You know sometimes the things i think about government scare me. Moving towards socialization of medicine, watching pro football players hit and kill pedestrians while intoxicated and spend a month behind bars while paying the victims family a hefty sum for the trouble. But before i really get into the topic in which i really want to speak of i want to make a point very very clear. I am not a racist. Nor will i ever be a racist. As a member of Amnesty International in my high school days i am far from one. But on thing that absolutly floors me is reverse racisim.
This topic is obviously very touchy for clear reasons. But due to recent events i feel i must voice my opinion.
Im tired of it always being our fault. Im tired of people feeling that the world owes them somthing for events that happened over five generations ago. You nor I was around at that time, so stop blaming this generation for the problems that exist today.
What i mean by reverse racisim is the fact that its ok for there to be all black fraternitys but no all white fraternitys. All black colleges but no all white colleges. All black scholorships but no all white. A BLACK HISTORY MONTH.....and nothing especially for the "majority".
Back in the thirties and forties, there was a group in a very similar situation. They had done nothing wrong whatsoever. Simple peaceful people with simple beliefs. But then they were systymatically slaughtered by the millions. Yet there are no fraternities. No colleges. No month for their remeberance. Now what differentiates the two? Culture? Perspective? We may never know what causes this vast gap in reaction.
