You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey", "Gringo" and you think it's OK.

...But when I call you Kike, sand nigger, rag head ,Towelhead, WOP, Camel Jockey, Gook, slant eyes 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.

-You have the NCAA.

-If we had WET(White Entertainment Television)...we'd be racist.

-If we had a White Pride Day...you would call us racist.

-If we had white history month...we'd be racist.

-If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives...we'd be racist.

-If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...you know we'd be racist.

-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 racist

-Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them... they all got sent to court for being racist but the African-American, Latino, and Asian clubs were not even questioned.

-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.
