09/22 Are You a Racist?

Quote From: usmcwf05

MY (NOTE:MY) Opinion: 

I agree that the MAJORITY of people claiming "racism" are the blacks.  But let s all understand that as long as we have freedom, we will always have differances and we will always have that double standard.......about sexual woman being easy and sexual men being heroes, about mexicans, blacks, asians...whatever.  If you ever notice, commercials always have the perfect "mix" of races.....isnt it sad that most of us are no longer racist but are forced to be scared of unintentionally hurting someone and then being called a racist, that we have to think and rethink the things we do?  I am not a racist because I understand that everyone is there own person and that just because the majority of 'whatever' do/say/think alike, it does not mean ALL of them/we do.  Example:  I am from Texas and I say "y'all", like a lot of other texans, but I dont ride horses, wear wranglers and boots with spurs.  Like Liz says , every race has its good and bad citizens.......we need to stop walking around eggshells with everyone.  Look, MOST whites hurt Native Americans by breaking 400 of there treaties.....but that has changed, its time to live life.  MANY, not all, hurt African Americans during the Slave era, but that is changing everyday......we are a different culture now.  Can someone please tell me how many people would get burned, fired and attacked if there was a WHITE ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION (WET) like there is a BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION (BET) channel????  We are creating this standard for one another by being too scared to JUST BE.---JUDY 

Amen

Are you kidding?  There is WET (white entertainment television).  Of course it does not go by THAT name, it goes by NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, and the list goes on and on and on!
