Am I racist? (Crazy thing I read)

So i just saw this posted on a forum somewhere, and I kind of said, "wow". It seems true, but I don't know what to say?

Quote:

Am I racist?
You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK.
But if I called you Kike, Towelhead, WOP, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Gook, nigger or Chink you would 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 racist.
If we had a White Pride Day... you would call us racist.
If we had white history month... we'd be racist.
If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives... we'd be racist.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...you know we'd be racist.
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 racist.
Did you know that some high school students decided to make a club for only the white students because the other ethnicities had them?... they all got sent to court for being racist but the african-american, latino, and asia clubs were not even questioned.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But if we announced our white pride, you would call us racists.
I am white.
I am proud.
But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
Repost if you agree.
Now watch, I'll be a racist for posting this.

Australia, and New Zealand. oh boy.

Well, i'm home from work, and it's midnight, and i just saw the little "Backpacking Australia" folder on my desktop of the computer. Now I'm VERY excited; actually, I get excited each time I see it now. It's true, my dream is slowly but surely becoming a FUCKING reality. Heck yes. It will be a 5-6 month journey that takes me from Melbourne all the way around and back to Canberra. I'm think more 5 months; 4 months in Australia, and 1 month in New Zealand. And I decided to actually attempt to get fit for this trip. Don't call me a loser for this, its just a little motivation.



Now I'm going to the bar.

osht. College.

Holy shit. That 2 worded sentence just about sums up what i'm thinking right now. I fucking start college in 12 damn days. Holy shit again. As happy as I am that i'll get to meet some new people, and have some good times, its still College. Me, Brett, am going to college. Holy shit. I'll be taking some nerdy shit (the only shit I know, haha) in the field of Network technology. I pretty much have based my entire life off of going into this field. I hope I like it, and it all works out, cause if it doesn't I have alot of thinking to do. As fun as it should be, I am shit scared. Once again, Holy shit.

Its been quite some time.

I have had much to rant about, but have either been to busy to post it, or to lazy to get on here, haha. I hope to get some ranting going soon, and I hope there are a few people who will actually read it, haha, but "whatevz", I just love to rant.

Europe.

Wow, all I have is fond memories of this place. Visited Spain, Italy, and France for school in March/April 2008. I'll never forget it. It was just one of those things that I have ALWAYS dreamed of doing. Since I can remember I have loved history, not really Canadian history, but especially European history. We visited churches, basilicas, cathedrals, amphitheatres, aqueducts, and everything you can imagine. I never really new how much this trip would mean to me until I first set foot in Spain. Now, I have a hard time even thinking of the trip, even writing this is hard. Sadness overwhelms me, and yet I do not fully understand why. Shouldn't something like this of made me feel better. I try to tell myself that I have seen things that other people dream of seeing, I have seen things that I HAVE ALWAYS dreamed of seeing, yet its all to no prevail. I wish I could go back, and be with the 29 others I was with during that 2 week period. One day, maybe in the near future, I will head back, and visit some of the places I never got to see. Never shall I forgot the Ward's Wanderers, the Cassils Castles, and the Gable's Griswolds.

Oh, Religion.

There are going to be many that disagree with what I am about to say, and talk about. But again, this is for me, to put my thoughts into words. Feel free to comment, I would like to know what everyone's thoughts are. Well, ever since I started learning about the Universe and everything in it, as well as theories of how we were created, etc, I begun to think that the theory of creation, though a higher being ("a god"), seemed very far fetched. I just couldn't think of how one man could create all that there is in the Universe. It just seemed impossible. I don't say this much to people in the real world, because, well, most people don't like me doubting religion. Back on track though, what was here before "a god" created everything. There must have been something. Personally, I think humans think were special, and that we were put here for a reason. I think its a load of crap. I think people need to start realizing that the human race is not a special thing, put here by a man who loves us all. We are random. Random living things in the mass expanse of space. We are lucky to be here yes, but again we were lucky. Lucky that some living cell, bacteria, etc, crashed into the earth, while riding on a meteor, in its early years. But, while thinking of this, another thought came to my mind. There are MANY religions. There are different beliefs for each and every religion. Different gods rule each religion. Each religion has different groups of followers, whether it be race, color, or sex. I'm not dissing any religions, i'm not saying any are better then the other. But, which one is the CORRECT one. If people do in fact believe that there is a greater being, an ultimate creator, then which one is "the one". With so many gods, almost 1 for each of the MANY different religions on earth, one must be actually real. I would assume that each and every god could not all be real. They cold not all have created the Universe. I don't want to hear anything like, well sometimes believing helps in life. Whether what you believe in is real or not, it makes you stronger. That's not why i'm ranting about this, i'm here for the truth. Me like many others, I would assume, want to know if there is an actual ultimate creator out there. Maybe one day, everyone will find out. Maybe it will be for the better, maybe it will be for the worse.

Democratic Republic of Congo?

Well, I was doing homework the other day, and the news was on in the background, and that is when I heard that the European Union, was going to meet and possibly make plans to occupy Congo, because of the civil war. This is a good idea and all, attempting to get rid off the rebel groups, and maybe give some of the refugee's some of their life back. It seems to me though, that maybe entering Rwanda, or Uganda, would be a better idea. It seems that the genocide that has taken place in these areas, has not yet ended. And what about the child soldiers. Well, I guess Congo most likely also has them, but it seems that Rwanda has been in much greater need of an occupying foreign army for a longer period of time. From what i've heard, learned and have been told, nothing was done in an attempt to save the hundreds of thousands that were slaughtered here. Don't forget the millions still stuck in camps. Well, I guess not NOTHING, was done, peace keepers were sent to the region, but what can they do. They keep the peace, not make it, and when there was no peace to be kept, what good were they. Maybe the U.S would be better off helping Africa re-build, rather then destroying Iraq, and stealing it's oil. But if oil is the only reason they are there, then maybe they could move next door to Afghanistan and increase the U.S troop count there and to fight the true war on terrorism, along side the Canadians and many other foreign countries. Back on topic though, Congo is a place in great need of foreign help, I just think they shouldn't JUST focus on it.
