Lie Pie Title: Michael Richards' defense speech:  Proud to be White
Lie Pie Classification: terror pie

Editor's Note:  Michael Richards never made remarks in court or anywhere else as claimed in the viral email below.  You can read more on this at Snopes.com and TruthOrFiction.com.

Honey, some folks tell me racism is dead.  I'm skeptical.  Mostly because those folks who insist on it are all white and don't appear to have any black friends.  And as certain as they are that racism is dead, they are even more convinced that reverse discrimination and its evil cousin "political correctness" are sending America straight down the tubes.  Personally, I don't find that being white is a cruel yoke by any stretch.  And all this fuss about "political correctness."  Call it whatever you want, honey, I call it "having manners."  The viral email below is a shameful load of B.S. from someone who spends too much time in his own moccasins.  --Granny, 4/10/09

Proud to be white nd YES  I AM!!

This is great.. I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is.....

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, AsianAmericans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans.  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 wouldcall 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!
