? THE COLOR OF RACISM 2021

U.S.A. RACISM MAY BE BOTH SYSTEMIC AND ENDEMIC 

Def…. endemic A disease or condition regularly found among particular people or in a certain area. Endemic is an adjective that means natural to, native to, confined to, or widespread within a place or population of people.

 Endemic is perhaps most commonly used to describe a disease that is prevalent in or restricted to a particular location, region, or population. For example, malaria is said to be endemic to tropical regions. 

Def… systemic Something that affects the whole instead of just parts, and is inherent in the basic nature of the entire of the construct.

 I have often wondered about why Whites are racists, and no other race is...... 

Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? 

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab 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. 

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 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. A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant. 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 Colleges in the US . Yet if there were 'White 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. I am proud...... But you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists?? There is nothing improper about this. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves! BE PROUD TO BE WHITE! And No, I am Not Racist! It's not a crime YET.... But getting very close!
