I am so fucking tired of White Guilt. White people can't be proud of anything. But if you are Brown, Red Blue, or Green, you can be proud of all your heritage.

Eh?  I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, but judging from this alone, you do not seem to understand the meaning of "white guilt."

White guilt is as fallacious as having pride in one's race, but in a negative way.  I, as a white person, am supposed to have some kind of guilt for actions which are not my own, but by a group of individuals in the past who belonged to the same racial group as I am a part of today?

The idea is that by being white, one benefits from the actions of these peoples in the past, thus there should be some collective guilt as they reap the rewards.  Combine this with the idea of white privilege, and you start seeing it being made to be more relevant in today's context and directly to the individual.

Despite whether it may be true or not, there is no reason to feel guilty for something one cannot control.  One cannot control their color of skin, one cannot control the position they were born in, and white privilege selectively ignores quite a few things, thus I'd say feeling guilty because you're white is as idiotic as feeling proud of being white, or any other race for that matter.

Pride of one's heritage and practicing Radical Nationalism is two diffrent things.

I think those of a White Background should be proud of their heritage no matter how bad it is.

Yes there have been bad times in the White history yet who can deny that all of our histories have seen nasty times.

Whites can be proud of their heritage. Being proud of their race is stupid. Same with anyone else of any color.

What about being proud of being European? That is the same thing as saying you are proud to be white.

Nope.

Proud to be European is fine. Its pretty specific about the history of europeans and their culture.

Proud to be white is stupid and lame. People define "white" so many different ways its too vague and gets everyone confused.

White is a grouping just as European is - the only difference is some retards don't know what "White" means.

Since it changes with everyone who talks about it then no wonder,  

The history of whites doesn't ring any bells to me. Too vague. And we saw that all whites defines white culture thier own way.
