So I'll just get this out of the way right now. I AM OF MIXED BLOOD. THIS ESSAY WAS NOT INTENDED AS A SLAM AGAINST ANY RACE (obviously, since I'm everything). IT IS MERELY TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. YES, I DO NOT LIKE OBAMA. NO, I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH OTHER RACES.
Are we okay now? Okay. So I'll get a little annoyed if you write a review sounding similar to the following: "You terrible person! You are a racist/evil right-winger/demon! You should stop writing this crap/jump off a cliff..." You get the idea. Unless your review has something OTHER than that, you will be ignored.
Great. Now that we have that mess taken care of...enjoy!
Reverse Racism in America
The American Heritage Dictionary defines racism as “1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.” All through history, people have engaged in racism. They fully believed that they were better than another person simply because of the color of their skin, so therefore discriminated against people not of their “perfect” race. It has been going on in America since colonial times, and is still going on. However, the tables have been turned. Instead of just the blacks being discriminated against, it’s also the whites. In addition to this, few care that this is going on, as they always did with the racism against blacks. Some pretend that it doesn’t actually exist. Excuse me, Liberal victimizers, yes it does! There is quite a bit of what is becoming known as “reverse racism” in America (which is racism anyway).
Some defenders of racism argue that Blacks, Jews, Native Americans, etc. had it really bad because of white people and that white people started all their problems. If that were true, I would not think of writing this. The trouble I have with their argument is that they make it seem like America invented slavery. Do we need to go back to history class? Even the Bible has some references of slavery not beginning in the United States. In fact, didn’t the Jews have slaves in the Bible? I believe we can consider that bubble burst, especially taking into consideration the fact that this deal with slavery goes back thousands of years. I can’t really say it’s relevant. Okay, so my ancestors could have possibly owned my black neighbor’s ancestors. So what? I would not mind going to dinner and a movie with him. It is the 21st Century, after all.
I am not saying that slavery is (or ever was) a little problem, or anything like that. Slavery was a deplorable, unbiblical, disgusting practice that should have never been around. However, it has been abolished for some time now. To counter that argument, some use the segregation card. Once again: I am not saying that segregation wasn’t a problem, and I am not making it smaller than it was. However, what I am saying is this: It didn’t happen to they themselves, did it? It happened their grandparents, but not them specifically. Sure there’s still racism around against blacks. Does that justify what they, and other minorities, are doing to whites? No.
Seinfield was doing a stand up comedy act a while ago, and said something that sounded racist against blacks. The resulting to-do put people out of sorts for quite some time. He had to make a formal apology (and, I think, pay a fine or something) at the end of the big mess. I thought the media would have a collective coronary when that happened. However, I noticed something strange the other night while flipping channels. On one station they were talking about the Seinfield scandal, and on the commercial break there was an ad for a black comedian. He was saying things like “This white guy” and “That white guy” Coming from him, it’s funny, but coming from a white guy? You racist fool! Shame on you! I cannot grasp this concept at all. The minorities can make those kinds of comments, but others have to pay a fine and publicly apologize? Where is the famous American equality in that?
Speaking of equality, the media has made saints out of some people, not reported about others, and even falsely reported simply because of their race. It makes the subject rather delicate, I suppose. The news needs to give me the news according to the facts, not the news according to their views. The media elected Obama by making him out to be a saint, and his wife some sort of Cinderella type character. His kids are accessories to make the couple look nice, on occasion. Another example of unbalanced media would be the “Wichita Massacre” two years ago. Four young victims were kidnapped, attacked, sexually tortured, and then brutally murdered. Oh yes, and the victims were white. Their murderers are just now being put on trial. At the time, there was one, possibly two news centers that reported the slaughter. Meanwhile, a kid in Los Angeles got punched. Naturally, there was an uproar. Why? He was black, so they had to make it a way bigger deal than the butchering of four white kids. That’s media’s logic for you.
Aside from the bias of the media (which is more considerable than can be expressed in a single essay), the average American should know that there is at least one person in every race in the entire world that thinks their race is better than every other. I do not understand how a person can blatantly deny that reverse racism exists. Essentially, it is racism. In my research, I came across a very liberal message board. One poster wrote something to the effect of “Reverse racism doesn’t exist, stupid. Not when the Republicans have all the social advantages.” Yes, because having some advantages means that I’m not being discriminated against? As mentioned above, many liberals/Democrats/left-wingers prefer to viciously attack you. They jump to insist that no, those black people that throw rocks at you and say cruel racist things to you are not being racist. What is it, then? Is it like when little boys kick sand into little girls’ eyes “because they actually like them”? Somehow, I’m going to have to disagree. Ignore those liberal attempts to shush me when I say that this type of racism is real.
This racism has infected places it really shouldn’t. Specifically, the White House. In case you don’t know, Michelle Obama’s college thesis is pretty much about how white people are the bane of Mankind. You know, the really funny thing that some of these dark-supremacy groups forget is that Obama is half-white. The fact that the President and his family are so adamantly racist against white people is a little scary. Is he for my death and destruction? I am not okay with that. I don’t know about you, but I value life.
Though liberals would violently disagree, reverse racism exists enormously here in America. It is no better than white people being racist towards non-whites, and yet few care. Not many dare to speak up about the unfairness of this, for fear of being called a racist. These days, you can’t round a corner without being called a racist. These days, anti-whites can get away with anything (even murder), as long as their skin is a different color than their victim (see the Wichita Massacre). Goodbye, America. It was fun while it lasted.
