Proud To Be White (And it's long over-due.)
Ran across this...thought I would share it and get your feedback
Proud To Be White (And it's long over-due.)
Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans,
Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans,
Arab Americans,
Native Americans, etc.
...And then there are just -
Americans.
You pass me on the street
and sneer in my direction.
You Call me "White boy,"
"Cracker," "Honkey,"
"Whitey," "Caveman,"
... And that's OK.
But when I call you the N word,
Kike, Towel head,
Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey,
Beaner, Gook, or Chink
... You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot
of violence against you,
so why are the ghettos the most
dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You Have Yom Hashoah.
You have the NAACP.
And you have BET.
If we had WET
(White Entertainment Television)
... We'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day
... You would call us racists.
If we had White History Month
... We'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites
to "advance" OUR lives
... We'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,
a Black Chamber of Commerce,
and then we just have the plain
Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
If we had a college fund that only gave
white students scholarships
... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly-proclaimed
Black-only Colleges in the US ,
yet if there were "White-only Colleges"
... THAT would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March,
you believed that you were
marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights,
... You would call us racists.

I mean all things equal this would be a nice little piece of work... that is, if all things were equal
Just to give example the new stats are out that 2/3rds of crack smokers are white, yet 80% of arrests for crack are black. I mean if I was practically guaranteed an easier ride because of my race maybe I wouldn't be PROUD to be my race I would just be happy I wasn't one of the other ones! They did that study with white kids about racism; the kids denied that there was racism or that they were racist, but when asked how much money they would have to be given to be a minority in a fictional land, they said they would have to be given large sums of money.
There are countless numbers of whites out there that are perfectly happy and proud to be white. The thing is, they don't need to say it because they can see what it means to be white pretty easily. Statistics show even with diversity campaigns whites still prefer white schools and most of America goes to schools that is 80% or more white. Whites still are not convicted and sentenced with the ruthlessness of blacks and latinos. Put it simple, everyday is White Day - DUH. So the blacks and latinos have their single days of celebration and have their marches or whatever. LOL, every other day is a white interest holiday as far as they are the majority of this country. GTFOH All this white oppression business is pretty ungrounded in reality.

Yeah and there are "St. Patrick's Day Parade" for Irish Americans, "San Genarro Festival" for Italian Americans, "Columbus Day", "July 4th" - White Americans celebrating freedom from the British, Fox News, the White House, Congress, Homeowner's Associations, Banks, Wall Street, the stock market, Blackwater, pretty much everything else besides the few things mentioned above!

No, you'd be racist if you were still supporting outright denial of access to higher education for minorities. That's what those scholarships are for in the first place.

If white people have all the power in America why don't us "minorities" try to change that.KINGFEAR62 wrote:White people have all the power in america what else do they want
Like going to college so we can get those high paying jobs.
Or doing more for our communities then "holding down the block"
We should also stop killing each other and going to jail for life just cuz somebody got dissed.
basically
If we stop doing dumb shit maybe we would have less obstacles to get pass in life.

Blacks are known as "African-American" because they don't know their ethnic heritage because of slavery.
How many blacks do you know that know specifically where in Africa they originate from?

Christina asks: "Ghost, why are the words white pride racist?"
Good question Christina, I'll answer for you. Because 98% of the time, people who preach "White Pride" are doing it to spread racism and hate. As evidenced by that list.
98% of the time when blacks preach "Black Pride" it's to feel good about themselves and work to making things better for blacks. And NOT to teach hate. (See black panthers)
Christina asks: "But Ghost, that's not true the black panthers were racist!"
Actually Christina they weren't. Whites sat in on Black Panther speeches and were never harmed, they were accepted. Whites worked in the offices of the black panthers helping to organize things and print newsletters etc... If they were truly racist then those whites would not have been allowed even in the building.
Any more questions Christina?

I'm not sure where you get your percentages from but it irritates me when people attach percentages onto statements and try to pass them off as facts. My wife does it all the time. Drives me up the wall. Anyways, as far as the whole white pride black pride thing goes as I've stated before those words SHOULDN'T be used as racists, likewise Black pride should be about being proud and anyone claiming otherwise is making up their own reason for "black pride". I won't argue that a majority of people use the term White Pride with a racist agenda in mind but that's not what white pride SHOULD be about. Pride is about being proud of something, not holding that something over someone else. That's the fault of the person not the term White Pride. Like the symbols of swastikas and maltese crosses. So many people have tried to change what they're meant for but a select educated few know what they really mean.A Ghost wrote:Christina asks: "Ghost, why are the words white pride racist?"

I don't agree with the list posted mind you. I think some of it is seriously flawed and the author is misguided. I do find it funny how someone literally copy and pastes it asking for peoples thoughts and a handful of people think Christina is the author and should some how answer for it. I don't believe she wrote it and it seems to be the purpose was for discussion, mission accomplished. I don't think your anger should be directed towards her.

You really have NO business putting words in my mouth. Sorry to get you all flustered. And yes I AM white and yes I feel there is some truth to this. There are alot of double standards and its straight BS. Does this mean I am racist? You will draw your own conclusions (OBVIOUSLY). Seems though that the truth bothers you a bit or you wouldnt be so defensive.

I agree that there are double standards and I dont think that they are persay "right" but they are justifiable in some cases. I look at it like this, the reason all of those things exist in that "free expression writing" is that minorities were denied so many rights and set so far behind that thats society's way of giving a little.
Im with AGhost on the MLK day...thats funny. If it was a white man doing the same things that he did, he would have a day too.

That i am being confident with being a (white) german, doesnt mean that i think i am better than anyone else. Yes i take pride in that, for all my family and all the sacrifices they made for my country.
And i also see that blacks have gone through A LOT of suffering and still are these days. No doubt. But to blame it all on the white man, everything that is going wrong is 100% BS and irresponsible. Black people need to take responsibility for their own issues and if they feel they are being held down, they need to take what they want, fight and still keep the common sense.
Many american blacks, as far as i understood it, are seeing conspiracies by the white man everywhere, when they need to understand that the key for change is within themselves.
White people in Europe also struggled hard for the freedom they have now and no gifts were handed out and a lot of blood was shed.
So for me being proud of my heritage means, i respect my roots and my people, but so i do respect everyone else, no matter where they are from, but i hold my flag up high, no matter where i go.
For everyone (white, black, yellow etc.) who interprets pride as hating other people, i say fuck them.

I too know what my ancestors went through. I know about their struggle and their plans of peace and working hard and being left alone more or less. I know what they suffered at the hands of various governments, I know they were pushed around and beaten and battered. I know they escaped Europe to make a better life for themselves and future generations. I respect that, and I'm thankful for that. I would never put them under a heading of "white" because they were people and there was more to them then just their skin colour. Likewise with Africans who were forced over to America. To label it as simplistic as "black" people is an insult to them and their heritage.Sentenza wrote:That i am being confident with being a (white) german, doesnt mean that i think i am better than anyone else.

Though you being proud of being German just blows me away. Which part of being German are you most proud of? Starting WWI or starting WWII? Perhaps the Berlin Wall?? HUH!? Insane I say! But seriously, this is how most of the world views people who simply say "I'm proud of being white" because it's always taking the negative aspects of "white" people and saying "Oh you most be proud to be a part of THAT!". There's nothing wrong with knowing your linage and being respectful of it, provided you're not a descendant of Hitler.....you're not right?

Oh lol, dont get me started. I like Marx, Nietzsche, Goethe, Mozart, Einstein, Hegel and so on. Fuck Hitler and his stupid attitude and fuck all who followed him and fuck the attitude that started that started WW1. I prefer to think of Germany as the country of thinkers and poets.EmperorPenguin wrote:Sentenza wrote:That i am being confident with being a (white) german, doesnt mean that i think i am better than anyone else.

I am aware of the dark ages of German history and i am not proud of it. It was a damn shame. And still i am proud of my heritage and what my family accomplished in this country. They were disowned, raped, killed and still kept going and made something out of it.
Like i said, those are my rooots, but i dont put myself above anyone. We are all humans.

Good question Christina, I'll answer for you. Because 98% of the time, people who preach "White Pride" are doing it to spread racism and hate. As evidenced by that list.
98% of the time when blacks preach "Black Pride" it's to feel good about themselves and work to making things better for blacks. And NOT to teach hate. (See black panthers)
Christina asks: "But Ghost, that's not true the black panthers were racist!"
Actually Christina they weren't. Whites sat in on Black Panther speeches and were never harmed, they were accepted. Whites worked in the offices of the black panthers helping to organize things and print newsletters etc... If they were truly racist then those whites would not have been allowed even in the building.
Any more questions Christina?
I don't agree with the list posted mind you. I think some of it is seriously flawed and the author is misguided. I do find it funny how someone literally copy and pastes it asking for peoples thoughts and a handful of people think Christina is the author and should some how answer for it. I don't believe she wrote it and it seems to be the purpose was for discussion, mission accomplished. I don't think your anger should be directed towards her.

They name SCHOOLS after White Organized crime members, MURDERERS!LcBwC wrote: Im with AGhost on the MLK day...thats funny. If it was a white man doing the same things that he did, he would have a day too.
Yet a black civil rights leader who never even hurt a fly can't get a STREET named after him????

It's like training literature for the KKK and I proved it ALL wrong.
Nothing personal against you, but that list has more errors and contradictions than the bible...

They don't walk around saying "Man oh man I'm proud to be white"
They said "I'm a proud Italiano. Or, I'm proud of my Irish/Polish heritage" etc...
Just like what Senteza said, he's proud to be German.
Blacks are proud to be black, because they don't know if they're Rwandan, Somalian, Ethiopian etc...
At least a lot don't....

Re: Proud To Be White (And it's long over-due.)
"You still wouldn't trade places with me" -Chris Rock.Proud To Be White (And it's long over-due.)
Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans,
Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans,
Arab Americans,
Native Americans, etc.
...And then there are just -
Americans.
You pass me on the street
and sneer in my direction.
You Call me "White boy,"
"Cracker," "Honkey,"
"Whitey," "Caveman,"
... And that's OK.
But when I call you the N word,
Kike, Towel head,
Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey,
Beaner, Gook, or Chink
... You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot
of violence against you,
so why are the ghettos the most
dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You Have Yom Hashoah.
You have the NAACP.
And you have BET.
If we had WET
(White Entertainment Television)
... We'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day
... You would call us racists.
If we had White History Month
... We'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites
to "advance" OUR lives
... We'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,
a Black Chamber of Commerce,
and then we just have the plain
Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
If we had a college fund that only gave
white students scholarships
... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly-proclaimed
Black-only Colleges in the US ,
yet if there were "White-only Colleges"
... THAT would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March,
you believed that you were
marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights,
... You would call us racists.

You can celebrate White History Month any time you want to. The rest of the country is. Go to any school today and do you think they're studying Malcom X?Christina Marie wrote:yes I AM white and yes I feel there is some truth to this. There are alot of double standards and its straight BS.

a) you post an article promoting white pride
b) you yourself can't seem to just say, clearly, that you're not a racist. Your only answer to the question is for us to draw our own conclusions. That's disturbing.
Well, based on what I've read so far, my conclusion is drawn, per your insistence. I think you do harbor some racist feelings, and that it dictates at least some decisions that you make in your life. Nothing else would explain this thread, and your defense of the essay.
Seems though that the truth bothers you a bit or you wouldnt be so defensive.
This thread being started to begin with is a pretty clear indication that you're the one bothered by the truth. Most people here are perfectly fine with the double standards pointed out in the essay. Out of all double standards in this country, those are the few that go in favor of minorities. And, note that they don't include privileges having anything to do with wealth, land ownership, or the benefit of the doubt from law enforcement. Blacks have BET and Black History Month. The vast majority of whites can live their entire lives without ever being halted by a peace officer. What would you rather have?

I think a part of that is a failure to even attempt to look into it. It may not me cheap but in Africa they have on record all the slave trading books where they kept names of people who arrived to be sold to America. They usually listed their given name, followed by their new Christian name and in most cases the area in which they were stolen from. The cases in which they didn't list where they were stolen from their birth name usually gave good indications as to where their tribes were from. In some cases they didn't have a birth name listed. Those cases are hard to track down, but that's where simple DNA tests come in. They may not be 100% either but they can give you some idea of where in Africa a person might be from. Like I said, it's not cheap on any level but the information is out there for those who want to find it. I think it most cases some people just find it easier to say "African" then to try to find out, and then there's those cases where people DO find out and they come to find out that their roots aren't what they thought or hoped for.A Ghost wrote:You didn't read what I wrote.EmperorPenguin wrote:I would never put them under a heading of "white" because they were people and there was more to them then just their skin color.

Like I said, a good portion of the information is there, it's just doing the leg work to find out. I wasn't handed my family tree. I had to dig and dig. Luckily it wasn't costly but it was very time consuming. Likewise, up here we get a lot of people claiming "native pride" the trouble is there are hundreds of hundreds of different tribes and so many of them differ from each other that to simply pass it off as "native pride" is an insult to their heritage. Do the research. It's all out there, it just takes time and sometimes money but if you're really "proud" of your ancestory then do them a favor and make sure you know what you're being "proud" of.

I didn't see her DEFENDING the article, only her reasons for posting it. I think she stated clearly in her first post was to discuss the list and to give some feedback. I don't see anything wrong with that. At least we're all having a relatively civil conversation. I find it sad that by posting a "white pride" article and asking for feedback automatically makes one a racist. I think that's poor association.StillNoScript wrote:Probably becauseChristina Marie wrote:Does this mean I am racist? You will draw your own conclusions (OBVIOUSLY).
