White Pride.
I don't know about you, because depending on where you live, you get more or less of this. But I know it hits you no matter where you live.
For too long I've heard speeches about "Black pride" and "Mexican pride" , and have heard next to nothing about white pride. And the few who do dare to speak out about White pride are called racists. If Mexicans and African Americans are able to speak out about their pride in their race without being discriminated agianst, and being praised for it, why can't we?
Every time I've seen someone speak out for white pride, they've gotten struck down because of what we've done to the African Americans and Mexicans. Like we should have NO pride in our race because of what our ancestors did and because of precautions we've taken at the borders here in Arizona and elsewhere. Yes, I admit that slavery was wrong. But this is what, 200 years later? I see no need for us to continue to apologize for what happened so very long ago. And the precautions we've taken at the borders? There is definatley no reason to apologize for what has happened with that. Illeagl Aliens coming in, taking jobs from natural born and/or legal immigrants, and sending America's money to other countries, and they want us to apologize to them for trying to keep them out. Just immigrate legally and pay taxes like the most of us.
If we get called racists for speaking out about our pride, wouldn't we be able to do the same with the African Americans? And the Mexicans?
Every race and color has it's downfalls, weather it be in the past or present. There is NO reason that one color can't speak out about it's pride without being called rasist because of what it has done in the past or what it is forced to do about a situation.
I was kind of inspired to write about this when I was in Vegas and saw people of all ages holding signs up about white pride. Even though they spoke about Martin Luther King like he was a communist, (which I definatley don't agree with), and they were definatley White Extremists,(which I am definatley not one of) it reminded me that I don't have to be quiet about my pride just because someone would call me racist. It feels good to be able to say this. I'm white and I'm proud.

Whites have nothing to be proud of.
Whites aren't the ones who were persecuted, wiped out (early Mexico), made slaves. It is very rare that a white person is denied anything based on their skin color, so when members of other races can achieve something good for themselves, they have every right to be proud.

what the hell Dr. Cuddy?
So, because we <i>may</i> be the descendents of slave owners, that gives you the right to be racists to white people. And you're such a hypocrite. Saying you hate racism, but it's ok for a minority to be a racists.

To Dr.Cuddy:
I do agree that we have deserved it in the past, but we aren't still keeping slaves, are we? Yes, some white people do discriminate agianst black people. But some black people discriminate agianst white people, do they not? Society makes it out that white people are all bad, and are the only ones that are rascists. But that is definatley wrong.

Though I agree with some of what Dr. Cuddy is saying, racism against white/caucasian people.. I don't really agree. Asian people can be racist, too. Black people can be racists, too. Hell, we can all be racist for different reasons, but it still doesn't make it right. Sure what we did was wrong. It was, I know it was. But what about black people hating/disliking white people because of their race?
Not all people think of this. Caucasian people are not the only ones to be racists.
So when you say that you wouldn't mind being discriminated because of your skincolour and what your ancestors did, do you really mean that?
Racism is a bad thing. And I know I sound very hippie-ish and probably naive, but wouldn't it just be nice if everyone could accept eachother.. ._.
We can't control what people did 300 years ago. So if my greatgreatgreatgreatgrandfather had a black slave, should I have to pay for it now? I just don't quite see how it measures up.. it should've just never happened.

Your right. It's not fair that we get the blame for what people before us did. I'm white (english) but I've had lots of black friends and a chinese friend and friends from pakistan. Racism is definately unfair but I dont think it's right we should be blamed for what others have done so we shouldnt have to apolagise. Just because our ancestors did racist things doesnt mean we have the same views as them.

I agree with the blog. I'm brown, Indian. My mother hates London because of what the British did to India. I don't agree with that, because you can't blame people for a past generation's mistakes.
I believe in racial pride, but not racial superiority. I am proud of who I am and my heritage but I am not saying, nor will I ever say, that it makes me better than anyone else. You can be proud to be white. People hold out a peace sign and go "Latino pride, mi hermano!" What's wrong with Caucasian pride?
And this brings me to another point which I shall make a blog about and credit this blog as my inspiration.

Yeah. In Australia, i guess we aren't overly racist. But still, i'm neutual about my colour. Yeah i'm white, and i don't exactly have 'black' friends.
But still, i'm agreeing with Dr. Cuddy.

I hate racism, but honestly I have nothing against white racism. ...because of what our ancestors did... You mean what we are still doing? No one should have to show that they are proud to be black, white, Asian, Mexican etc. because it should be assumed that we are proud of who we are and that no one will hate us for that. I am not proud of being white. I cant be proud when I see what white people did to black people. And what they are still doing. Thats why I don't mind when they discriminate white people. We have deserved it.
