WHITE POWER ,does that make me a Racist ???
Now that I have your attention with the head line. I what to know your opinion & I respect everyone’s opinion. White Black , Brown, Red , Yellow or Green. I really don’t care what color someone is , As long as they are a decent person.
The color of someone’s skin it the last thing that I would base my opinion of someone on.
I grew up in the 1960’s , I remember seeing White & Black bathrooms in gas stations in the south. I have seen the IGNORANCE of bigotry my whole life & I mean black & white bigots ! ! ! Back in the day it was the sole domain of the white man to call anyone of color just about any name they wanted to. I never thought that was right but it happened all the time. But now it is politically incorrect for any white man to say anything about anyone of color & I’m cool with that.
BUT In today’s world it has done a total 180 degree flip. GOD FORBID a white man say anything the least bit racist & the whole world comes down around his shoulders. BUT no one says a thing when a black man calls another black man a NI&&ER or call a white man a CRACKER. There are tons of black comedians using every racist name in the book & they get big laughs.
It wasn’t right back in the day & it isn’t right today. If you want to hold the white man up & ridicule him for using those names , Do the same to the black man.
Now about the term WHITE POWER. It is used by all the skin heads & KKK freaks. Those guys have ruined it for me to be able to stand up & say I PROUD TO BE WHITE, without everyone calling me a racist. Sure I’m white & I’m proud of it. That doesn’t make me a racist !!!! I’m proud of who I am & my ancestors. I think everyone should be proud of who they are & of their ancestors.
I wish we could get over this race issue & move on to something more important.
In the words of Rodney King. CAN”T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG
Am I a racist , I don’t think so , I’m just a white guy that has gotten over the whole race issue. I’m just trying to get through life with out a bunch of ignorant folks screwing things up for all of us. I want to hand my kids a better world where a man is a man , not a Black Man , not a White man . JUST A MAN ! ! ! !
