|    It's a Wonderful Race (1/5)    |

      From: jesus475073@webtv.net              It's a Wonderful Race       by James Bronson               There once was a college freshman named George who thought he knew       it all. One night over dinner, George got into an argument with his       father. The argument began when the young student tried to explain to       his father that as White people, they should be held accountable for all       the evils that they had inflicted upon non-Whites throughout history.       George explained: "Because of European racism, we stole the Indians'       land, we held blacks in slavery, we persecuted the Jews, and we       plundered the environment. We've been oppressive racists for thousands       of years so it's only fair that we pay economic reparations for all the       harm we've done to the world. I'm pleased to see that we are ending our       political and economic domination of the oppressed peoples."              George's dad was shocked to hear such talk. "Who put such commie-pinko       nonsense into your head, boy? Did one of your sandal-wearing hippie       college professors teach you that?" the father asked.              To which the son replied: "That's the truth dad. My anthropology       professor, Dr.Irving Silverstein, says so. He ought to know. Dr.       Silverstein is a well-respected Ph.D. People of your generation just       don't understand because you were raised in a White supremacist racist       society. That's why I've come to admire Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King as       the greatest man in American history. He stood up to the racists of your       generation. Because of him, my generation of White kids is completely       colorblind."              The father angrily replied: "That's bullshit! I've always been       fair-minded and tolerant of people from all backgrounds and races. I       haven't 'oppressed' anybody, and furthermore there's nothing wrong with       being proud of one's own people, including the European race of people.       Your race is in your blood. It's like an extension of your biological       family and you ought to be proud of your European heritage and identity,       just like every other racial group in America is proud of its. Why is it       OK for them to have a strong sense of racial identity but it's evil for       us Europeans to feel that way?"              The young "intellectual" laughed at his father. "Come on dad, that's the       kind of crap Hitler tried to peddle. Those racist attitudes were       discredited years ago.       There's only one race and that's the human race. Diversity is our       greatest strength. Differences in so-called "race" are as insignificant       as differences in belly buttons. And besides, UN statistics now show       that low White birth rates, along with the fact that we live in an       multicultural society, will mean that Europeans and their ethnocentrist       and racist culture will have died out by the end of the century," young       George said.              Turning red with anger, the father yelled: "You are a walking cliché       you know that boy? And you think it's a good thing that the European       peoples of the world will have faded out and ceased to exist?" Young       George replied; "I think it's great! It will mean the end of racism and       the end of hate. The oppressed peoples of the world would have been       better off if us racist Europeans had never existed to begin with."              Suddenly there was a blast of cold wind, an explosion, and a huge smoke       cloud. When the smoke had settled, George found himself alone and lost       in a cold open field. An angel named Clarence then appeared to him and       said "Well George, you've got your wish."              George asked: "Where am I? What's going on here? And who are you?" The       angel answered, "George, I'm Clarence the Angel. I was sent here to show       you what the world would have been like if Europeans, or Whites, had       never existed. You now live in a world where Europeans never existed."              "Oh. That's cool. I'll have no problem adapting because there's not a       racist bone in my body. And when I get back to my world, I'll be able to       tell my professor and my friends how great this non-racist world was.       Say, I'm freezing my ass off out here. Where's the nearest motel?"       "Motel?" replied the angel. "There are no motels here in what was once       called North America. But there are some caves up in those mountains       where you can find shelter."              "Caves? No way man. I want a nice warm bed to sleep in."              "I don't think you understand George. There are no buildings here in       non-white America because the evil Europeans never came here to build       them. Whites never existed, remember? The natives live in tents. Would       you like to go meet some local Indians? Perhaps they'll let you stay in       a tent."              "A tent? But it's 10 degrees outside?...Oh well. It's better than a cave       I suppose. Let's go talk to these Indians...... Wait a second, are these       Indians friendly or hostile?"              "Why, George, that's a racist question to ask. Just because some Indians       were brutal savages who scalped their victims alive, it doesn't mean       they all were" said the angel sarcastically.              "I know that Clarence. And I'm not a racist. I hate racism. Nonetheless,       I'd feel safer if I could have a gun to defend myself if they turn out       to be violent."       "Gun?" replied the angel. "There are no guns for you to defend yourself       with. Firearms were invented by evil Europeans. Though we could make a       spear with those twigs over there."              "That's too much work. Give me a telephone then. I'll call the Indians       to ask if it's OK."              "Telephone"? replied the angel. There are no telephones here. Alexander       Graham Bell was another evil white man, so he never existed. No       Europeans remember?" "Forget it then" replied George. "I'll sleep in the       damn cave."               Upon arriving at the cave, a shivering George asked the angel for       a lighter so that he could light a fire. "A lighter?" replied Clarence.       "There are no lighters here, and no matches. Those are European gadgets       and evil Europeans never existed remember? If you want to get warm, you       need to do like the locals do and start rubbing twigs together."       "Oh come on man! You mean to tell me these people still rub sticks       together for fire?"              "That's right George. The Indians live exactly as they did before the       evil pilgrims arrived from Europe just a few centuries ago." said the       angel sarcastically.       "I refuse to stay in this cold cave and I damn sure ain't gonna light a       fire with twigs, and I refuse to sleep in a teepee. I'll go to South       America. I can make it in a warmer climate and I'll adapt quickly to the       great Incan civilization I learned about at college. Since European       racists like Columbus, Cortez and Pizzaro never existed, the Incans will       still be there.       .. I need a car"               "Car?" replied the angel. "There are no cars here. Daimler and       Benz, the evil German inventors of the internal combustion engine, were       never born..nor was Henry Ford. There are no paved roads either. This is       a world without evil Europeans remember?"              "No cars! Oh. I'll just have to take a train." "There are no trains in       this world either George. Evil Europeans weren't here to build              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
