The chain letter you post is, admittedly, idiotic and brings to bare no relevant points, but your own comments are so blindly liberal it makes me want to scream.
Thing ghettos all have in common isn't skin color, it's BEING POOR.
Right, and being poor gives you license to commit crimes against the average working man? Ok, now I get it!
The reason there is not a United White College Fund is because white kids looking to go to college have not been denied access in the way that black kids were.
So, I guess being poor isn't enough to be entitled to a free education. You have to be black AND poor. I guess that's fair in some other plane of existence...
Hey, there were white pride days! They were called "KKK rallies".
Before I comment, let me make it clear that I don't believe being any particular race is something to be "proud" of. People should take pride in their actions and the way they conduct themselves. But anyway, you have to admit that it's sort of a slippery slope to assume that just because someone takes pride in being white that automatically means that they want to burn crosses on black people's lawns or hold lynchings.
If you're really all hot and bothered with the fact that so-called white pride parades and the like are looked at as nakedly racist, take it up with the KKK or the Aryan Nation.
By this logic, one should be perfectly justified to consider all black people bad because a portion of the black community is repeatedly involved in violent criminal activity.
I can honestly say that I don't judge a person by the color of his skin. I do, however, make a first-impression judgment based on a) the way one carries himself, b) his use of proper grammar and pronunciation, c) the way he dresses. If you want people's respect, then you have to make an investment in yourself to earn that respect. That includes not wearing a shirt that goes down to your knees and not walking like you have a load in your pants.
