Some thoughts about 'White Racism'
How far must the pendulum swing before it reverses? Isn't history cyclical?
The following passage arrived as an email from a friend of a friend of… Yes, it has no concrete origin or attribution as many of these messages lack, but it is a superb expression of the feelings that many of us strive to express. Unfortunately, many of these thoughts never move beyond our immediate circles, and the issues presented need to be brought to a much wider audience.
There are several references to expressions that we associate with hate and prejudice, but it is necessary for the reader to distance oneself from the expression and view it in a much larger context so that the intent of the essay is not lost in narrow criticism. As indicated following the quoted text, I oppose all derogatory terms of hate and derision.
Hopefully, the result of reading this text will be the renewed focus on where we need to progress to if we are to survive the damage that has been done to our nation since the 2008 election.

A Thought-Provoking Passage Written by An Englishman About the Current Situation in HIS Homeland
I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is.
There are British Africans, British Chinese, British Asian, British Turks, etc, etc, etc.
And then there are just British.,. You know what I mean, plain ole English people that were born here. You can include the Welsh, the Scottish and the people who live off our shores of Great Britain on tiny islands Yes, we are all true Brits.
The others that live here say the following:
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'.... White trash....White c--t .... And that's OK.
But when I call you, ******, Spade, Towel head, Sand-******, Paki, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist. 1
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 Muslim Council of Great Britain.
You have Black History Month.
You have swimming pools for Asian women.
You have Islamic banks for Muslims only.
You have year of the dragon day for Chinese people.
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.
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black Britain or Miss Asia, but any color can be in the Miss UK.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 200 openly proclaimed Muslim only schools in England . Yet if there were 'White schools only', that would be a racist school!
In the Bradford riots and Toxteth riots, you believed that you were standing up for your race and rights. If we stood-up 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.
We fly our flag, we are racists. If we celebrate St. George’s day we are racists.
You can fly your flag and it’s called diversity. You celebrate your cultures and it’s called multiculturalism.
You rob us, carjack us, and rape our daughters. But, when a white police officer arrests a black gang member or beats up an Asian drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to 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 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!
BEING PROUD TO BE WHITE! It's not a crime, YET... But getting very close!

1 I believe to my core that the expressions quoted in the two sentences are completely derogatory and inexcusable in all contexts. They are part of the essay text as they are salient to its purpose.
It's funny that this arrived in my inbox almost as I was discussing the precise issue with some friends. I don't believe I need to forward it to my email friends. No, I need to send it much further than my own circle of friends.
The author is a mirror of the thoughts and opinions of, in my humble opinion, most people of logic and reasonable mentality, a group that of course excludes those of liberal, woke, progressive leaning. That puts those of us who generally agree with the author in a vast majority, and I dare say that many of the 'others', those who don't identify as 'white' likely agree with us. The entire world has gone 'bonkers' (allow me to use this word I've borrowed from the Brits), but it will not continue that way for much longer. I see more and more signs of another awakening by those who have become the 'victims' of this misguided reasoning process.
What goes around comes around, and we've seen these cycles of hate and social preference come and go throughout history, and I believe America will wake up and begin to right the ship through the next two election cycles. This is not a hope, but an obligation that we must shoulder if we are to move back to 'normalcy' and survival of our Constitutional Republic. We know what we have to do. As good American citizens, the direction is up to us.
