Now I will be honest with people here I am aAfrican American, but I have mixed brothers andsisters, but that's a different subject. WhatI want to say is where is the white months at. Spanish people have a month,Asians do, evenus African Americans but where is the white peoplesholiday. I don't mean to be offensivewithsaying white people, but I amwondering when is it okay to be proud thatyour white. AndI don't mean thewhite pride where you go burning crosses on people's lawn, but just happy that your white.

heh, if 'we' were to instate a white pride month, 'we' would be called racist

and it's ridiculous, but it's the truth

if I would run on the street with a T-shirt saying: proud to be white, people would classify me as being racist

even more ridiculous, but still the truth

im not quite sure of your question. are you asking why there is no month long holiday for white heritage, or are asking why many whites arent as vocal about their pride for their heritage?

Caucasians have done many mean things in the past, and STILL are. There's a new forming of the KKK...I wish I could find the YouTube video, but a group of Caucasians are forming a clan to kill innocent African Americans, Spanish, Asians, etc. One man, killed five guys already...He believes that Caucasians are the best race in the world...They were interviewed on Fox News, and the editors "accidentally" cut him off because he was ranting on how white people should be supreme ruler of the world.

I know not all people are like this, but seriously...This really needs to stop.

tbh I don't think you're black. I think you're saying that to try to give your thread some credibility.

Do white people need to have pride in the colour of their skin or "culture". Why do they need to celebrate an opportunity to celebrate their race or culture when it is the norm? Maybe if there was an ex-pat community in a foreign country they'd be justified in having an "American day" or whatever but not in America. What is 4th July for?

Independence day, a celebration for being "American", not white. :|

If people want to takepride in their heritage, whether it be white, black or Hispanci, then why not. Why do white people need to be a minority until they're allowed to take "pride" in it.

Do you want to know why there is no 'White History Month'? Besides the fact that we'd come off as racist, most of what we learn is about whites.

I'm happy that I'm human, as we should all be.

Do white people need to take pride in their culture or heritage? Most do but it's not white heritage , it's Irish, Scottish, German etc. Most already do take pride in that. Look at what happens in New York on March 17th.

White people don't have a right to feel segregated or excluded from society when America is a white society.

America isn't a white society when whites only make up just over half of the population. You seem to be forgetting the 120 million plus individuals living here that aren't white.

You seem to think that whites are immune to racism and have never experienced it. Being white I can tell you right now you're wrong.

That doesn't matter...your statement was that WHITE people did "mean things"....and HISTORY shows that all groups of people have. Blaming one entire "race" for what a few do....and only singling out that one race = racism.

My friend even hates America because her grandparents died from bombs being thrown on her country. She has to stay in the US because it's her only way to get an education...

But you still don't get my point. White people aren't the only ones doing bad things. You'd also have to be really sheltered to think that the KKK is the worst organization in the world.

Actually America is 3/4 white not to mention it is still a highly racially segregated nation, geographically.

Here's a question: Who says you can't be proud? Some shmuck on the street? Someone who isn't in your demographic who gets their feathers ruffled? And, even if you try to answer those questions, who cares what they think? Be proud if you want to be proud.

The only thing I see people having a problem with such an idea is the fact that other cultures in America have an underrepresentation in the history books almost to the point of omition. Where is that for white Americans? Where is the lack of representation in a nation where, for years, being white was the norm? Was upper class? Where it was so, to the point, that it created a sort of hatred between lighter skinned blacks and darker skinned blacks. Again, I'm not going to say don't be proud of who you are. It's not my or anyone else's place to say that you shouldn't be. Be proud of being black, white, yellow, red, blue, green. Be proud of being male or female. Be proud of being Christian, Muslim, Atheist. Be proud of being Straight, Gay Bi. But when you ask where the month is for the Straight, Christian, White Male, do one of two things:

1. Read up on history and see why there is even a need for historical and cultural representation for others.

2. Or start up a petition for there to be a month.

But don't come to anyone else about a "Lack of representation in the form of a month of faux celebration."

I don't even know why people need a month so they can be proud of themselves. It's as if they just want some attention.

it seems like everywhere you look you see white culture.

Look at congress - majority white.

Watch TV - majority white especially the news.

Read a high school history book - mostly white culture.

Having white pride in the US makes about as much sense in starting asian pride in China.

Depends on the history book you read. The US was settled by Europeans so the early years would be in line with the dominant demographic. Read a European history book and you'd get the same thing.

Now read a world history book...or one dealing in a different country and the demographic shifts. Rather unfair to point at history as being biased to white culture. History is as it is.:roll:

As for politicians that has been changing....

TV is a mixed demographic now...so that's false. It depends on which show interests a particular individual...but most shows have varying cultures represented now.

there already are many white pride holidays. they are called st. patrick's day, norwegian day, oktoberfest, and the feast of san gennaro in little italy. most white people don't have anything in common. most black people however, were brought here in slave ships hundreds of years ago and don't remember what tribe or culture they came from. because of this, black people are usually placed into one group that has shared a common struggle in america.

Now I will be honest with people here I am aAfrican American, but I have mixed brothers andsisters, but that's a different subject. WhatI want to say is where is the white months at. Spanish people have a month,Asians do, evenus African Americans but where is the white peoplesholiday. I don't mean to be offensivewithsaying white people, but I amwondering when is it okay to be proud thatyour white. AndI don't mean thewhite pride where you go burning crosses on people's lawn, but just happy that your white.shadowfox55

that bit mad me laugh for some reason... am i evil?

but the "white man" comes from many backgrounds and has varying religions. are you referring to white Europeans? In which case there are many many races, British, germans, French, Swedes, Norwegians, Dutch.... the list goes on. Or white americans? they too come from many backgrounds. However there are plenty of Holidays, not a day to "celebrate being white" cause well... thats kinda wrong. As I think days to celebrate being Black etc etc are wrong... not that Ive actually noticed any national "black days"... :|

There shouldn't be any "heritage" pride. There should just be human pride.

why would italian, irish, or german american people want to celebrate being white, if when they came to this country they were oppressed by other white people? they would be celebrating for different reasons than black people.

also, notice that there are no asian pride celebrations, but there are CHINESE new year celebrations and chinese moon festival celebrations. black history month celebrates african american culture, not race. you can't celebrate european american culture, because there is not one european american culture, there are many. immigrants from europe were free to pass their traditions to their children, while african slaves were homogenized in plantations, and for the most part, have one generalized culture.

People shouldn't be proud of their race no matter who you may be. It's an unchangeable factor, and being "proud" of the way you are genetically composed seems inane to me.

You do understand the difference, right? Most remembered historical figures and events in the Western world are associated with white people already...

Why would I be happy because I'm white?

Agreed; that's why I find our local SF Gay Pride extravaganza every June so goofy. "Look at me, I managed the amazing achievement of being gay
