Being a white person
    #23672498 - 09/23/16 10:32 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Being white is hard these days. If your proud to be white you can be labeled a racist. If you like Donald trump you can be considered a racist . Am I suppose to feel guilt about what happened to black people in the past. I personally don't feel bad because i had nothing to do with it.the us is fucked up country man. If your white these days your a devil price of shit.

it's impossible for other races to understand the daily struggles for a white male such as myself, they act like they know but they just don't get it man

I dunno, being white has worked out pretty good so far.  I don't think i would trade even if it came with a much bigger dong.  Not that i'm on top of the world, and not that i've never had the cops points guns at me, but on balance, being a white dude seems like an advantage in many respects.  :shrug:

I never did understand being proud of one's SKIN color.

I understand being proud of one's ancestory and culture and country and the things one's "people" have done.


Me, I'm from the south and I'm white. I'm not proud of living in the south, or proud of being white. I am proud of my heritage and the some of the history of my ancestors. Not all of it is pretty. I am descended from the Hatfields. I'm not proud of the level of stupidity in that family feud but I do respect my distant family's hardcore sense of honor and family connection. But I'm also descended Pocahontas' father, cheif Powhatan. I am not just proud of my confederate ancestory shit, like alot of the redneck idiots in the south that like to wave the generic flag like they know anything about their own history, but I'm also proud of my native blood. I respect the depth and commitment and culture of those who have lived and died and ultimately helped make my life.


Both have bathed this country in blood. No more than any other people. Both ultimately did what they thought was right. And both had senses of honor, compassion, values, and a deep rooted sense of freedom - that is what I am proud of.


Tbh imho those who are ignorant of history and culture have superficial pride.

Your grammar tells me you probably rode to school on the short bus, then most likely stopped going all together. Your opinion is valid, however. My brother in law believes that satan put dinosaur bones on the earth to test our faith. Should I have to apologize for his stupidity? No. Should I have to apologize for my ancestor's stupidity? No.

I have a German chemistry prof who feels the same way. German national pride is nearly non existent because of past events.

That I find sad. My gf is German and I love her family's culture and she is proud of her heritage. But she talks about it less than I talk about what other people see as my inbred ancestors having a small hillbilly war over a pig. Which isn't often.


Race pride, like most everything else these days, is shallow and rides on stereotypes. No one pays attention or gives a shit what you are actually proud of.


Its like being proud of being gay. Being gay is a rediculous thing to be proud of. Coming out and personally facing severe bigotry and possibly feuds within your own family but still being open and happy with your sexuality is something to be proud of. But then so many people are so sensitive these days they tend to think that overcoming their fear of coming out when it's quite accepted now is something to be proud of.

Even people that acknowledge being proud of how far gay rights have come know little of the history behind it, how badly gay people were treated, or how hard people fought for it and how much they risked.


I'm tired and rambling and probably not making sense.

Right? Do you know how much of our modern science we owe to the germans? Holy shit. The past 100 years have completely revolutionized and rewritten common ideas and foundations in chemistry/physics...thanks to mostly germans. And this was all pre-Hitler, mind you. Still, being proud of your german heritage is almost unheard of these days.

If I was black and went to college or was hired for a job just because i'm black and not based on my merits I would feel mildly offended.

Affirmative action and "workplace diversity" are complete and utter bullshit and it's shocking and offensive these things are accepted parts of our modern society.

Uh oh someone call the thought police. Those are unsafe ideas, buddy. Better check yourself before you trigger a meltdown.

So giving people an advantage in getting a job or getting into college based solely on their race and not on their merits is a good idea?

I'm all for diversity but not at the expense of others.

You can be tots white as snow and proud of it without being a racist tho, all you have to do is not be racist.

The term "the most qualified person should get the job" was recently added to some bullshit list of "micro aggressions" that should be avoided. Apparently, its an insult to people who arent qualified to get the job, but feel they deserve the job because they arent cis white males and therefore live a life a constant repression.
