Racism?

I am white. For many people this means that I do not have the right to talk about race. I am going to anyway. Am I racist? No. Do you know what is racist? Black separatism. What is racist is when leaders of the black community get up and try to blame everything on race. Take, for example, this morning the Reverend, Doctor, Representative Vernon Smith of the Indiana House of Representatives got up in front of the assembly and rattled off a list of facts.

Black males make up a large percentage of the prison population.

Black males have a higher mortality rate.

Black males have a higher unemployment rate.

Black male students are more likely to receive out of school suspension.

I am sick and tired of this. THIS is racism. To blame these things on race! Have you considered that maybe black males go to prison because they commit crimes? Just as white males do? Have you considered that black males have a higher mortality rate because of gang violence? Have you considered that black males may experience a higher unemployment rate, not because of the color of their skin, but because of the clothes that they wear to the interview which are five times too big for them. And when interviewing, these black males speak in Ebonics. Just as some white males do not get jobs because they dress and speak poorly. Have you considered that black male students receive out of school suspension because they misbehave in school? Teachers do not give out of school suspensions based on the pigment of your skin.

It is the 21st century and it is about time that we get over this crap. If there is racism in the world, it is perpetuated by the leaders of the black community who constantly use the color of their skin as a scapegoat. You know what is racist? Affirmative action is racist. To give someone a job or a acceptance to a university because they are a minority rather than give it to a white person who is more qualified is the epitome of racism!

Maybe I should just wait a few years until the influx of illegal Hispanic immigrants is such that I become a minority and I can take advantage of this type of racism.
