Do you think people are racist towards white people and why can't white people be openly proud?

Answer 1

White is hard to define as there are so many different races that make up "white" Race it's self is man made idea from the victorian times as they catigorized all the animals and humans into groups.

I also don't agree with being held responsible for the crimes of other 200 years a go either.

Answer 2

Yes there are white racists, though I'm not sure what constitutes "white" since we are all such a blend. Every ethnic group has a faction that is racist. I think what the question is about is things such as the "***** College Fund" , if there was a "white college fund" it would be perceived as a racist thing.
By the way most African slaves were sold to the "whites" by black tribal chiefs not stolen.
One other thing--is there a reason the "whites" colonized so much of the world? Were they more advanced? The Middle-East was more advanced at one time, yet they lost their "world domination". Isn't it human nature to dominate if you can? The male of the species has certainly always done it no matter what race. If blacks had been explorers and found people to dominate would they not have done so? The Moors certainly tried to dominate northern Europe with their invasions. It just didn't work.
Instead of people griping about what happened 200 years ago they need to become educated productive members of society to show that they are proud of who they are.

Answer 3

Look at history!! No other race has a history of using race to dominate others!! For several hundred years whites have ruled and even now still control the most of the wealth and power in the world. I'm not racist but I have to ask whites who are proud of "being white", how can you be proud of the kind of history you have? Whites are only as wealthy and powerful as they are because they went around the world colonizing the whole world, draining their resources and mistreating the people there!!

Answer 4

Yes, I do think some people are racist towards white people. I do agree with you all when you say its because you are upset with history. Yes, I do believe the white people have been so unfair through out history. And if I could take it back, I would. However, I wasn't alive back then. And neither was my family and friends. Why do you feel anger to my race or to me? It wasn't our fault that they were stealing people from Africa. It wasn't our fault that the KKK was formed. Not every white person is a member of the KKK. But I think if every one minded their own business, then the world would be a much happier place to live in.

Answer 5

No, I am not racist towards any white or anybody and I think many are so.
You can ofcourse be proud about anything you want to... But if you want to be proud only about being white then I would just like to say there are many wonderful people who are doing wonderful things irrespective of color and be proud of what you are good rather than the color... dont worry much on the color... outer color isnt permanent.

( Just a comment for the golden oldy... you didnt steal slaves from africa becos u bought them... i have no comments on people buying and selling people as commodities!!! well how about the slaves you all took from india to work everywhere u needed... how did u enter our country..how did u take our country.. want to justify?? what ever golden words you may polish with you all came only to steal all the gold and just abused the people who were living there... now you will refuse them even to put their step easily in your country... ofcourse if u have something to take from them u will let them in...
forget the history???u thought it was easy... why dont you just regret your actions ...it has been so many years and u still havent got the wisdom for that and you preach others!!! history does stay until it revenges itself on the bad whether the people revenge or not. if you dont want to know how bad you were then it makes sense that you will have to forget the history. but we are not in need to forget to our history.)

Answer 6

Let's see form the time whites came here until King died in 1968, whites were openly racists and proud of it. For hundreds of years whites made a big deal out of how better they were than eveny one so 40 years latter do not offset over 300 years of hate. just because the white race SAY there done with racism dosen't means it is over.

Answer 7

People are not racist toward whites. They are angry at the suffering and ignorance whites have inflicted on other races. Starting with the Native Americans and then the Africans, whites degraded other races and told all other races that white people were superior and treated everyone else as inferior. They stole the land from Native Americans, stole people from Africa, raped and murdered people claiming they were not human, lied and said other races were ugly and etc. Thats why other races, especially Africans had to learn to have pride in themselves and learn that they were beautiful and they were human and they were intelligent. The KKK claims that they don't hate anyone but are just proud of being white. Whites need to learn that you don't have to put down other races in order to have pride in yourself.

Answer 8

Maybe. white people have every right to be proud of their heritage, but when you add the racist views of the some of the groups aligned with "white pride" that is where the problems start.

Answer 9

Because being proud about being white is interperated as being racist. It's not fair, but it's the consequence of attacking so many non-white races in the past.

Answer 10

I'm proud to be white and other races are jealous because we have the most power in this world.
