Has anyone ever noticed how white ppl have extended their whiteness to many non-white group? For instance, Asians and Hispanics. Whites have given these other ethnic groups honorary status. It seems that whiteness is not even a race anymore but a state of mind.

One group of ppl that white ppl have extended their whiteness to is Asians. Studies have shown that 22% of all Asian women have white husbands. Interracial couples between white men and Asian women have more children than regular Asian couples in this country. Asians now are the closest group to whites economically. I live in SoCal and Asians where they say that Asians now dominate the U.C system.

The next ethnic group is Hispanics. In many states where Hispanics are now the largest minority they are considering giving illegals special rights that should only be afforded to citizens. Take for instance drivers licenses. Many states are now considering giving drivers licenses to illegals. That is a crime and many of the lawmakers know this, that is why it is such a hot button issue. But, in states that have a large minority population and with many of them Hispanic these states usually vote democratic in elections. I think that now republicans want the Hispanic vote to counteract the largest African American democratic vote. Now imagine them legalizing a crime that is closely associated with blacks. Many legal forms now ask Hispanics to mark boxes that are reserved for whites. And many of those forms now Hispanics to mark that box fully knowing that their are many Hispanics of African descent.

They have even tried to extend their whiteness to some blacks. Many blacks who are of mixed heritage now have the liberty of being called Bi-racial. Because, anything is better than being known as black. In many countries outside of the U.S for example(Canada,Europe,the Carribean,and South America), blacks of mixed heritage can freely call themselves mixed race. And it is a well-known fact in many of those countries ppl of mixed race have better economic opportunities, and face less racism than regular black ppl. In Brazil which is one of the most colorist countries in the world, a man/woman who is as dark as Wesley Snipes or Whoopi Goldberg, but who has straight hair can legally have his/her race changed from black to white, and no one bats an eye. That is of course they make a certain amount of money.

The sooner we as black ppl reject white supremacy we will be able to see beyond this thin veneer of racial equality that whites have set up. We as black ppl need to learn that racism in this country will not go away. So what if they are trying to extend their there supercial whiteness on to these other ethnic groups. We as black ppl are a mighty race, and we can crush all of our enemies white and non-white. That is why we are the most feared and hated ppl on earth.

Well first of all, Black people need to stop being the KKK's best friend by being racist to their own.

I cannot help what goes on in other parts of the world.

It just shows that we still have a lot of work to do and had better be prepared to do it.

Have your children learn other languages and expose them to other cultures.

Blacks have status in this country, but still very little power.

Everyone see's the handwriting on the wall. Next?

And of course anybody who doesn't conform to the ultra-partisan, counter-productive views that are the glue that holds the brittle chrishadyen together, is conveniently labeled an uncle tom by him. This keeps his narrow little world from shattering. LOL

Colorism is a problem in all COMMUNITIES. I believe its even WORST in non-BLACK communities. I too have noticed how every people around the globe have all attempted to look WHITE if not be White!

Take for example the so call "Anglo Indians" of India.

"White" Hispanics

The "honorary Whites" Asians love to be, etc, etc

Its crazy!

Serenasailor has it right: "We as black ppl need to learn that racism in this country will not go away. So what if they are trying to extend their there supercial whiteness on to these other ethnic groups. We as black ppl are a mighty race, and we can crush all of our enemies white and non-white. That is why we are the most feared and hated ppl on earth. "

Uncle Tom's need to be slapped down like the traitor bitches they are!
