PRIDE IS NOT RACIST

i am so SICK of people treating me like a racist just because I think whiteness is sacred and absolutely worth protecting.

i mean will you please LOOK at our HISTORY? look at the countless white writers, painters, scientists who've made such incredible contributions to the world. now look at what say black people have done. SWEET FUCK ALL.

we absolutely need to acknowledge that white people have the intelligence, creativity and discipline that other races don't have. if we don't accept this truth and stop breeding with others, then what will become of the world?

it's completely irresponsible not to take pride in being white.

That makes you, as per the definition you posted, a racist.

So stop bitching.

I'm white from Germany - so what?  I'm proud my ancestors grew up where they did?  Why.  I'm proud of German culture - why - I had nothing to do with it.

Be proud of what you accomplish, what you stand for, your ability.  Being proud of things like how much or little melanin you produce or what people you've never met have done is pointless.

It is idiotic to either hate or be proud of a condition that
1. Cannot be changed
2. Is inherent
3. You had nothing to do with.

wait... thats supposed to prove you're not racist?

He is racist, he'll admit it. But just because he's racist and has pride doesn't mean they are the same.

You're right...racial pride isn't racist. It's stupid.

Explain.

I simply think that having pride in something you have no control or say over is pointless. How can you put such value into something you had no part of? Racial pride is simply something people use when they have nothing to bring to the table as individuals. The modern day bigots want to be worshipped for something they didn't do.

That is stupid.

Jazzy Jeff, YOU must accept one of two conclusions:
1. There is nothing wrong with taking pride in things beyond one's control.
2. No one should be proud of anything.

(Because writing a novel doesn't require hard-work and dedication. It's all about the "writing" gene.

Because someone with the "chubby" gene doesn't work his ass off to bring his weight down. It's all in his genes making him persistant in the way he eats and maintains his diet.

Each of these examples are different from being an ethnicity...they were done by choice. You don't choose to be black. You don't choose to be white.)

Funny how white people love to tell blacks to stop dwelling in the past and throwing the weight of guilt down on whites for the murders, lies, and exploitation since they were not the ones who suffered. Yet you want us all to personally acknowledge yourselves for the accomplishments of people in the past who happened to be white that weren't yourselves. You're just another white teenager whose grown insensitive to people different from you and need a way to feel important.

There's more to the world than white, white, white, white, and more white. The more you surround yourself with the people who don't realize that, the more you wont either. Jesus...

That logic is so half-assed and you know it.

You see, I am proud to be White. Hispanics are proud to be Hispanic.
One is accepted, the other isn't.

The world should be fair with everyone treated equally - this has yet to happen.
