Racism..............

WEST BARNSTABLE – “I’m racist,” Elenita Muñiz told a crowd gathered at Cape Cod Community College on Tuesday. Muniz, coordinator of the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission, said she took an online quiz, showing that even she, a blue-eyed Puerto Rican and human rights advocate, harbors racist views.
Muniz served on a panel to observe national Human Rights Day, which is today. The discussion focused on the shooting death of Michael Brown, 18, an unarmed black man killed by Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9 in Ferguson, Missouri, and similar national incidents. Wilson, who resigned from the police force after a grand jury did not indict him, fired 12 shots at Brown.
Besides Muniz, panelists were Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe; Mashpee Police Chief Rodney Collins; John Reed, past president of the Cape’s chapter of the NAACP and chairman of the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission; and Keith Clarke of Concerned Black Men of Cape Cod.
“Racism is alive and well in this country and everyone who is white-skinned is racist,” Muniz said. “The bottom line is, just as men are responsible for ending sexism ... only white people can end racism and we need to work on that. It is very hard to acknowledge our privilege.”

Dear Sir or Madam: I was very disappointed with the quote attributed to Elenita Muniz, coordinator of the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission in today’s Cape Cod Times.
“Racism is alive and well in this country and everyone who is white-skinned is racist,” Muniz said. “The bottom line is, just as men are responsible for ending sexism ... only white people can end racism and we need to work on that. It is very hard to acknowledge our privilege.” -
Well, as someone with white skin I am disgusted that someone with these views is allowed to serve with the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission. Would she be allowed to keep her job if she had said such an outrageous and offensive thing about another race? I think not. Ms. Muniz should be investigated for hate speech and terminated from her job as surely her racism prevents her being impartial. At the very least, she should be sent for sensitivity training.
“everyone who is white-skinned is racist”
Don’t they teach irony anymore?
Apparently not - this woman took a class in “morony”
It doesn’t apply to me because I self-identify as a black lesbian.
How many white people have been president of the NAACP?
They’re an organization that says race shouldn’t matter.
How many Hispanic?
How many Asian?
And they want to lecture everyone else about racism?
You must be persecuted twice as much as a white straight woman, three times as much as a black straight woman and four times as much as a white lesbian. Did I get my math right? lol
Agreed.
o/~ Ooooooooooooh...
I’m a racist

Just curious.
You are an idiot and an apologist for racism. I can take you into quite a few neighborhoods in California where there are no blacks. None at all. And the people there will tell you they keep blacks out. And guess what idiot, they are not white. Racists come in every color. Yes these great immigrants you want in this country, well quite a few of them are racist. They come from very racist countries. Countries that have almost no diversity at all. You are a fool and an apologist for these racist.
Looks like the left wants to change every law in the books and change this nation in to a third world country.
I don’t know. I flunked Trickmeoutofme.
All this stuff about “white privilege,” “only whites can be racist,” etc., is whipping up hatred against whites. I see it everywhere. This must be fought, tooth and nail, if we care anything about our children and grandchildren, and what it will be like for them as minorities in this country.
What they’re wanting to do is to use force to make their worldview “work”.
Their worldview can’t work, because reality was created specifically so it would fail.
They hate that.
Great point.
Racism..............
Well, aren't you just the little trooper, right?
Nutjobs playing the "top my white guilt" game?
Typical liberals, all jumping in on the latest trendy victim status.
.
Well since the "gentle giant" was trying to wrestle the officer's gun away from him, I suspect that the officer wasn't thinking so much about race as fearing for his life.
