There are White People Everywhere

There are white people everywhere. Have you noticed?

They cheer as President Bush talks about the "war on terror" because they want to believe lies that support their lifestyle and have constructed a false identity as "patriot". They fancy us as "liberators", which supports "our" feeling of superiority and gives "us" the right to rape, pillage and "liberate" at will.

They can't see that our country was founded on violence, a fact that is obvious to many others in the world, like Shaikh Abdul Salam al-Kubaisi of the Association of Muslim Scholars. At a demonstration outside Abu Ghuraib he called on National Guardsmen to rebel against the government of Iyad Allawi.

ArabNews writes that Kubaisi said that Allawi forgets that, "America is the one that slaughtered its native Americans and killed millions of Red Indians...America is the first to have made mass graves by bombing Hiroshima."

White people can't see themselves. They live in denial.

True Stories of White People

I saw a white person the other day. He was sitting in his airconditioned office as his workers suffered in the unbearable heat of their workplaces. No one questioned it.

I saw a white person the other day. She was driving her enormous SUV and hit a boy who rode his bike across her path. She continued on her way.

I saw a white person the other day. A social studies middle school teacher, whose organizational skills are exemplary. He has his students complete a meaningless handout each day.

I saw a white person the other day. She sat in a tiny upstairs room and waited for the time when the world would need her. But the world didn't need women yet.

Hidden ones, all over the country, come out and create. Leave your homes and your families. Drop your possessions. Walk to the edges of safety and beyond. Your life is already over. Your friends are now your enemies.
