THE SAD TRUTH IN WHATS HAPPENING TO WHITE AMERICA. BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!!!!

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

This is great. I have been wondering about

why Whites are racists, and no other race is.

Proud to be White,

Michael Richards makes his point…

Michael Richards better known as Kramer

from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.

This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments

in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points…

Someone finally said it… How many are actually paying attention

to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian

Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Ameri-

cans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call

me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey,’ ‘Caveman’ … and

that’s OK.

But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel

Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink … You call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you… so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther

King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez

Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma’uled Al-Nabi. You have

the NAACP. You have BET… 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 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??

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant,

but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships

… You know we’d be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US .

Yet if there were ‘White colleges’ That would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching

for your race and rights.

If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange,

and you’re not afraid to announce it.

But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police

officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-

dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you

call him a racist.

I am proud… But you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists??

There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let’s see which of you

are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don’t think many will. That’s

why we have lost most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won’t

stand up for ourselves!

BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!

It’s not a crime yet .. but getting real close!

Why aren’t there any university scholarships exclusively for white males?

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

There are scholarships for african americans, natives, women, hispanics, asians etc. but none are specifically for white males. What gives? This is not a racist question, it is true. I think that it is racist that you would give money to someone because they are a certain color, why not just have general scholarships based on marks, community involvement etc. instead of playing the race card?

I understand where you are coming from bc by 2042 caucasian americans are projected to be in the minority, and there are plenty of them who have a hard time affording college. But read more on the link below and do some research at your college to see what type of scholarships are available for you to apply.

In response to the statement below maybe a few select feminists would be upset but I don’t think it would stop male scholarships from passing. The majority of college women aren’t feminists, and aren’t going to mind or even know about male only scholarships. I know a lot of men that dropped out but they chose too. Anyone who wants to go to college can if you really wanted. I’m a single female who wasn’t able to get a grant, and didn’t have a scholarship but made it through on minimum wage and working hard.

Obsession? When can whites call it an attack?

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Tell me this is not a convincing argument. I would love to politely laugh in your face.

What’s with the racist and sexist scholarships?

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

I’ve seen scholarships for African-Americans only, but I figured it was probably just some sort of Affirmative Action thing. Now I’m seeing scholarships pop up that only WOMEN are eligible for. What the hell? Last time I checked, there are actually more women than men in college at the present time. What makes people think women and minorities need some edge to be on par with everyone else. When are the white males going to get some love?

See, the deal is that the people who fund those scholarships can give them to whoever they want to. It’s their money and they often specify some favorite group to give to.

White males (WASPs) will "get some love" when other white males start to fund scholarships and restrict them in the same way. But reality is that most restricted funded scholarships don’t come from fellow WASPS but instead from special interest groups or individuals with an interest in a particular group – if you want to fund a scholarship for 6′6" New Jersey left-handed tennis players with one eye – you’re free to do so. Just as some groups are free to fund for African-Americans or women.

When we WASPs send money to a college we very often mark it for some athletic need like a new field house. But, for the most part, we just send the money and let the college decide. So, if you think there should be a White Anglo Saxon Protestant Males Majoring in Biology with a 3.75+ GPA Who Also Play Football Scholarship at your school, fund it and there will be. ?

I think you’ll find that, if you look deeply, there are more scholarships out there for we WASPS than for any other group on earth. It’s just that some of those also fund the other groups as well.

More women in college? Yes there are. But scholarship funders don’t make decisions based on which group is underrepresented – they fund whoever they want to. If you think there need to be more for men, fund them.

But it’s not "racist" or "sexist" — it’s self-serving. We men have just been taught for a generation that it’s bad to be self-serving if you’re a man. We’re made to feel guilty if we think we should get ahead – and so, let’s see where that idea leads the next generation.

Scholarships for white people of African descent?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

I’m a senior in high school, and I’m looking for scholarships to apply for. I am a white woman, but my mother is from South Africa. So are my grandparents. I have six generations on my mother’s side from South Africa, spanning back past the Boer War.

I know there are several scholarships for African-Americans who are black, but do you know of any for white people?

I’m not trying to be offensive, I’m just trying to get scholarship grants. Thanks!

Holistic Tips to Soothe Dry Winter Skin

Friday, March 5th, 2010

The skin all over your face and body needs some tender loving care to survive Winter. Sensitivities, eczema, psoriasis and itchy skin are often made worse in the cold, dry weather. A holistic approach works best, that means thinking about what you put on your skin, what you put inside your body and factors in your environment.

Natural skin and mineral makeup excel because they don’t contain detergents or synthetic substances that dry and irritate skin. Plant oils closely resemble the oils in your skin and work to nourish the deep layers. Swapping from a chemical or petroleum-based skin or makeup product will make a difference and keep your natural beauty glowing.

1. Drink plenty of water: Hydrate your skin from the inside out and help carry nutrients to your skin cells. Eating lots of juicy fruit and vegetables helps too.

2. Pull on an extra jumper and turn down the heaters: A cooler environment helps reduce moisture loss from your skin. If you do put on the heater, place bowls of water around the room.

3. Keep showers short and warm: As glorious as a long hot shower can be in Winter, hot water will strip moisture from your skin. And, we all know that shorter showers save precious water.

4. Luscious lips: No-one’s lips are safe in Winter. When dry lips crack or become stressed, you increase the chance of a coldsore. Keep lips protected with a plant-oil lip balm. Petrochemical lip balms sit on the skin rather than soaking in and working to heal the skin as well.

5. Use gentle, creamy, plant cleansers: Ingredients such as sulphates, propylene glycol and alcohol can irritate and dry skin. Choose soaps hand made from 100 per cent olive oil. Shampoos that contain sulphates and chemicals can also cause itchy scalp and dry skin problems.

6. Use a natural moisturiser that nourishes your skin. Petrochemical or mineral oil moisturisers form a layer on top of your skin rather than being absorbed in to lubricate and support the skin. Apply the moisturiser while your skin is damp to lock in extra moisture. Intensive skin boosters like rose hip, sweet almond and jojoba oils do wonders for your natural beauty.

7. Exfoliate and hydrate. Gentle exfoliation removes the dead cell layer making it easier for your skin to absorb moisturisers. Hydrating flower mists or masks help refresh dry skin.

8. Use plant oil-based makeup or mineral makeup. Synthetic-free makeup and makeup without petrochemicals is gentler and less drying for your skin. However, not all mineral makeup is pure. Some mineral makeup contains irritating and drying ingredients, so avoid those that list Bismuth Oxychloride and Talc.

Another benefit is that mineral makeup containing the minerals Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide are non-chemical sun blocks that also help to protect skin from damage in Winter.
