The Flip Medley

I saw this…

He goes on and on about stuff like this:

If we had WET

(White Entertainment Television)

…..We’d be racists

If we had a White Pride Day

…..You would call us racists

If we had White History Month

…..We’d be racists

If we had any organization for

only whites to ‘advance’

OUR lives, …..You better

believe that we’d be racists

We have a Hispanic

Chamber of Commerce,

a Black Chamber of Commerce,

and then we just have the plain

Chamber of Commerce

Wonder who pays for that?

…and I couldn’t help but think that he probably suffers from a bad case of RH (Revisionist History), because while he’s bitching and moaning about all the “reverse racism” that exists today, he doesn’t think about people like my father who were passed over for jobs they were qualified for not once or twice, but repeatedly for over a decade.

This, of course, created a cascading effect — Dad brings less money home, so as a result it affected everything for the next generation: where we lived, what schools he could afford to send us to, and so on. It’s not like we can just take a snapshot of our society today and say, “Look! The playing field is level! Why are you people complaining!?!!!” as if all of the sins of yesteryear will just vanish because institutionalized racism is no longer sanctioned by the government.

So yeah, this guy is bitching and moaning, but my response would be that his parents had every opportunity this country could make available to them and all they raised was a whiner. My parents lived through Jim Crow and segregation, where they couldn’t even eat in the presence of a white person, and now I enjoy working (and playing ) alongside people of all races, creeds, and colors.

And my car is cooler than his car anyways**.

** Okay, but I just wanted to put that jab in there, people!
