I am what I was born. I make no apologies for something I had no control over.

No I am not ashamed of being White. I have always been good to all colors and I value all that our color stands for. I think all colors have their share of people who are not proud of their heritage. The American people have helped all of the people you mention. America is based on all colors and have been for hundreds of year. Christopher Columbus , was a Great explorer and he did lots to make this country a Great place. I am happy to hear you have great respect for all races. That is a good thing. But don't be so hard on your own color. Don't judge all Whites, because of some who have done wrong. We are not all alike. Every race will have its special and outcasts. Mexican people are Great !! So are the Black people. We are all Gods Children and should be good to one another. You are a good person, I can tell by the way your write. I just wish we could all live in PEACE. Work together with Love.

Alas, fair maiden. Your question is racist. All whites are not as you suggest. Any more than all Mexicans are like your bf. This last month, they found a Mayan temple/altar underneath the center of Mexico City. The Mayans had offered up to 15000 - that's the number - living human sacrifices at one time/festival on it. The victim's hearts were cut out live. The ones who sold all the slaves...black tribes warring w/ other tribes. The samuri, pictured so noble these days, were so vicious in the 15th century that 13000 men/women/children - Christians - jumped off a cliff rather than face them. The Mongolian treatment of Europeans under Ghengis - they won't even print it in most books. India still suffers under a horrendous caste system. Men exploit women horrendously in every culture.
The point? It isn't a white condition, but rather the human condition.

No, in no way. We further the rule of regulation, justice, a often unbiased civil provider, the abolition of slavery and torture, to call some. The activities you point out only approximately all got here from England or Scotland initially. Slavery replaced into abolished by making use of the British for the 1st time in human historic previous, they then went of to rid the international of it - and only approximately succeeded, different than in some Moslem worldwide places. Syphilis got here from us of a of america to Europe, not any opposite direction around. All touch between human beings or peoples is mutual. Yeah, you are able to like Mexican nutrition. Why not? Does that stop you from eating steak and chips? circulate to Mexico, journey the genuine us of a for some months, not purely a week. you will possibly even see issues in a diverse way - your b/f seems to wish the US. tell your self extra significantly formerly you swallow all that anti-white propaganda.

No, I am not responsible for what others do. I have never been prejudice or raised my children to be so. I never brought diseases to non-whites or took over anything. I live where I was born. Don't go back in time it is counter productive.
Indians had fierce wars between themselves. Some Indian tribes in Mexico cut the hearts out of captives. They were quite brutal to each other. Most blacks are killed by other blacks.
Most Muslims are killed by other Muslims. Slaves were captured by other black people and sold as slaves to white people. Man's inhumanity to man is nothing new.
Are you prejudice? That is the only one you have to answer for.
You can't change the past. Ethiopia had fierce wars, where they tortured their victims to death. Most people dieing over there now is not by whites, but by other black people.
Some people are cruel, some people are not cruel. Skin color or hair color has nothing to do with it.
I was reading about the Amish people who risked death to run an under ground rail road to free the slaves. worked and bought them so as to free them. They were white people.
Hid them in under ground shelters and kept them fed and warm blankets.

The Spanish explorers looked at the Aztecs as monsters due to the practice of mass-human sacrifice...and the non-white cultures have been killing each other off for thousands of years without our help...
My kids are some fraction Cherokee - and yeah, it's awful what white people did to the Cherokee - but a lot of other tribes probably thought it was payback for the brutal way they were dispatched...
Life is suffering...get over your guilt trip white girl.

I don't think anyone should be ashamed of who they are. you are who God created you to be. You should just be the best person you can be. As a white person you do not stand for all white people. You are one individual and your character is who you are. You can feel ashamed of what some white people have done, but not all white people are bad people there are good and bad in every race and culture of people. God bless

You shouldn't talk like that
You should be proud of who you are
not every race is perfect.
And if you do some research you can try to find out what white people have done in this world .

No...I am half white and I am proud of both of my races. I look white. Who cares what everyone else has done. Worry about what you do. Be proud of what you are!! You should be ashamed of being ashamed!!

No, I'm not ashamed of being white, nor will I ever be. Rather than sitting around hating what you are... go out and do something productive. Besides, think of it this way, human nature is the same regardless of skin color.

We all have some things to not be proud of, but you should still try to look at the good. I could say the same thing about being black with all of the negative stereotypes out there, but no matter what, I still don't look down on my heritage. You shouldn't either.
