Why is bieng Caucasion and proud of it mean your rascist ? All the time you hear of Blacks, Mexicans and so forth hollaring Racism, But I have yet to hear the white race hollar it....Blacks are just or more racist then we are, even though wont admit to the fact. Im not a rasict but Im defiently proud to be white and I wouldnt change it for the world....What is your honest opionion and no nastiness please, this isnt meant to be or sound rasict but Im just confused why we Caucasions catch all the backlash when it comes to racism

i agree with you on this subject 100%. i am deffinatly FAR from racist, but you are totally right! if a white person were to shout out im proud to be white than we are looked at as racist. if this racist thing has to do with slavery. many white women/girls were also inslaved during that time. i think everybody shouldd just be happy to be alive than worry about what color their skin is. EVERYBODY is diff. an has their own unique look to them.

There is a thin line between Ethnicity and Racism, and racism verses bigotry. A person would be psychologically compromised if they had no respect for, and feel no obligation to, their ethnic ancestry, but flaunting it or rating it as if this were a competitive matter is where the trouble begins.
Philosophically even the concept of so-called Ethnic Pride is a buzz-word. Ideally we should appreciate all ethnic struggles and triumphs and in that ideal context there is nothing to be proud or ashamed of.
Take the gay issue for example. So what if someone is gay, that's a sexual preference and sex has an appropriate context or place in life, but if is flaunted in the face of persons who don't care or have no reason to be concerned then one is being obnoxious and rude. race can have the same arrogance if take out of context!

The problem is your dealing with ignorant people. I am American Of Mexican decent and I say good for you for being proud of who you are. Just don't ever take it to the ignorant level and let a few bad apples turn you racist. We at the end of the day or life span will all find out we are all one and should treat eachother in the way you would like to be treated.

You are correct when you say other races than Caucasion have some racist people. We can only hope that someday our world will revolve into a place with much more intelligence and rascism will disappear.

It's called 'reverse racism' sweetie :-)
We seem doomed to pay the price of mistakes and horrible things that our ancestors 3 times removed made.
Last I checked, noone on the face of this earth did the things to these people that they are still bitching about!
Do you see Jewish people on the street with all the hate and wanting special attention because of the Holocaust?
NO!
I say, get over it and work for what you want in this life!
I am obviously also caucasian. I have actually had black folks refuse my service because I was white!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell me who has issues...
I assure you, it is not me :-)

Be grateful you can at least claim being a female as part of a 'minority'. Try being white male, you are guilty of sexism, racism, bigotry, global warming, SUV's, AIDs and so on and so on. You're not allowed to be proud, if you are you're a skinhead racist Nazi Klanman.

Yes I have noticed that too. I have especially noticed it coming from the illegals when we stand up for our rights and demand that these criminals be deported. Just a way they are the others try to confuse various issues and get people off track of what is really important.

"...why we Caucasions catch all the backlash when it comes to racism"
Two short, simple answers.
1) Slavery then
2) Segregation

Everyone is a Racist.
If you believe a ***** is the best (........) Athelete
You are a racist in favor of negroes.
If you don't agree.......you are a racist because you chose another race.
Only people who believe no one is better at anything because of their race is not a racist. There are none.

Caucasians can't stick up for themselves because the ACLU will sue them for it... especially if they also happen to be Christian.
