I don't get where you are coming from with this proud white crap... Say something like that around here and bam, you'll be proudly knocked the fuck out. Probably by a white guy with enough sense not to be such a dumb ass and say he's proud of being white.
You can be proud of accomplishments, proud of how you carry yourself, proud of WHO you are, proud of a lot of things but to even say anything remotely close to this and actually think it's ok... It's not ok. You need to study up on what we white men have done to every other race on the planet and then maybe you'll begin to understand what a bullshit idea it is to be proud of just being white.
Not only would I want to knock you out I might want to take a few teeth to leave you a permanent reminder. If you're going to talk like a redneck I figure I could help you look like one too.
Oregon,you are way off base here,as are others.
Im a white man & im also proud to be a white man,i can be proud of my race without being a racist,or a redneck,i can also be proud of my race & at the same time wish no i'll will or harm on other people,pride & racisim are two entirely different things,this fact has been lost to most white men,or drilled into them by media who've brainwashed them, through decades of ultra political correctness,until they believe or act as if shame is better than pride.
I make no excuses for my forefathers acts of evil,at the same time i make no apologies for my connection to them,i make no apologies for being white nor will i let any man take away from what i am because it makes them feel better about the way they think all white people should act,if other white people live their lives in shame of their heritage,or renounce their heritage because of the acts of evil men of their race then i feel sorry for them,that is the extent of my sorrow.
I refuse to adapt the apologetic stance of a modern day white man,where i make every attempt to act is if my heritage is meaningless,then renounce any heritage we may have left & accept the label of a "person",while every other race on this planet of our's proudly celebrates their race & heritage as they should be allowed to do.
My Mexican friends proudly show thier race every day of their lives,they celebrate their traditions,they celebrate their holidays,they embrace their heritage & they also do everything in their power to preserve their heritage for their youth so it will not be lost forever,and rightly so.
The pride in one's race & the preservation of that races heritage is something that is very important to most races on earth,Asians take great pride in being asian,they also try to preserve their heritage,as well as mexicans,jewish,lebbaneese,ect ect ect,it's not until we reach the races of black & white is there supposed to be no pride in ones race or heritage,only "people".
Being a good man/woman has little to do with being proud of ones heritage,its about how we live our lives that makes a person good or bad,its about the values we instill in our children,its about the respect we show other people deserving of respect,its about allowing others to live their lives in the manner they choose,and to respect the other persons right to be proud of who/what they are.
What being a good man is not about is judging a man based on small amounts of information,not about jumping the gun & labeling a man a racist,asshole,biggott,faggott,jew,whitey,spic,nigger,whop ect ect ect based on a few words they may speak,based on the way they dress, or that they dont conform to the way of life you/me/we think they should.
Racisim is something ive lived with my entire life,something my family lived with when it was not "ok" or "accepted" for a white man to marry outside his race,ive had the fuck kicked out of me many times in my youth for being white,ive been the outcast at family gatherings because im white,ive been called a racist from my inlaws for decades for my refusal to renounce my heritege, while they proudly celebrate their family heritage & traditions,ive had neighbors put up for sale signs after my family moved into the neighborhood,as well as parents refusing to allow their children to play with my children when they were young,based soley because they are mixed race children.
Judging a man based soley on the ideals you/me/we may have of how they should speak or act,or by what they hold dear to themselves is exactly what has allways been at the core of all racists & racist rehetoric,exactly like we see people branding others as racist scum doing in this thread,judging then branding based on "PERSONAL IDEALS",not by his actions as a man.
Any man who brands another man a racist for simply being proud of their heritage is not thinking properly & in my opinion not acting any better than a full fledged nazi or black panther,intollerance based on so little information is not the act of a thinking man.
about that black and whites cant do it like the others...
