need help please, in responding to rw email garbage!!
does anybody have a ready-to-hand response to this drivel? I have seen it before, but this time, it was sent by somebody who should know better.

thank you in advance.








White America



Subject: White America








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, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.

1. How tough it must have been
for this white person to grow up in America. What trials an tribulations they must have gone through and to have such courage to now stand up and proudly declare they are the majority race in this country. BRAVO to you, sir, and I, too, someday hope to live in an area of this country where I am not discriminated against, beaten, and disparaged because I am white. I can only imagine.

10. Well, my first thought was
"Fuck off you piece of shit." But I decided to go with satire.

Bravo to you! :applause:

9. Well, you know it's just been so distasteful to have to walk by
all those black folks hanging from the trees when you're walking into town to be fitted for that new suit.

For the slow, :sarcasm:

22. Nice response here
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/9/25/125742/498

But be careful, I sent it back to a cousin who had a habit of sending me overtly racist e mails and she done't speak to me anymore.

2. Best Reponse
Don't.

It is a waste of time. Nothing you can do or say will change the mind of
somebody who buys this crap.

5. I'm a white American, and I'd like to know
How many times have Whites been chained to pick-ups and draged to death? How many times have Whites been lynched and hung because they were White? How many White churches have been burned down?

I could go on and on. History is the best answer to this email.

6. There are black, asian, and mexican neighborhoods becuase white
chambers of commerce won't let those people live in white neighborhoods. The reason why you don't have white month, white day, and white colleges is because they are all built into the system. Only a white idiot would fail to see that.

8. Why waste your time?
Edited on Sat Apr-14-07 11:34 AM by givemebackmycountry
Seriously.

I mean that.

Why waste your time responding to such a vile e-mail?
It's clear that anyone who would send that to another person is SO far gone, they are unreachable.

Dis-associate yourself from this person and purge them from your life forever.
Block their e-mails...whatever.

You say it was sent by someone who should know better.
Clearly, they do not.

Best of luck to you.

11. Typical. WHy bother, they aren't smart enough? You could point out
that every month is white history month, that most scholarships are from the equivalent of the United White College Fund, that our national history of forcing non-whites to live in poverty and go to inferior schools has effectively made the university system in America into a majority white system, that white people have forced--often with laws--minorities to live in "ghettoes" in deplorable poverty-striken lifestyles, and that the poverty is what causes these places to be so dangerous, that racial slurs from white folk often result in oppression, beatings, deaths, rapes, and all forms of dehumanization, whereas race-based insults from non-whites are mostly a reaction to the disgusting racist history of our white government, which, by the way, is and has always been so overwhelming white that it takes fractions to measure the non-white presence in it...

Yeah, it would be a waste of time. The only response you should give is trashing the note and blocking the sender, maybe after replying "Please don't send me disgusting racist hate mail, and your fake white outrage does NOT justify the use of the N word."

12. I would respond by agreeing that he's a racist
Ya think maybe that's why people call him one?

Read that crap, and you'd think that only people from other races commit crimes. You'd think that white America was being economically excluded from the country. You'd think that white kids were being kept from going to college. Does that even remotely sound true on any point?

There's nothing to refute here, except by saying it is the stupidest bizarro-world crap I have ever seen. This was written by a racist who is whining about how he can't be openly racist anymore.

13. This is what guys with small cocks who don't get sex do -
Pass on such emails to make themselves feel good about themselves and to reach out to like minded pencil dicks.

18. The most direct method would be to send it back to them and ask
that they not send you any more racist emails. However, if you think that this approach would upset them, it's probably best to just ignore it.

Don't argue, don't dispute, just reply like this.

21. The problem in America is actually the definition of racism
I find Americans confuse racism with prejudice. Racism is the systemic practice by one race to deprive other races or ethnicities of equality. Prejudice is when I don't like you because of your colour, gender, sexuality, etc. If I have a business and refuse to hire someone because of my own prejudice, if I refuse to let you dine in my restaurant, drink water at a cooler, etc., at that point I am a racist. Now if I refuse to date someone because I prefer dating my own kind, that is not racism although if I threaten my kids when they chose their own mates from other races, I am racist.
