Hey calipoppy, go on and beleive what you want about me. It doesn't matter because I'm white and I'm right!!!

Now this is an example of someone responding to you as a racist, now let me give a real response.

You are brainwashed by what you 'think' every white person thinks about minorities. Have I said anything in any of my threads about people not needing a little help to make it in the world? No I didn't. You're missing the point. If you only knew how it was for me growing up you would see where I'm coming from. But go on and guess about my life from what you see on tv about whitey. Make up whatever responses you like to attack me as liberals and democrats love to do so much on here. It's a waist of time because I guarantee you wouldn't even begin to guess my life and if I hated minorities or not because you have it pre-determined in your head that whites hate minorities...lol...'N-jokes" in public.....that's great!!! Is that what you really got out of my response?....lol

You sir are hilarious

Ok I'll disregard all of these programs except the Italian American ones because that's the only one I would qualify for ok?

Now let's take a look at what they offer...

1. Italian Language Study Grants
A matching grant program open to organizations, schools, and community groups that wish to launch or expand the teaching of Italian in their local public or private elementary, intermediate, or high schools. The grant money may be used to purchase teaching materials, pay teacher and/or teacher's aide's salaries, or for any legitimate and academically sound activity that furthers the study of Italian in the school for one academic year. The language program may be held before, after, or during school hours; full or part time.

2. Culture and Heritage Grant Awards
Available to organizations pursuing projects to promote, research, educate, or preserve Italian American culture, history, or heritage. Examples include: documentaries, doctoral research, exhibits, conferences, books, media stereotyping/anti-defamation surveys, campaigns, etc., plays, and course syllabi.


If you read closely it doesn't help anyone except those who plan on promoting Italian American culture. These grants won't help me get a job because I happen to be an Italian American.

And sadly, you are mistaken on many counts....

1) I do not believe that "every" White person is a racist.

2) I do not know (nor care) what every White person thinks about Black people

3) Why do the following obligatory questions always pop up in these debates....."and why can't White people tell Black jokes" or " Why can't White people use the 'N' word"? Why ask for "permission" when you do it already, anyway?

4) Why do certain types of White people love to play the "White Man's Burden" card yet scream "race card" at the top of their lungs the moment a "person of color" challenges the status quo?

5) I have never known any Black person who refers to White people as "whitey".

6) FYI - I am not a "sir"

In regards to number 5, you have no idea how many times i've heard it. I hear it all the time in Philadelphia (the city, not the suburbs) when I used to go there to hang out with my best friend, and when I would tell my, back then black classmates that I was Hispanic and born in Puerto Rico, then they would feel comfortable talking about "whitey"

It may be an issue of socioeconomic "class" more than "race" because I have never heard any members of my family or friends (even acquaintances) refer to White people as "whitey". We just call White people "White people".

Well, in this case you are right! I do not believe that there are any government benefits available just for blacks. Perhaps you, or the poster who made that claim, can enlighten me.

What I'm interested in hearing is why it's only accusations against whites that are considered "the race card". Why didn't anyone accuse Glenn Beck of playing the race card when he said that Obama hated white people? Why isn't "the race card" brought up whenever somebody says something along the lines of "blacks are the REAL racists" or "whites are the true victims of racism"?

You don't even know me and think I'm some kind of racist without knowing my life. You base it on your predetermined notions that all whites hate you if you are black, but they just conceal the hate in public places.

It doesn't even matter what anyone says when they debate race with people like you because you already have it in your mind that people hate blacks when they discuss anything to do with race.

YouTube - Mark Levin Interviews Stephen A. Smith
So sorry but I will always call out racists no matter how many times racist Republicans scream about using the "Race Card"....it's their weak defense to try to hide their rather obvious racism.


Your OP example is Racist .

Why would blacks criticizing Obama prove anything except that some black people are criticizing Obama ???? It's racism to think that all blacks should agree with Obama because he is black.
