I wish I were....
Tell me, should I encourage my nephews to call me a cracker? Is that their birth-right? Should I teach them they are better than me solely because they were born a different colour? Or would it be better to teach them that I am their uncle, a human being and deserving of the same respect regardless of my skin colour?
Which do you think is the better lesson? Which do you think would produce a fair-minded, decent human being?
If you haven't a decent answer feel free to shut the fuck up.
Well I don't actually use that word, I generally just speak against the general hateful attitude of the Western Caucasians. Their birth right is to assert their own will in not being subservient like the Right (now I have seen the Left is joining them) wants them to be.
Well do you actively seek to suppress their culture? Deport them? Disenfranchise them? I'm guessing the answer to all those questions is no.
See the thing about making bigoted comments as I did to Mockingbird allows for quite a few exceptions. They would not generally be bigoted if there were not quite a few exceptions to the stereotype...it's what makes them bigoted, using the stereotype and a small cross-section to fit a whole segment of a society.
From what I have seen dealing with white people, it's not their color that is the issue...it is their years of building their society upon oppression and destruction of other cultures.

Kissing is not sex.

So praying during recess is OK with you? That way, students who don't want to do so can hang out with their friends instead. I'd actually think Atheists would like this seeing as how it would keep many kids from praying so they could play with their friends instead.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
