Is it wrong for one to be proud of their racial heritage if they are white? Forget about racism. For arguments sake, lets assume that one does not believe they're superior to other races, but nonetheless proud to be white... proud to be a decedent of European peoples. Is it wrong for such a person to have pride in their lineage?
Not wrong but rather pointless. You gonna bake yourself a cookie or something? What the Europeans did has nothing to do with you. I think its rather sad that because you have the same level of pigment in your skin that your taking credit for what others did just because you kind of are colored like they are. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?
I guess, for people who feel worthless and have no accomplishments of their OWN, their only refuge is to try to grab reflected credit from previous family members, which makes no sense at all, that maybe they have some kind o f gene in them. F coursem that theymay have the inborn capability and are NOT doing something to be proud of their own makes their abject failures to be all the more poignant and significant. But what seems PARTICULARLY pathetic and desperate is to try to claim some kind of "pride" in the accomplishments of someone who is NOTHING MORE than the same COLOR as yourself. Its really sad, and I, in all seriousness, find the depth of personal worthlessness and shame that such individuals must feel to need to do this to be incomprehensible.
Nothing wrong with it, at all. Every other race of people on the face of the Earth are allowed to be proud of their race and their heritage. Only whites are made to feel guilty and ashamed of who they are and where they came from.
Heritage is different from race you know. Nothing wrong with being proud to be Irish but being proud to be white seems rather pointless.
Here you can witness an example of the typical anti-white narrative being expressed by a person who likes to call himself a conservative. Political correctness has been the most contagious and effective disease the Marxist left has ever conjured.
If I were to do so, it would be macadamia nuts and chocolate chips. Maybe, maybe not. I don't subscribe to the idea that there are no races, save for the human race, and that color is insignificant. I think the conditions present across the worlds continents attest to such... but anyway... Oh I'm sorry, has my topic of discussion upset you so? Your reaction unintentionally plays straight into the point I was trying to make...
This question shouldnt even be asked. Be proud of what you are and if anyone has a problem with it just hurl insults at them and get belligerent.
Here is more anti-white sentiment, brought to you by someone who would likely wear traditional African garbs during Black History Month to show his black coworkers how much he respects their culture. - - - Updated - - - Heritage and race are strongly correlated. A distinction without a difference, which is the kind of pointless nitpicking you are known for. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?
To anti-whites, it actually bothers them that people like you will have the audacity to bring up a conversation like this. That's why he is reacting this way. He won't, however, care if someone of a different race brings up a thread about their race.
Heritage and race are not correlated. Ireland has quite a large black population that consider themselves Irish. I know in your color coded world that is impossible but nevertheless, its a fact. There are many whites that consider themselves African because they were born and raised on the continent. See the difference.
No, I don't. A white person's heritage is that of European descent, originally. Whether they moved to different areas over time, or whether other races moved into Europe over time, is irrelevant. I'm too tired to bother with your trolling tangents tonight. I really am.
I don't intend for this thread to turn into a turd flinging contest. I'm simply asking if it's 'acceptable' for whites to have pride in their lineage, or to be proud of their racial heritage.
Of course not. No more than it's wrong to be proud if you're black, brown. red or anything else. I left out yellow cuz I've never in my life seen a yellow person unless they had jaundice. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your nationality, relgion, sexual preference or anything like that. IMHO I believe it is wrong to be proud to be a criminal, degenerate or anything morally wrong (lol like liberal....j/k).
I see nothing wrong with having pride in your heritage and culture. Not so much skin color. Lots of people in different locations share my skin color. That does not mean we share anything else in common. I know several African American and Hispanics that have more things in common with me.
Nothing wrong with being proud of your heritage but being proud of being white is silly. Very few people walk around saying they are proud to be asian or latino, they usually specify a heritage, especially asians. Blacks say they are proud to be black because they simply have no idea where they came from other than knowing it was on a slave ship. If you travel to other countries where blacks migrated on their own you will hear them say they are proud to be nigerian or ethiopian or what have you. The only real exception to this are Native Americans who identify themselves as one large group, not individual tribes. Although many will insist you call them Sioux or Cherokee it is not the norm.
Either it is acceptable for everyone or it is acceptable for noone. It is socially acceptable for everyone else but whites, which means it is still morally sound. The only way it can become acceptable for whites again is for white people to draw the line.
So, what you are saying is no one should have any pride in anything other than themselves? No pride in your nation, your religion, your home baseball team, your children? Wow, arent you just the little pride killer. Actually, pride in self is the least thing you should have. Self-pride leads to arrogance. I'll just keep being proud of my kids and grandkids thank you.
Aha, so you're Irish. Figures. What with the drunkenness and all. You do know that the Irish are white don't you? That term black irish has nothing to do with skin color. What happened to make you ashamed of being white, Ken?
Check this out: Cain Velasquez - Brown Pride tat Rampage Jackson has a Black Panther tat. Is the equivalent acceptable for a white guy?
I did not know that. I assumed from your words that you were Irish. Well, skin color means nothing to me but you have sure gone off the deep end here tonight. Maybe when you get some sleep you'll go back to being intelligent again.
Time to crash... but again, avoid flinging excrement. The question is rather simple. Is it, or is it not, okay for a white person to have pride in their origins or race, even if they're not racist?
