Proud To Be White

I think that the point of the original posting, noNOTHING was that it is okay for the "african-american" and the "mexican-american" to call us names such as "honkey, white-bread", etc but if we should drop the "N" word, then WE are considered the racists!!!!! They are also allowed thier ALL BLACK colleges and such, but not ALL WHITE!! Racism is NEVER right....whether it is white on black or black on white!!!! NEVER!!!

Even the natives of your country are forced to be called native americans...

The old ones considered themselves Indians (Sioux or Crow or whatever) and Americans and were very proud of it- before the PC folks came along and told them they had to be "natives".....

They were also very proud that their basketball teams had names like the "Indians", "Braves" or "Warriors"...It wasn't until the Jesse Jackson's of the Indian movement like Russell Means and Clyde Bellecourt, along with a few rabble rousing politicians came along and told them that that wasn't politically correct that anyone even looked at it.....

As an ADULT, I have a CHOICE where to live!!! So do they......work, save and get out!!!!!! Yes, it would be tough, but many before them have proven that IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!! Oprah Winfrey was raised dirt poor, yet has made something really BIG of herself....living proof of how you CAN change your destiny!!

Oh, but it's the free hand outs (welfare) that keeps them there (in the ghetto), some of them have been on welfare for generations. It seems our liberal legislators want to keep increasing the welfare check, which is very nice for illegal aliens :roll:

The shoe was on the other foot once when we flew into Guyana.
Everyone in the airport seemed to be either black or east Asian
and we wondered if anything bad happened whether we could count
on the police or anyone to help us. It was a different feeling- like being
estranged and out of the loop, which we'd never felt before having grown up as part of the majority white race. It taught us what it must be like to live in a culture as a minority. And it wasn't comfortable, believe me!!

You don't have to go to Guyana to be extremely outnumbered NR.

Go to the inner cities of Atlanta, Baltimore, New Orleans, or heck just over the county line from me where the black over white ratio is 9:1.

It's very easy to pinpoint those who have spent their entires lives in an insulated world. Their responses are so very predictable. :roll:

LOL I know that. I was raised in a mainly white community but went to Guyana in my 20s. Since then I've lived and worked in a completely mixed community and have enjoyed puzzling through the racial mixture. If I had to choose between the two areas I'd choose a mixture. Different cultures keep life pretty interesting to my way of thinking. Why get into the hatred mode?

Why get into the hatred mode?

I have no idea why the minorities continue to hate "Whitey".

I think there is a serious lack of good role models amongst them.

Anyone that's upset about special allowances or circumstances that favor races other than caucasians in the U.S. need not fret. Won't be long and caucasians will be a minority in this country and you'll get your chance to take advantage of those benefits.

Regardless of my opinion about it, I was born into my family as a pure matter of chance. I had no choice in the matter. Each and every one of us has to take the hand that we've been dealt and go on with it. Play the cards and don't covet the hand that your neighbor is holding.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that if your only concern is somebody else trying to get ahead of you and trying to get special allowances that you can't get, then you must be doing okay. If people are taking shots at you and making remarks, they're obviously worried that you've got a better deal than they've got. So...You must be sitting pretty good.

As far as all of the legitimate, government approved allowances for race in this country, I do think it's all a bunch of junk. But I need to just follow my own advice and play my own hand the best I can.

Some people just need executed for being a drain on society....here in a sister city to where i live a 21 year old man was just caught and charged for agravated sexual assault on a 9 year old autistic girl and he was already a registered sex offender for molesting a 4 year old girl when he was 11!!!!!


cut his nuts off one at a time with a dull rusty spoon and hang him until he is dead dead dead :!:

Oh no...we'll put him in jail for a few days slap his hand, tell him not to do it no more and release him. Arghhhh!

oh and by the way...he is WHITE.

There is trash of all races, and good of all races...just the trashy ones piss everyone off because they drag down society and are a complete waste of fresh air! I know several people myself that just need slapped upside the head on a daily basis for the way they are....no jobs....no intention of getting a job....UGHH....What do you do tho....besides cuss and like the whole "survey post" was saying.....go kick your dog! Although I'd rather just give mine a snack because my dogs are a more positive asset to this world that a lot of damn people in it! :!:

I know were Africa is. I know where Asia is. I even know where Scandanavia and the middle East are.
But just where the heck is this Caucasia anyway? I'd be real interested in learning a bit more about my Caucasian ancestry. Maybe visit my ancestral homeland. I wonder who the Primeminister of Caucasia is?
hmmmm...... :???:

I think our country would do better with more empathy and remembering each person was created by God for a reason. Just my spin on it.

You mean there were no special job quotas, scholarships, holidays, organizations, sporting events, clubs, etc.... just for white folks? Gasp!! What did they do...assimilate?

I directed this "Thread" to a high School friend of mine

His answer:
Another view
Dennis,
I looked at the posting and was disappointed. "Montana cow gurl" doesn't have enough self-esteem that she has to take comfort with such comments. Except for California and Hawaii, the other 48 states are still significantly dominated by Euro-Americans (whites) in the power structure--politically, financially, institutionally, etc.

She doesn't realize that it's this historical dominance which has given rise to the various ethnic identification organizations. Justice Sandra Day O'Conner said a couple of years ago in the decision to allow affirmative action criteria to be used at Univ. of Michigan in student selection: 'we hope that in 25 years from now this won't be necessary.' I think most Americans of all backgrounds hope for that eventuality.

In the past 50 years, significant advances in race relations have occurred (certainly by statutes) around the America. But racism today is more subtle and below the surface (the posting is an example) and institutionalized. Racism is certainly not restricted to white vs. black but is found in many inter-racial relationships or interactions. I believe that most Americans would like to see the day when hyphenated Americans become irrelevant in daily life.

Unfortunately, we are not there yet. For example, it still happens occasionally to me, when I meet someone (a white person) and introduce myself, it is assumed that I'm a foreigner (because of my face and name). They might ask me where I'm from and I tell them Pennsylvania. But then they say, 'no, no before Pennsylvania'. Finally I tell them I was born in San Francisco. They still have that 'oh really!' look on their face. So I finally them, my grand-parents came from Japan in the late 1890's to California. They walk away with a puzzled look on their face. This is a trivial incident to be sure. But when was the last time anyone asked you about your ethnic background or where your ancestors came from, because they assumed you were a foreigner?

When I left GilroyUHS and went to Berkeley, the socializing scene there was interesting. There was the Newman Club for Catholic students, Hillel for Jewish, the Chinese Students Club, the Nisei Students Club, etc., etc. There was lots of self-segregation going on. My dad was all bent of shape when my brother Tom at San Jose State once came home with a white coed date.

But times have changed in my family--I'll send you a photo in the next email.

Best,
Hiro

 

[Mrs.Greg]

OD/NT I'm not really sure why you felt nessasary to post that :???: Your friend is assuming something about a 14 year old honor student that has a brother who is a marine fighting for your freedom...MCG is far from a young lady who has low self-esteem,shes a young lady that knows what she believes and feels she has the right to say it....kind of like that daughter of yours your always bragging about.

 

[Hanta Yo]

To each his own, OD/NT. MCG has her opinions, and isn't the type of "pack" person like many young ladies her age are (speaking about the young ladies in her school). She isn't afraid to step up and speak her mind, and that's exactly how we raised her.

I don't know why you felt you had to post that either

 

[the_jersey_lilly_2000]

Very well said Mrs Greg!!!!

 

[montana cowgurl]

to tell you the truth anything you or even your friend say about me does not bother me because i know the truth about myself and you cant say things about me and be able to mean them such as i have low self esteem because you do not know me. technically...there was no need for what you just posted besides to get yourself in trouble with everyone else on this forum that disagrees with you.
