"Racial Whinners"

"RACIAL WHINNERS"

I am an American,who happens to be white and male;

and I have got something I need to get off my chest.

By Jim Jones: jjjones@usa.com

I am over this “ Political Correctness ”
and phony one-way “race discrimination”.

OOPS!

Did I say something wrong?

Do I still have freedom of speech, or are my personal opinions now considered verbal terrorism?

I guess that if I am a terrorist, then so would be Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and a hundred others.


I am about to speak that which has been in the heart of millions upon millions of Americans for decades.


Here we are, Friday, April 13, 2007 and Al Sharpton is still grandstanding to make the most of every situation that offers itself.

This morning, his words once again reflected the true racist attitude, which permeates his heart.

He said that “we”, who have been involved in this Imus situation, are not gloating over the firing of Imus.

"He” was involved in the “we” because “he” had just grabbed another golden straw.

Al Sharpton went on to say that he wants to have town meetings with Rappers, to stop their use of words like “ho” and the “n” word.


Well! Well! Well!


First of all, he is only doing it because others have pointed out the one-sided nature of his attack upon Imus.

Secondly, he didn’t say anything about Rappers use of words that demean any other races.

What about “honkey” and “cracker”, and whatever terms rappers use for Hispanics and Asians?

Am I racist?

Not by a long shot!

But I do not appreciate reverse-ism!

I would not like a liar calling me a liar.

I would not tolerate the intolerant calling me intolerant.

And I do not appreciate racists, like Al Sharpton, calling another person a racist, even if that person is a racist.

If you were to talk to any Blacks, Indians, Hispanics, or Asians who have known me over the 40 years,
I believe that every one of them would testify that I am not racist, and that I treat everyone with respect.

What really boils my blood is when phony "ministers" try to twist the Bible to fit their selfish agenda.

Outside of that, I love all races… I pretty much love every person!

A few months ago, I was in a local store owned by a man who came here from India,
a longtime friend (30 plus years).

One of his lady employees, a girl from India, but raised in the Philippians, was talking about being a “Filipina-Indian”.

My friend said to her, “No, you are not Filipino-Indian! You are an AMERICAN.”

He continued, “I came to America from India 35 years ago; and I became an AMERICAN.

I am not an Indian-American.

I am an American.”

It’s about time!

It was probably fighting words to call one of our founding fathers English-American.

Once their ties were cut, those once “Englishmen” (and many other nationalities) became full-blooded Americans.

I am sure they were proud to simply be called American… I am!

This is what puzzles me today.

Why would someone fight so hard to be an “American”,
and then set themselves apart by calling themselves:

African-American,

Hispanic-American,

Asian-American,

or White-American?

I don’t understand why we fought so hard in the fifties, sixties and seventies for the right:

…to ride the same bus,

…to drink from the same fountain,

…to eat in the same restaurant,

…to go to the same schools,

…to be part of mainstream America,

…then turn around and build a confined “Ethnic Community”.

If someone desires equality with me, I’ll love that person as my brother.

If they come demanding preferential treatment,

they (not I) have excluded myself as their equal, friend, and brother.

Not to many years from now, “white males” will be the new minority in America.

Will Blacks, Hispanics, Indians, Jews, Mid-Easterners, and Asians be called upon to give white males the same preferential treatment, which they have been privileged?

I am one who certainly does not want it!!

I hope I have enough integrity to refuse a government assisted advantage.

I can make it without the help of Uncle Scam.


Now …Imus' t get this my off my mind!


This past week, “Imus” has been the lead story on nearly every major network news program.

He was viciously wrong.

He was way out of bounds.

I do not take side with his comment.

I take issue with phonies.

Al Sharpton is the biggest of all the phonies!

If Al Sharpton has a problem with calling the Rutgers players, “nappy-headed-hos”, which he should, and I do likewise, why single out Imus.

If Al Sharpton insists on the firing of Don Imus, then he likewise needs to insist on the firing of all Rap Recording Artists(?) who use the word "ho".

He said that he had already reprimanded Rappers for demeaning girls.


NO, AL SHARPTON!


You must insist that all recording labels fire Rappers who have used the word “Ho”.

Don’t be two-faced about this.

Don’t have some nice little “town meeting” over Rappers language.

Call for their FIRING! Or be the hypocrite you are!

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, "Are you truly fighting for EQUALITY?"

Great!

Now, please explain the reverse nature of these following issues:

#1. Why the term “Black” on anything?
Doesn’t adding any race, as a prefix, imply racism?

#2. Where were the “leaders” when we found out that the charges against the Duke Lacrosse team were bogus?
When the story came out, many of them were out there to protest.
Where is the public apology to these fellas?
Where is the FIRING of those who wrongfully demonstrated?
Do other races deserve less?
Did you have the young woman, who made the allegations, on your radio program to apologize?

#3. Al Sharpton, have you spoken out against the use of words like “Honkey” and “Cracker”?

#4. Several “Miss America” winners have been black.
So, why do we have a separate “Miss Black America Pageant”?
Is “equality” not enough?
Is there a "Miss Asian America",
a "Miss Hispanic America",
a "Miss Filipina America"
or a "Miss Polish America"?
I don't know.
Maybe there actually is such a thing.
If so, there should not be.
There should be one pageant, open and equal to all races and nationalities.

#5. Who was the first Latino Baseball Player?
Most Americans don’t know.
I do not, nor do I care.
How about Dat Nguyen, an American football player of Vietnamese descent?
I’ve never heard any commotion made over who was the first Vietnamese, Samoan, or Hispanic football player.
Have you?
Why is it utterly important to emphasize who it was that was the first black baseball player?

#6. Why do some people rush to call a celebrity “black”, who is only part black?
For Example: What if the mother of Tiger is offended because he is not called Asian?
What if he simply wants to be called an “American”?

#7. Why did Oprah have a “Celebrity Ball” for only black women?
As Oprah specified, it was for: “Those who have paved the way for other black women”.
Shouldn’t she apologize for that, Al Sharpton?
Why didn’t Oprah have a ball for 100 women, whose races reflected our population percentages?
What would have happened if a leading white celebrity held a “Celebrity Ball” for 30 or 40 white women who have paved the way for white women only, and it was aired on prime-time?

#8. In March 2007, Chris Rock was on one of the late night talk shows.
Talk about racism.
He flat said that “whites” are not athletes.
He even made fun of Babe Ruth’s accomplishments.
But he's allowed to because he's a comedian.
Al Sharpton, have you called for the firing of Chris Rock?
How about an apology to the Ruth family, Ruth fans, and Ruth's former franchise affiliations?

(If Chris Rock would study Babe Ruth’s accomplishments, he will discover that Babe was a better athlete than he knows. The seasons back then had about 40% fewer games than they do now. So, now compare home-run statistics per games played. The balls and bats were not nearly as active as they are today; and Babe Ruth was also very effective as a pitcher. Show me one player in the last 40 years who could hit home-runs as well as pitch. Babe Ruth accomplished what he did without today’s hi-tech weight training, personal trainers, whirlpools, or artificial supplements.)

#9. Where were you, Al Sharpton, back when John Thompson, former coach of Georgetown, said that he would not actively recruit “white players”?

#10. In the Seventies, under “Affirmative Action”, it was demanded that 18% of all coaches were to be black.
Did Al Sharpton likewise demand that 68% of all athletes were to be white?
Since you are so leading the world for equality, I guess that I can safely estimate that 60% of your staff is white.

(? Percentages & reverse-ism)

Just wondering!

Isn’t all of this behavior really “reverse discrimination”?

Perhaps the battle no longer is over “equality”.

Come on, Al Sharpton, you can tell me.

You actually could care less about equality, ... that is, as long as your race progresses, and you draw a fat check on trying to make it happen.

According to the actions, and words of one Chris Rock, the new battle must rather be supremacy.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE:
Al Sharpton has not addressed Chris Rock, Oprah, John Thompson, and/or Rappers, at least not with the same viciousness, with which he went after Imus.

Al Sharpton are you in agreement with the hateful, racist attitude, which came forth from one Chris Rock?

Why is it okay for a “comedian” to slur or slam whomever they wish, but not a radio jock?



Al Sharpton, If you want my attention:


#1. Call for the FIRING of all Rappers who have used demeaning words;


#2. Give Oprah a call, and demand a public apology from her;


#3. YOU go meet with the Duke Lacrosse team and apologize to them in person and televised;


#4. YOU go on national television and bar-be-cue Chris Rock for being racist;


#5. Either stop the programs that are "Black-_____" programs

(Miss Black America, United Negro College Fund, Black-Expo, NAACP...etc.);

or start some "White-_____" programs

(Miss White America, United White College Fund, White-Expo, NAAWP ...etc.)

Isn't it obvious who is racist?


#6. Stop promoting one race over another race.

It only worsens the problem.

But maybe thats what you want ...it assures your check.

If there was true peace, and total racial harmony, your income would be in jeopardy.



Can we all live together in harmony?

Absolutely!


In order for all races to live in harmony,
we each must become colorblind.


(1st Corinthians 12:13, Galatians 3:28, Ephesians 2:13-22 & Colossians 3:11)

Once you earn it, I will refer to you as “Reverend” Al Sharpton.

Yesterday, Thursday, April12TH, 2007, students at East High School in Columbus, Indiana were discussing the very one-sided nature of Al Sharpton.

They have realized that he is reverse-discriminatory in his words and deeds.

Hopefully, many of today’s kids will turn away from this vulgar in-your-face rap music ...excuse me ... rap-trash!



True equality is both the absence of prejudice against,
and the void of preferential favoritism.


We each cherish our own roots;

BUT let's not impose them on everyone else.
