White people are mad at immigrants, mexicans, arabs, affirmative action, liberals and all kinds of stuff. We're not losing anything! Would you rather be mexican or black or any non-white race??

This isn't something that I think, but it's a question I see us white people asking all the time. Just look at how many anti-foreigner and anit-immigrant questions there are. My feeling is, why do they even care? They're not losing any power. I hate their complaining, "we have to do this, we have to do that..."

Finally, someone has brought up this issue that alot of white folks don't wish to admit is there. They ignore the elephant in the room.
'Why do white people say that they're losing everything? It has to do with ignorance, white supremecy, not wishing to share the weath and not wishing to share power.
White supremecy was never dismanted and yet white people will yell out "reverse racism" when something does not go their way. Because they expect things to go their way all the time and do not wish to have anything taken from them. Yet, they will be the first to say "I've never done that" or "I've treated people all the same" with ignorace to the point of being clueless to how they are oppressors.
I've heard white folks say "Why is it always whitey's fault?" Because "whitey" is the oppressor. White folks are presently living in denial due to the privileges being white gives them and we hear them whine about how unfair they are being treated. We hear how ridiculous they sound when they say people of colour recieve "special priviledges". HA HA It's laughable. It really is.
The only way white supremecy will be dismantled and changed is when white folks are aware of how they are oppressors and when they decolonize their imaginations in order to evolve and progress.

I am white and I am not mad at anyone in particular that is a different culture, what I am mad about is the way our government is DOING things they say are for OUR country. Who are Politicians really representing, the big companies or us little people? Our prices have increased to the point that a family has to decide to cut down on groceries to afford gas to get to work. Our groceries have just about doubled in price and the quanities have decreased 30%. We are paying taxes to support wars that we should not be involved in anymore. There may be a choice to get involved in the newest version of the war in Libia, and we can do nothing for them, it is a religious war. We are not participating in any other religious wars like in Ireland, why would we go there? We are hated by other countries because we are a democratic country. That has given us the right to speak, write, and live free. We are spoiled by our freedom. The real honest question is how much freedom do we really have? Our computers are being watched, our conversations listened to by satalite dishes and Homeland Security, and all of our prices for food, interest rates, and gas costs are all monitered and controled by the Government. Even our state lotteries are computer generated, what does that tell you?
I am mad that I cannot afford a mortgage on a house that is 200% over true value. I am mad that our world is heading to a neuclear disaster. However, I am glad that I am middle aged and the worse part is yet to come and I will not have to live through it. Which then makes me mad that my grandkids are going to be struggling through their life in order to live a normal life here in the USA.

Fear. Why? I don't know. White people are still the majority in America. Hispanics in America has increased a lot but they aren't all Mexican. There are Mexicans, Cuban, Puerto Ricans, Central Americans and South Americans. So,
It will take at least another 50 yrs. before Hispanics take the majority in the U.S.A.

I am white, very white, and I am not mad at anyone. It is a sign of ignorance and racial prejudice of the worst kind to generalize about an entire race , and make derogatory remarks . I am offended.
Very poor thinking on your part. I am not sure of what point you are trying to make

We're not mad; we're just losing our patience with ANYONE who just wants to take and take and take, and never give anything back. That goes for anyone, not anty particular race or color. Believe me there's a whole lot of white trash out there., too. And most of them are blaming anyone but themselves for their troubles.

Im not sure what race you are, but i LOVE that picture of Bush. When i first saw that clip, it took me about 5 mins to stop laughing. I would guess your white cause we are the only ones who complain but then try to turn around their opinions.

I've never said that, and I do believe every race should be treated equally.
