I'm not racist

Black, White, Yellow and Brown

You call me:
redneck
hillbilly
slacker
cracker
honkey
whitey
gringo
sage
and you think it's OK.

But when I call you:
jungle bunny
spear chunker
coon
wet back
jiggaboo
porch monkey
sand nigger
rag head
towelhead
camel jockey
gook
spook
nigger
kike
slant eyes
chink
you call me a racist.

--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 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 Asia 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.

I am white
and
I am proud.

But, you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Now watch, I'll be racist for posting this.

McCain/Palin

OK, so Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. Big deal, right? Why is it that everyone and their dog can have babies, but when Bristol Palin gets knocked up, it's news? Yes, it's probably not the best plan, but people have survived worse. I am voting for McCain--more so now because of his pick for VP. Sarah Palin is a firecracker and has the cajones to kick some ass and take some names.

My hat is off, however, to the one person I thought I would never tip my hat to--Barack Obama. He has instated a "hands off" policy about Bristol Palin's pregnancy, and that is a HUGE kudos for him. I don't like his ideas and I'm not voting for him, but I'll be damned if that wasn't just the absolute right thing to do. His words were (paraphrasing), "Families are off limits, and anyone breaching that policy will be fired." Bravo, Obama...but I'm still not voting for you! :-)

OK, that's all for now. We're going to sit here and watch Gustav come rolling in and enjoy a little excess rainfall. Until next time...
