Are you proud of your race?

[ecofarm]

In what context did it come up again to prompt you to start this thread?

An interesting question. My guess is it came up in the context of minority pride because he doesn't understand what that's about. That's if we take things at face value.

Why would being white make you proud?
You have some research to do. Being white is being of the race that discovered the new world, cured innumerable diseases, defeated the oriental imperialists in the 40's, planted a nation in 1776 that is still the wonder of the world, fought to defeat slavery of another race, invented the assembly line, and etc., etc., etc. look it up, and if you still are unhappy with white skinned people, come back with your rebuttal.

What's any of that got to do with you? Are you claiming credit for what someone else did?

 

[concernedpuma]

I know you do, my friend. I know. You support law enforcement when they target minorities and you hate law enforcement when they target your supreme, white leader.

Hence, your creation of threads like these to help mitigate your guilt and insecurity.

I'll stop responding to you if you'd prefer. I don't want to make you feel any worse.

I am reluctant to write this, but your pathetic attitude requires it. I know police(all colors and races) and refuse to follow your specious description of those who you will call when you hear a noise outside! The men and women of law enforcement deserve the support and admiration of the citizens they protect! Are there rogues that disregard rights, certainly likely. They do represent a cross section of us, and post like your latest makes it clear there is a loony element.
How about you join the police and go out armed only with your Christ like views?

CP

I'm a white hetero cis male, but I'm proud of societal progress. I'm proud of minorities for pushing the majority and I'm proud of society as a whole (including white people) for improving as a result.

I have black pride. I have brown pride. I have gay pride.

We grow.

Yes, when speaking of a group to which I belong. Isn't that the essence of your message; group pride, as assigned by you? Though, following your reasoning, I could only be proud if I am black, Gay, or a woman.

Like the gist, but note you didn't mention the sacrifice of Union soldiers, who were by and large majority white. Why aren't they mentioned in February? Where is the celebration of their contribution to abolishing slavery? I guess they have to be satisfied with their reward on an ethereal plane. They surely get little thanks here.

See post 329. I got pride, black brown and gay.

White pride just doesn't make sense. White people never overcame injustice. Neither did hetero. Nor cis. Nor male.

But I got pride in all minorities for pushing and society as a whole for growing.

No, not when speaking of a group you belong too. You don't get any credit for what someone else has done, I don't care how close you stand next to them.

According to the logic of liberals- you're guilty for what your ancestors did wrong (slavery, Jim Crow, etc) but also not entitled to take credit for what they did right.

B-b-but slavery is a-a-all of our faults, right GM?

Are you pretending that slavery was invented by white people?

Okay, maybe we agree, Just please explain black, gay or hispanic pride? You are not suggesting all fitting that description can't have pride, are you? If not, why, because they stood next to someone? I did too.

No, I'm referencing the collective guilt that you believe its our responsibility to experience, us wi pippo.

Allow me to fast forward to my point. Think a black, brown or gay person will tell me I can't have black, brown or gay pride? Step right up. Won't happen. Now, try that with white pride.

Minority pride is inherently inclusive. Majority pride is inherently exclusionary. That's why minority pride events are always diverse and majority pride events are not.

Who takes credit for the holocaust? Or wiping out Native Americans (most of them along with the Bison).

 

[Grand Mal]

What the hell are you talking about? You think white people have collective guilt for slavery? You need to educate yourself, laddybuck.

Side note. The bison were naturally at a much lower population. The absurdly huge bison herds of our glorified past are the result of wiping out their primary predator, Native Americans. No ecosystem naturally succeeds to an overpopulated gargantuan herbivore.

Germany has absolutely taken responsibility for the Holocaust, although it'll never end. $89 billion paid, as of 2012.

Taking responsibility means taking credit.

Native Americans haven't had it so good, but they probably also don't have a massive squadron of lawyers dedicated to seeking money for their pain and suffering, as the aforementioned group does.

I know they do. In fact, university research studies have shown it's possible to induce racial guilt in white people, by constantly reinforcing historic injustices that were done by specific white people to minorities. Yes, they actually spend money in order to discern how well the propaganda is working.

Interesting post. $89 billion divided by $ 6 million is about $15,000 a person. How much do you think was stolen from them? I wonder how much is sitting in Swiss banks. Anyway they did get many of their cities bombed to oblivion and rightly so. Gotta luv the human race. LOL!
