Dear Whiny White People: Great rant from a Native American Facebook friend

[4Q2u2]

280. That is my Point

That African Americans were incorrectly and negatively defined by White people, and it was not proper then and is not proper now.
It is right and proper that you fight that fight. Then how can it wrong when I fight not to be called a cracker, since I am not one, never have been, and never will be. It is an improper and negative stereotype that all White people harbor ill will to African Americans and pro-actively work to denigrate and stifle the African American race.

The saddest part of your story is those stupid Klansman let race blind them so badly. If you were to list your Grandfather's accomplishments on paper without a trace of what his heritage was, they would look at it and know it is the classic American success story.
Good and Honorable Service to his Country in Armed Conflict. Pulling up his boot straps and working his ass off for his little piece of the world to raise his family. Protecting all that he had with everything that he had. That is the greatness of simple men of all races in this country that is not told. Just because of his race those idiots were blinded to even their own ideology of a good American.
You do not have to tell me what they were shouting. We are unfortunately all to aware of what hatred and venom was (is) spewed at African Americans in this country.

When I ask you not to call me Cracker it is not because I am trying to hide some hidden agenda. It is because it is not true.
As we are both Combat Vets, we both know that you return fire after you have located the enemy firing at you. I am not firing at you, but calling me cracker is mistakenly thinking I am.

As we also both know, we have served with all kinds of races and put our asses and lives in their hands. Seen the best of them and sometimes the worst. I like to think I showed my best. That is how I would like to be defined.
