So, I got forwarded an email the other day from a dude that I briefly met online while I was searching for recording equipment a little ways back. Apparently, the dude must have thought I was white or something because the email was a White Pride forward. I suppose the fact that I have one of the blackest first names in recorded history wasn't enough of a clue for him, so this thing got to litter my inbox this week.
It reads (and I blockquote):
Someone Finally Said It (And it's long over-due.)
Proud To Be White
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 N*gger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-n*gger, 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 Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You Have Yom Hashoah. You have the NAACP. And 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-only Colleges in the US , yet if there were "White-only 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 who is running from the LAW and posing a threat to ALL of 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 E-mail. Let's see who is proud enough to send it on.
I could just respond to the dude that sent this to me, but he didn't write the thing, so I figure I'll put this out there where anyone who feels like Google-searching it can find it. Hopefully the original author pops in eventually. And I'm going to the well with a line-by-line response. I apologize in advance to anyone stupid enough to have bought into this crap.
Someone Finally Said It (And it's long over-due.)
As usual, I'm not touching punctuation, spelling or spacing. That's not fair. I mean, it's not like English is our official language or anything, so I won't expect the writer to know how to properly utilize it.
Proud To Be White
Fantastic. I'm not sure what the big accomplishment there was aside from being born, but I'm giving a non-sarcastic clap anyway. Well done. There's cake in the conference room.
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.
Aren't there more than that? Like Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, etc.? And is there a legal precedent on who's allowed to hyphenate and who's not? If I, who has never been to Africa, can be called an African-American, I can't imagine why a dude from Tucson can't do a little research and hyphenate himself. I think "Selectively-Disgusted American" is available. I may be wrong here. Feel free to correct me.
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman," ... And that's OK.
No, that's not okay - that's racist. Are you some kind of pussy? Grow a pair, brother, and stand up for yourself. What sorts of streets are you walking down anyway, where people are still calling you "honkey"? I was unaware that 1977 had a sidewalk. And "caveman"? That one's new to me. Maybe they're not calling you that because of your race, but more because of your appearance? I'm just putting it out there. Also, I don't think "retard" is a racial slur either, in case you hear that one in the near future.
when I call you N*gger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-n*gger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ... You call me a racist.
Well, yeah... because that's racist. Stop calling me those things. And why would you want to call somebody a gook anyway? Is this really a right you think is worth fighting for? Listen to yourself, man. You deserve to be able to call a guy a camel-jockey? These are the battles you're picking? This is the great injustice you're suffering? People get angry at you when you call them kikes? This is what you're bitching about? You're such a caveman.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
Because there are a lot of people there that don't have any money, but do have access to drugs and guns? Besides, you're mixing arguments here. I believe the complaint is that minorities don't like whites that commit violence against them solely because of their race differences. If the violence is just the result of a freestyle rap battle gone bad, that's a whole different ball game.
You have the United Negro College Fund.
Yeah. Because before that, we had the United N*gger Go Get a Job Shining Shoes Fund, and that wasn't doing a whole lot of good for anyone. So far, it's been a big help and sent a lot of folks to college. I suppose you prefer those folks would not go to college and instead spend their afternoons having freestyle rap battles on your porch about your issues with the Geico ad campaign?
You have Martin Luther King Day.
And it sucks that white people have to go to work that day. Tell you what... next year, I'll bring some BBQ down to your job for you to eat at lunch. Fair dinkum.
You have Black History Month.
Because, before that, we only had White History Year. Do you think there's anyone in America that doesn't know who Paul Revere is? But Crispus Attucks only gets mentioned in February. Besides, it's not like they stop teaching about famous white people that month. They just say, "Oh, yeah, and here are a bunch of historically relevant black dudes that we'd otherwise never mention again unless we had a platform for it. Enjoy. On March 1st, we're going to talk about Patrick Henry again."
You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You Have Yom Hashoah.
You're really losing me here. Are these bad things? They don't cost anyone anything, do they? This is like complaining about Halloween. If you don't like it, take off the Spiderman costume and stay home. It only makes you look fat anyway. And I thought people liked boxing...
You have the NAACP.
Which was a fantastic replacement for its predecessor the National Association for the You N*ggas Ain't Gonna Have Nothing Ever - Start Getting Used To It, And Please Get Back to Shining This Shoe. Though I understand the complaint here. It was formed to fight Jim Crow and segregation and, today, it seems a little useless since the laws have been changed to prevent restaurant owners from making blacks urinate in sinks in hallways. Especially since blacks are always treated fairly and never have a need to have a public advocacy group anymore. I mean, aren't all advocacy groups extinct anyway? There's no need for perfectly innocuous groups operating in the private sector to lend their voices to people who don't have them anymore. That's so 1916.
And you have BET. If we had WET (White Entertainment Television)... We'd be racists.
Are you kidding? I get WET right now. I think TV Guide lists it as NBC though. Or ABC. Or CBS, maybe. HBO? I don't remember. But there's no shortage of shows on TV loaded with white people. Even Friends and Seinfeld found ways to take midtown Manhattan and make them seem like there were nothing but white people there. If there was a channel that was strictly dedicated to white programming, how would anyone notice? Please, please, please name one channel that has less white people on it than BET has black people. Name one. (Except UniVision - the sexiest channel of all time.) Then we can talk about WET. You think black people invented the Food Network?
If we had a White Pride Day ... You would call us racists.
Well, yes, because that would be racist. If you wanted to have a day that celebrated a famous white person, however, that would be okay. And... checking my calendar... I think we have about 365 of those already. Maybe more. Oh, and I think I missed the example of Minority Pride Day listed above, by the way. Which one was it?
If we had White History Month ... We'd be racists.
You've got a year. An entire year. And it's every year.
If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" OUR lives ... We'd be racists.
That's true. There is no organization that specifically is designed to advance the lives of white people. Well... unless you consider the entire country to be an organization. As a white guy, you may not know this... but pretty much everything you try to be successful at in this country is that much easier just because you are white. I know, it may not seem that way, but trust me... the "benefit of the doubt" is a priceless commodity, and brown dudes don't get it all too often.
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?
Hello, Mr. Almighty Dollar. Welcome to the discussion. Can I get you something to drink?
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships ... You know we'd be racists.
Or the bursars office at Oral Roberts. Do you have any idea how many white people are getting college scholarships? Do you know how many minorities are not getting scholarships that don't involve sports? Again... this is another example of not getting any help because you don't need it. There's no shortage of white people in college. There has never been a public initiative that started with, "Man, we've really got to figure out this problem with white males not getting college educations."
There are over 60 openly-proclaimed Black-only Colleges in the US , yet if there were "White-only Colleges" ... THAT would be a racist college.
Or Oral Roberts. I kid. Anyway, they're called historically black, not black only. Racially segregating colleges is illegal. Technically, you can go to Morehouse, if you'd like. Well... maybe not you. But someone who's not black and is actually qualified for college. If you'd feel uncomfortable going there because of all the black people there, then maybe you can consider someplace like BYU or another school where a black kid might feel uncomfortable because of all the white people? Or... and here's a novel concept, you can decide where you want to go to school, apply yourself to get your qualifications up and stop bitching about not being allowed to do something you're allowed to do in this most sacred land of opportunity. Racial equality laws apply to cavemen too.
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.
Well, not really. It was actually an effort to get people to register to vote. I think the race and rights marches stopped after blacks were granted, y'know... rights, but thanks for pretending to have some idea what you're talking about. Though I would like to see a white march for race and rights. "We're here, we're white and we deserve the right to... er... what is it we can't do again? Call the Arabs camel-jockeys without being termed racist? Have holidays named after famous white people? Go to college? Help me out here? Host a show on Food Network?"
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.
It's all about context, brother. Pride is one thing. Pride at the expense of others is scary. And pride in being orange is something you ought to talk to a doctor about.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us.
Well, to be fair... every race carjacks, robs and shoots sometimes. Especially if the person involved is a criminal.
But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer who is running from the LAW and posing a threat to ALL of society ... You call him a racist.
No, we call him "officer." After all, he does have a gun. I think they only get called racist when they say things like, "you're under arrest, camel-jockey." Or when they they shoot black dudes 41 times for carrying a wallet. That sort of thing. I think Mark Fuhrman can explain the distinction better than me.
I am proud. ... But, you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists?
Wait... what?
There is nothing improper about this E-mail. Let's see who is proud enough to send it on.
Exactly. There's nothing improper there. Thanks for coming out. The best thing about this email is that everyone who forwarded it left their email addresses and names in the headers, so I was able to find a lot of them on MySpace. I guess they're pretty proud after all.
Wooo, Orange Pride!
Well said, Assman.

"Proud To Be White"
Way to go, Turdlip Johnson. You must be beaming. I, too, was proud when I received my white diploma. Developing a nasaly voice, no rhythm, and skin that catches on fire when exposed to the sun takes hard work. I'm thinking about going for my honkey doctorate, but the daunting task of drinking Starbucks and wearing khakis really scares me. Any advice or words of encouragement? Never mind, I'll ask Vandelay.
"If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" OUR lives"
Well now that you mention it, there is one. And it sounds perfect for you. I'm not sure how many advancement opportunities there'll be, but you'll definitely get the job. And I do hear they like to promote within. You'll just need to make a few small purchases first. You have a pen and paper? Good, write this down: "White hood."
"then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce."
You know, I'll bet all the "plainies" that work at the regular 'ol flavorless Chamber of Commerce would take exception to that. They probably have pride, too. Proud to be a plainie! Maybe they can start a stupid email chain.
"You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us."
And sometimes "they" protect us, heal us, educate us, feed us, entertain us, etc. But that's only when they're not busy robbing, carjacking, and shooting us! Arrrrrgh!
"There is nothing improper about this E-mail."
Of course not. This "Proud to be White" movement is a noble cause. Like Haley Joel Osment paying it forward to a deformed Kevin Spacey face. Better make sure we get some traction before people start thinking silly thoughts, like "slavery is not nice" or "blacks and whites CAN use the same drinking fountain." You know, "off-the-wall" shit like that.

Apparently, the dude must have thought I was white or something
So you're not white and you're not Samoan? Quite telling us lies upon lies. We deserve the truth.
You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You Have Yom Hashoah.
Apparently, "you" are black, hispanic, muslim and jewish. That is one impressive combination.
You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman," ... And that's OK.
I'll go on the record here as saying that if you call me white boy, I won't care. If you call me honkey, it may be racist, but I'll just laugh at you. And if you call me caveman, I'll probably get pretty pissed for being associated in any way with that show.
when I call you N*gger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-n*gger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ... You call me a racist.
Ok, I'm going to have to play my white boy card again here and say that I'm not any of these groups, but if you call someone any of those names, I am calling you a racist and not even bothering to wait for anyone else to say it.
And pride in being orange is something you ought to talk to a doctor about.
Someone's been eating too many carrots.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us.
Wait is this the same "you" that is a hispanic black muslim jew? Also, anyone want to place bets on whether the author of this has ever been robbed, carjacked, shot at or met more than one person who is black, hispanic, muslim or jewish?
You know as simple as it was for you to have a point by point refutation of the idiocy, I think the best argument against the email was that while the words were not the same, it was pretty much the same as a post written on a myspace blog by Adrianne Curry (you know: crazy lady, been on one too many reality shows, married Peter Brady)

Assman, your people aren't supposed to be able to utilize English. Duh. Not sure this was really necessary, but enjoyable all the same.

Also curious, did you read about the Diallo case in Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink?" Or were you previously familiar with it?

"Are you kidding? I get WET right now.I think TV Guide lists it as NBC though. Or ABC. Or CBS, maybe."
No -- you really can't count ABC or CBS -- they've got Ugly Betty & Cane, so they are down with Latinos. NBC has Omar Epps on ER -- so really there is a need for a WET channel...

I'm black, I didn't live far from Amadou at the time and I carry a wallet. I pretty much thought about it every day for about 2 years right after it happened.
No -- you really can't count ABC or CBS -- they've got Ugly Betty & Cane, so they are down with Latinos. NBC has Omar Epps on ER -- so really there is a need for a WET channel...
Fair enough. White people need a voice, dammit. They need their ideas to be heard.

"-- so really there is a need for a WET channel..."
I think that would be WB network. Which is kind of funny seeing as throughout the 90's most people thought WB stood for "Wayans Brothers." But somewhere along the line Buffy the Vamnpire Slayer and Dawson's Creek squatted down and slowly but surely everything was replaced with wall-to-wall OC replicas. Before you knew it, there were 1,000 white people and Taye Diggs 7 days a week.
Aint that just like whitey. I'm so proud, I could start a chain email.

I had no idea who Crispus Attucks was until I looked him up.
(Then again, I'm Canadian, so I didn't really know what the Boston Massacre was, either. Interesting story, though.)
And yeah... I agree with randi; morons like this don't exactly make me proud to be the easily-sunburnt type. Please don't judge us all by the likes of this cracker-ass honky.

"Brilliant stuff, Assman."
Yea right- Assman should attend out one of Vandelay's pong matches. Is it alright for two white dudes to call each other the n-word??
Posted by: Eli | October 13, 2007 at 04:40 PM
No, we call him "officer." After all, he does have a gun. I think they only get called racist when they say things like, "you're under arrest, camel-jockey." Or when they they shoot black dudes 41 times for carrying a wallet.
Also curious, did you read about the Diallo case in Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink?" Or were you previously familiar with it?
I'm black, I didn't live far from Amadou at the time and I carry a wallet. I pretty much thought about it every day for about 2 years right after it happened.
Not to be rude to the person who asked the question, but...I'm white, I lived absolutely nowhere near where it happened, and I have never had to worry about a cop shooting me for pulling out my wallet because he's automatically going to think I'm pulling out a wallet not a gun, but I still was familiar with it when it happened because cops shot at an unarmed man 41 times and killed him. It was kind of a big news story.
Also, in response to the original statement about shooting a guy 41 times, they only hit him 19 times, so they may have been racists (or more likely even if the individuals themselves were not racists, were part of a much larger underlying problem that reinforced racist thinking and encouraged the thought that blacks were automatically involved in a criminal activity), but they were also bad shots who really enjoyed their job too much. (I say that not to make fun of this but to make this point: 41 times? 19 hits? If there had been anyone even close to him, there could easily have been multiple deaths. With such complete disregard for whether they hit the subject and whether they were doing the right thing, these guys may as well have been issued hand grenades to kill wallet carrying West Africans.)
But when I call you N*gger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-n*gger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ... You call me a racist.
Something about this struck me as I thought about it while mowing the lawn this weekend. (What? I needed something more interesting to think about than "Oh look out for that stick. I don't wanna run that over.") Did you make the changes to make the letter say "n*gger" or did the original author write it that way? If he wrote it that way, I am totally confused by his lack of commitment to his thesis. Well, that and his lack of understanding. It's not the letter "I" that makes the word some awful. It's not even the word itself. It's the hatred that is wrapped up in that word. How is it that this guy can (a) miss that point (ok, that's because he's an idiot, which we have already established) and (b) be afraid of writing the word out when he has no problem saying that he doesn't want to be labelled a racist if he uses it and he has no problem saying things like towelhead, chink and kike. Why not remove vowels there too?
As a white guy, you may not know this... but pretty much everything you try to be successful at in this country is that much easier just because you are white.
Also, I'm pretty sure that there is a great response to this, but I'm hoping that someone else will provide a list of those things that go the other way, because I don't want to be the one to have to argue with the person who misses the sarcasm and overreacts to a joke.
Posted by: Craig | October 15, 2007 at 01:14 PM
"As a white guy, you may not know this... but pretty much everything you try to be successful at in this country is that much easier just because you are white."
Except basketball, dancing, and rapping. And if for some reason you were trying to have a 2 foot dick...being successful at that would be an uphill battle for a white man as well.

It's also harder to buy cheap shit in Chinatown, average more then 4.5 yards per carry and score with white chicks. Outside of that, it's all gravy.

Ok, point taken. (and way to make me feel positively ancient since I was out of college and married.)
I certainly couldn't tell you anything about what happened in the news when I was in 6th grade, unless that news had to do with video games, football or a sudden realization that girls had boobs.

This letter ignores that there ARE white days, scholarships, clubs, entertainment, etc. Or else what the hell was my Italian scholarship to college all about? And those Polish/Italian/Irish/Ukrainian clubs that I see around must not exist. And St Patrick's Day, Bastille Day, etc are for...who exactly?
But this is just angry white man syndrome rearing its ugly head again. White men are so powerless in this society.
Posted by: chris | October 15, 2007 at 08:29 PM
Hello, I had a former friend post this with some enthusiam on the web as well. I thought I'd share my response (I was trying to be gentle, forgive me):
I think there are some problems in the thinking here. Summarily speaking, I think what is being most overlooked is the monolithic nature of white privilege. Yes, some members of minority groups may identify with the NAACP, but white people have controlled all three branches of the federal government since its inception. White history month is everyday in our history classes; WET is on nearly even channel (NBC, ABC, PBS, FOX, CNN, etc.)
I also believe that the so-called “Black-only colleges” identify as “historically black colleges”—political correctness aside—they still employ the white man’s Western philosophical assumptions, mostly now derived from the 17th century enlightenment. Remember this is the same enlightenment that dawned Darwinism (which, in its revised forms, can be valid in-and-of-itself) but was used by 19th century thinkers to assume the white man, being more evolutionary fit, had dominion not only over freed slaves but over the world in order to provide a moral clarity (there are some early strands of neo-conservatism in this late 19th century liberalism.)
As for holidays, this “poem” over looks several holidays. First to come to mind is Christmas where a fat jolly white man expresses his benevolence to those who aren’t naughty. Or Columbus Day which celebrates a white man who cut off the ears of natives who did not provide him with enough gold (as sparse or as non-existent as it may have been) and crimes too heinous to do to justice to right now. Or Thanksgiving where whites have painted a picture of being welcomed and cherished by indigenous North Americans. Presidents Days celebrates slave-owning George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, who thought that whites were superior to blacks and wanted to colonize and move them to Latin America. Not to mention that some of the mentioned holidays are really ways of that powerful Americans appropriate and control history. Some black radicals are appalled by MLK day and think that the only reason he is revered by white liberals is that it glorifies a passive resistance, which is less threatening to an oppressor—so, from this point of view, it is a white holiday.
Assuming that this is only speaking to the context of the U.S. in regards to the perceived limitations of only whites being called “racist”, it overlooks racism between minority groups. Racism is alive and acknowledged in these communities, and overlooking it is a proof of the tunnel vision of white privilege and a bad justification of finding ways to preserve and proliferate white power.

Thank you so much for this post. Every couple months this "poem" resurfaces on myspace and I always want to respond but become mentally drained thinking about the pure ignorance of those that buy into it. It hurts that folks are so unaware. Many are just well intentioned bigots who don't know any better.

When I look at a person I see no color.
I have had other look at me and they do see color. I wonder why this is? I was born in the United States of America, not in Africa, Italy, France, Great Britain. I am an American not African American, Mexican American, Japanese American White American, just plain old American.
When I went to school, there were Schools for Whites and Schools for Blacks. No Schools for the Yellow race, why was that? The Yellow race went to the White School.
I have to agree with some of the Things that you as Americans who want to be called African Americans disagree with, not all of them. You do have leaders who will use the "RACE CARD" to get their way. The Whites are not allowed to use a "RACE CARD" we would be Racists if we did.
Most of the Black African American men wants white blonde girlfriends, most Black women are not that attractive unless they have a lot of white blood in them and I have seen some very beautiful Black women, but I would not want one of them as a mate, a friend yes. A lot of the White Blonde wants Black African American who are living the good life as National Sports figures, for the money not your black dicks.
You have come a long way and still you are not happy, then you will never be happy until you have it all, will you?
Some of you African Americans have chosen the Religion of the African Slaves that were brought to the United States The Muslim Islamic Religion.
Some of your African Ancestors came over with the British before this was even the United States. Have you put up any protest to the British Government to be paid restitution?
Hell why am I writing this ,you don't give a shit about any "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman," "Red Nick" "White Trailer Trash" or "White Nigger" do you?.
