The Race Against Racism

The race against racism is the chance and opportunity in which a race pulls the race card first.

I bothers me that racism is always reflected towards blacks and whites as a white individual being racist to someone who is black. If you really want to work up society and stir up a controversial issue, all you need is someone like Don Imus, a radio personality to take a bad joke too far.

A white man, Don Imus is known to make humorous jokes on his talk show. Yet I take it as though he took it to far when he crossed the color line;; refer to a majority black female basketball team as “nappy-headed hoe’s”. Would this joke had been more acceptable if it was between one white person to another? Or, is it tabboo because the mind set is still establish that all whites are bonded to ancestry of slave owners and we must have some sincere hatred for blacks deep down inside?

It is not acceptable in our society for a white person to say something towards a black person; without the race card being pulled. But what about when some blacks engage in name calling and degrading all white people because of what some white people did in the south years ago.

When a black person is called a Nigger the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People swoops in to give all whites a bad name. What happens when whites are victimized by racism? Do they have a National Association for the Advancement of White People? No they don’t. Are the feelings and image of a white person invalid in society since slavery time?

Racism comes in all color and form. We should not overlook it, nor should we contribute to it. Make sure you view a situation from not one, but two spectrums.
