OK HERE IT IS , HOPE NO ONE GETS OFFENDED BY THIS, IT WAS SENT TO ME VIA EMAIL, THEN AFTER SOMEONE POINTED OUT TO ME IT WAS A FALSE QUOTE I REMOVED IT BUT, THROUGH A REQUEST I AM REPOSTING. Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:
I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except
numbers. The
only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things
like
the United
Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and
Miss
Black
America. Try to have things like the UnitedCaucasianCollege Fund, Cloud
Magazine,
White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what
happens...Jesse
Jackson will be knocking down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You
can
kill
someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you
from
driving
to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why
there
are no
girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING
MARTHA
BURKE?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it
is
an opinion.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are
different, weird,
or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70%
of the
population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of
Probability.
I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes,
a
newspaper
or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you
want to be
an American citizen, you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the
countries you were
born in to come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if
you
threaten
them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word
"freeze" or
"stop" in English, see the above lines.
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are
qualified for
any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax
breaks,
etc., so
you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other
business.
We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our
lives
in wars to
defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here
and
tell us
our constitution is a living document; and open to their
interpretations.
I don't hate the rich; I don't pity the poor.
I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That
doesn't stop
you from watching them.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and
continue to make
more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system
that's
better,
and put your name on the building.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does
take a
parent to
stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and
say "NO!"
I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please
don't
pretend
they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new
lip
ring
heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me
French
fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and
not a single
one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"?
Besides,
Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a
European-American
because my
great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I
am
proud to
be from America and nowhere else
And if you don't like my point of view, tough...
