Okay, so I’m a German American, also known as “white”.
My friend was whining about how why people don’t get half of the privileges blacks get, but techinally, we do and don’t know it. I’m half German and 1/4 Dutch and 1/4 Scottish, so I get 3 national holidays and several cultural societies and scholarships. But why would they give me a scholarship because my great-great grandmother came to New York in 1901? I mean, we all had to get here some-how, right? So that means that they have to give the scholarship to everyone, right? African American is the biggest racial group, because us white can be Irish, French, Boer, Scandinavian, Swiss, Albanian, Polish, British, Welch, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Russian, ANY country in Europe, and “African” kind of covers every African country.
But that’s just one point, there’s several others about African being treated horribly and the scholarship for the African Americas can be for the fact that maybe they can’t get a break and need money to get they’re daughter and/or son to medical school, or law school, or whatever he and/or she wants to be, but they can’t pay for it because of the hard times they family wne through in the 60s. That’s one reason why they have a African American scholarship.
But how come most blacks tend to think that white hate them, like what Kanye West said, he said “White don’t care about blacks” when that’s not true! So blacks can be just as ****** as white, but black can say all the racial comments on whtie like they are joking, but whites can’t about blacks (not like we EVER should, but still). I was just wondering why blacks can say mean these about whites and make fun of us, but do blacks find it insulting when whites act black and make mimick blacks? Are the racial things blacks say about whites the same whites say about blacks? And do blacks have the right to day these things about white because we treated them terrible for so long? I find most racial joke blacks make about whites hilarous and don’t mind them at all, but what about other whites? I just want to hear you opinions.
