I just don't like how we bend over backwards while suckin a dick to please immigrants.  

You don't...that's just an overexaggerated excuse to victimize yourself.


No, thats the current policy of Western style Countries atm. Bend over with dick in mouth to please the immigrants. For a quick example i'd call saying that the new spanish speaking immigrants not needing to learn english and instead removing French, Latin, German, Italian language classes to have more spanish ones.  Replacing almost anything so that it has both English and Spanish. Apparently in this new world its ok to let the old guards heritage decay while stoking the fires of the new immigrants to get more of them.

  You do realize that all of our ancestors are immigrants from other countries, right?


You do realize those immigrants where here for a good long time working their asses off contributing more in one year then the new immigrants do in their entire time here right?  Granted, America was built on immigration. But im tired of new age immigrants waving flags of their old country and refusing to speak English when so many other immigrants from Asia/Europe tried to learn it almost immediately.

What a terrible generalization. I agree that there are plenty of immigrants that don't speak English, are here illegally, etc. but you're overlooking many, many people. There are plenty of hardworking immigrants who are here legally and who bust their asses to learn English.

I personally know many of them, and am aware enough to know that they exist in all parts of the country. You have tunnel vision when it comes to immigrants...


Im more then aware they exist, its just the sad part is the majority just doesn't care and continue with what their doing....which is the exact opposite of what old European style immigrants did. In the long run it'll take longer for this new generation to get situated and the results won't be as fruitful.

Well I mean...you don't agree with it. Whatever?

These things happened not out of force they happened out of consent. That is not bending over and taking spunk to the mouth. And if it is...white people are not just victims of this. White people are not just full Americans, I consider myself full American even though it is popular to classify blacks as African American as a euphemism to say they are not 100% American.

So what you're saying isn't really relevant to this topic since we're talking about white pride and you're more interested as to how whites are stepped on so much. Though I'm not a fan of spanish either...

It's not that you can't have white pride...it's just that there's too many negative connotations linked with it. Nobody can take away the fact that you are proud to be white unless you let them...it's not like it's a fucking tangible object. Take into consideration the fact that white pride has been associated with the Nazi movement, the KKK, and various other hate organizations in the mainstream...so when one says "White Pride" it is viewed as an act of racism. When black people say Black Power it is viewed as an act of expression that they are content with who they are when people criticize them for it and overcoming challenges faced with being black.

I agree largely with that, although that doesn't make the double standard "right."  You're right in that nobody is stopping whites from being proud of their race, but that doesn't mean that they're not looked down upon if they are, whereas minorities are not for the reasons you've given, which is rather silly because in those examples, it should be seen that having pride in any race results in that, not just having pride in the white race.


Most people who bitch about not being able to have "white pride" are even bigots themselves....therefore hindering any type of change the term White Pride can have to morph into a more positive meaning. So when you go off about how white people can't have pride or their own month ya-la-la because "these niggers perpetuate double standards I wish they'd all burn in hell etc etc"...realize you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

Oh that's certainly not always the case.  It tends to be among white nationalists who attempt to paint the whole thing as if all non-whites are united against them in some coherent "body" or organization (which you must remember is expressed that way so that it encourages whites to become white nationalists), but for a lot of people such as myself, I merely wish to see some consistency.


I personally don't see why people need to have pride in their ethnicity first and foremost before having pride in their individual selves. Both concepts are ridiculous especially in this day and age.

Agreed.  I never understood the point of having any real pride in my race and the accomplishments of other members of my race.  My "worth" is not based on my race, but rather, based on my own individual accomplishments and experiences, and hence why I'll refer to that when defining myself far more than any race that I may be a part of.  Any kind of racial nationalist would do well to remember that.

Hmm, interesting. Though I guess I've never felt the need to be proud of being white. What is there to be proud of, after all? What's the point on having pride in your skin color? Be proud of yourself for other, actual important reasons.
There is no reason to be proud of skin. You race, on the other hand, is different.

I can't disagree with what you said and I just want to say that, as you allude to, "White Pride" has nothing to do with pride. It is a euphemism for racism by some white people (who might be surprised if they went back in their own geneology!).  

 If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. If someone uses the phrase "white pride" it means white originated racism.  

 Period.


I share that personal opinion with you but I know people like whoisabs will just clusterfuck my post if I shared that in the OP.


Are you sure that being proud to be white automatically makes you racist JUST because, in the past, pride has been directly linked to racism?


You do realize those immigrants where here for a good long time working their asses off contributing more in one year then the new immigrants do in their entire time here right?
That's a lie.

Nationwide, 33 percent of Third World immigrants who settled in the USA since 1990, live in poverty, nearly three times the rate for US-born natives. Some 36 percent of immigrants failed to finish high school, more than double the percentage for US-born nationals. About 15 percent of US citizens fall below the poverty line, compared to 29 percent of non-citizens. About 11 percent of non-citizens have incomes less than 50 percent of the poverty line, compared to six percent of citizens.
The number of impoverished people in the USA's immigrant-headed households nearly tripled from 2.7 million in 1979 to 7.7 million in 1997.During that same period, the number of poor households headed by immigrants increased by 123 percent while the number of immigrant households increased by 68 percent.
Third World population elements continue to experience higher poverty rates than Whites in the USA. According to the US Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, March 2001, some 22.1 percent of Blacks were below the official poverty line. This compares with 21.2 percent of Hispanics; 10.8 percent of Asians and Pacific Islanders; and 7.5 percent of White non-Hispanics.

Racists aren't hard to spot and all of the white nationalists and people who claim they'd sell their souls to "preserve" the white race that I have met have been racist. It's crucifixtion to call anyone a bigot on this site, but I don't consider myself an idiot when people spew racial undertones but plead innocent for rep control. There are few and beyond that are actually "zealous" for the well-being of the white community IMO...the rest just simply don't want to be around others different from them and this is there way of saying it without appearing hateful. How strong would one have to truly care for something that has absolutely nothing to do with them or their future to not want to be around blacks, hispanics, etc etc. if they had no resentment for them in the first place?

On immigrant contribution


Immigrants Work Hard and Pay Taxes
According to Department of Commerce statistics, foreign-born workers represent 13 percent of all U.S. workers, and 20 percent of all service workers in the U.S. Source: National Immigration Forum, 2005; American Immigration Law Foundation, 2005

Over the past twenty years, immigration has contributed to more than 25 percent of the nation's labor force growth. Source: American Immigration Law Foundation, Spring 2002

Immigrant households and businesses provide more than $162 billion in direct taxes to federal, state, and local governments each year. Source: American Immigration Law Foundation, Spring 2002

Immigrants will contribute nearly $500 billion to the Social Security system from 1998-2022 and nearly $2 trillion through 2072. Source: National Immigration Forum, 2005


Immigrants Are Essential to Our Economy and Our Communities

Undocumented immigrants contribute at least $300 billion to the U.S. gross national product annually. Source: "Comprehensive Migration Policy Reform in North America: The Key to Sustainable and Equitable Economic Integration," (University of California, Los Angeles), August 29, 2001

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the U.S. will have a shortage of 10 million workers by the year 2006. Source: The Herald-Sun (Durham, N.C.), July 25, 2001

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan testified before Congress that immigration offers a viable solution to the threat that this shortage poses to our continuous economic growth and prosperity. Source: The Herald-Sun (Durham, N.C.), July 25, 2001

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 48 percent of all job openings between 2002 and 2012 will be held by workers with a high school diploma or less education. Given that less than 13 percent of native-born adults lacked a high school diploma in 2003, compared to more than 32 percent of the foreign born, America will rely on immigrants to fill most of these jobs. Source: Immigration Policy Center, July 2005

Each new immigrant generates a positive contribution to the country of roughly $1800. Source: American Immigration Law Foundation, Spring 2002

The purchasing power of the Latino community has grown to nearly $700 billion and is expected to reach up to $1 trillion by 2007. The Asian community's purchasing power stands at more than $250 billion. Source: United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, 2005; Georgia Business and Economic Conditions, July-August 2000

General Points

Immigrants are a critical part of the U.S. workforce and contribute to productivity
growth and technological advancement. They make up 15% of all workers and even larger
shares of certain occupations such as construction, food services and health care.
Approximately 40% of Ph.D. scientists working in the United States were born abroad.
(Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics; American Community Survey)

Many immigrants are entrepreneurs. The Kauffman Foundation's index of
entrepreneurial activity is nearly 40% higher for immigrants than for natives. (Source:
Kauffman Foundation)

Immigrants and their children assimilate into U.S. culture. For example, although 72%
of first-generation Latino immigrants use Spanish as their predominant language, only 7% of
the second generation are Spanish-dominant. (Source: Pew Hispanic Center/Kaiser Family
Foundation)

Immigrants have lower crime rates than natives. Among men aged 18 to 40, immigrants
are much less likely to be incarcerated than natives.
(Source: Butcher and Piehl)

Immigrants slightly improve the solvency of pay-as-you-go entitlement programs such
as Social Security and Medicare. The 2007 OASDI Trustees Report indicates that an
additional 100,000 net immigrants per year would increase the long-range actuarial balance
by about 0.07% of taxable payroll. (Source: Social Security Administration)

The long-run impact of immigration on public budgets is likely to be positive.

Projections of future taxes and government spending are subject to uncertainty, but a careful
study published by the National Research Council estimated that immigrants and their
descendants would contribute about $80,000 more in taxes (in 1996 dollars) than they would
receive
in public services.

Taking into consideration the accomplishments of the white race (an exclusive term pertinent solely to those of Northern European origin), they have the right not only to be proud of their identity, but to elevate themselves above other peoples who have been far less productive.

A person of white northern european ancestry who eats, shits, and pisses for a living has the right to elevate themselves over the mexican who works a physically stressful job at ridiculous hours to provide for himself and his family? Which is more productive?


Everyone is aware of what these persons who happened to be white have contributed to society, but the individuals not responsible don't deserve a slap on the ass. Benjamin Franklin was white and so are you....that does not make you an incarnate of him. Of course only the positive contributions are given credit but I'm sure many of you would howl "I did nothing" if someone were to personally blame you for slavery or the murder of jewish civilians.

You're dealing in absolutes that are both ridiculous and hypocritical. Now go forth and continue to create a negative spin on white pride.....you must want to keep it that way.
