This email was passed on to me to post by Jimmy Chitwood, and I think its a good summary of the frustrations many of us here have.
Proud To Be White</font>

Someone finally said it.</font>
How many are actually paying attention to this? </font>

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc.</font>
And then there are just Americans. </font>

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey,"
"Whitey," "Caveman" ... And that's OK. </font>

But when I call you, ******, ****, Towel head, Sand-******,
Camel Jockey, Beaner, *******, or Chink ... </font>You call me a racist.</font>

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you,
So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
</font>

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King
Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You
Have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP.
You have BET.
</font>

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) ... </font>We'd be racists.</font>

If we had a White Pride Day .. </font>
You would call us racists.</font>

If we had White History Month .. </font>
We'd be racists.</font>

If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" OUR lives ...
</font>
We'd be racists.</font>

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of
Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
</font>

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships
... </font>You know we'd be racists. </font>

There are over 60 openly proclaimed
Black Colleges in the US, yet if there were "White colleges" .. </font>
THAT would be a racist college.</font>

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching
For your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights,
</font>You would call us racists.</font>

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're
Not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride ...
</font>You call us racists.</font>

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer
Shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running
From the law and posing a threat to society ... </font>You call him a racist.</font>

I am proud.</font>
But, you call me a racist.</font>

Why is it that only whites can be racists?
</font>


Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on

Being proud you are white is not allowed for some reason. Where I live in Central NJ, we have Italian American Clubs, Irish American Clubs, Polish American Clubs and others. We have Italian festivals and Polish Beer Barrel Polkas and other traditionally European events and we openly celebrate our heritage without any backlash, protests or accusations of racism.

My guess is that being proud of being white evokes memories of the KKK and/or slavery and our government doesn't want to anger the minorities for fear of reprisal.

In the PC climate of today, it is foolhardy and economical suicidal to be labeled "White and Proud". You would probably lose your job for sending an e-mail like that to co-workers. The first liberal co-worker to read it would want your head on a platter. Even if you owned a company, that e-mail would have the protesters in front of your building demanding the world boycott your "racist" business.

On the other hand, I love that e-mail. But unless I hit the lottery, I won't be forwarding it to anyone.

I think its pretty sad if you don't have anyone you can send it to without fearing something. But thats just one man's opinion.

I have taken a liking to the term "caveman" over the years. In lock-up, it is used in reference to White inmates who will fight back, at all costs, against minority assualts and attempted rapes. The term "peckerwood" or "wood" means the sames thing. Its given to Whites who basically stand up for themselves, and refuse to be taken advantage of.

Guys, FYI, there is an edit function at the bottom of each post that you can use to correct those mistakes without posting again. It's really simple.

Why aren't there any White Americans who are proud of their English roots? It's always Irish, Italian, Polish, German... but never English. I've always been curious about that. Do we feel guilty about our English roots? Maybe the guilt over White Pride and the guilt over being English are linked in some way. Edited by: JD074

It is likely that the people of English ancestry in this country instead of identifying with their ancestral old country identified with their nationality in this country primarily either as Yankees or as Confederates. They have formed new nations to which they identify first. When someone shows either Yankee pride or Confederate pride they are showing pride in their ancestor who include the English. These groups may have been here so long that they show pride in their new nation that is centuries old already.

English, and I am not English descent by the way, through history in my opinion have distinguished themselves as the superior of an elite collection of ethnic groups in Europe. They are the best of the best. When you are the best its human nature to be modest. Edited by: Sean Carlisle

Ahhh you got me Bart. You're a ball buster. Maybe if I was English "descent" I would at least know how to spell the Queen's English with the help of all those generations of native speakers.

I'm really proud of all my West County/Scotch Irish and Eastern European heritage!

Carlisle, the Irish have been speaking English for nearly as long as the English. Sorry. They've had it rough.

I go to school in Cleveland right now, but I'm originally from New England. English [and Dutch and sometimes French]descent, "Yankees", rarely flaunt their European roots. With exceptions, they sort of lost a sense of "English" pride when they fought all the wars against them! Their ancestors became a new people and they didn't like to consider themselves "English."

And, they often inherited their Puritan ancestors' drabness and don't like to be flashy with their heritage. Especially, the well to do.


Hey, we're all Americans though! I think I consider American History as part of my roots just as much as the rest of my genetic heritage. Edited by: Freedom

Why are you running around debating racial issues? What's your motivation?

You're familiar with the contents of this email because people have been saying the same things for a long time. Somebody just happened to put them all in a single email with full-color text.

And even if it is old, what difference does it make? The Constitution is over 200 years old, but I wish more people would read that, too.

That's what I was getting at. Guilt. It's been a couple of centuries since we fought them, we should get over it. They haven't been "The Enemy" for a looooong time. White Americans should embrace their English roots just as much as the rest of our European roots.

And no more White Guilt for what happened hundreds of years ago!!

It many be more than a sense of the English being the enemy. The Germans were our bitter enemies in two wars more recent than the two we had with England yet German pride is pervasive. I think it has something to do with elitism ie the wasp power structure.

In retrospect I think I can speak for a lot of people on this site in saying WASP elitism is not so bad when we consider what has and continues to erode it (ie Jewish capital take overs and foreign interests). I'd feel more secure having some sixth generation American WASPs controlling the capital in America- not racist its just self preservation.

Quite a few things, really. It's a long story.

The lack of racial awareness and racial political awareness amongst
white people is a major factor in the ability to pass AA legislation by
lawmakers. Whites are still learning about their own race and the
discriminatory nature of AA. The effort of the MSM to try to portray
blacks as acceptable mates and forbidding the discussion of AA in
any major forum is making considerable blows to this effort. We are
still trying to lift every voice.

I'm all for AA as far as economic aid goes. It's true that some people may really need AA, and I'm not against giving this AID to those who otherwise may be worthy but would have no way of geting to it.
But that is where I draw the line.

Of course you're for it. You're black! Try to think like a white man and realize that for someone to GET something, it has to be TAKEN away from someone else who it belongs to. That is what white people have always called STEALING! If you had a similar value system you would understand but you don't. To you the NEED of a person is a claim on the property of another other. That is immoral, but if you don't share the moral understanding that theft is wrong then there is no way to discuss it with you.
