It's nothing wrong to be proud of who u are but I feel that a lot of white people only say it because non-whites say it a lot and they are being sarcastic. But come on, black ppl are proud that they have come this far from being an oppressed and enslaved race. that's y they always say they r proud to b black. Im sure the same goes for other races who are non-white

Hmm, good question - what DID white people contribute to the world for which we can be proud?
Do you drive a car? Listen to the radio? Watch TV? Read printed material like books, magazines, etc? Ever fly on a plane or use a computer? Go to see a movie? These things were all invented by white people.
Do you enjoy great literature such as Shakespeare, Poe, or Emerson? Have you ever relaxed to a beautiful classical symphony? Browsed a museum and wondered at the works of Leonardo DaVinci, VanGogh, or Dali?
How about all of the cures for diseases that plague peoples of any and all colors?
How about all of the charitable organizations created to help the afflicted, needy, and otherwise less fortunate?
How about all the white people who lost their lives fighting other white people to free African-American slaves?
And all the white people who bravely fought and died to put an end to a regime that tried to wipe out all Jews?
Gee I dont know, what DO white people have to be proud of?
I cant seem to think of anything!

What do white people have to be proud of?
That Was a Racist/ Stupid Question....So ill give you A racist/Stupid Answer....
I am white, and if it WASNT for white people..... well you would still be in a hut in africa, hunting lions or some sh*t. Or in the middle east, again in a mud hut. While u were just learning hunting gathering skills, white people evolved and made Civilizations that were more sophisticated in 500BC, than nowadays in the Middle East, and Africa.
We are the smartest, hardest working people in the world, we invented pretty much everything, from transportation, to democracy, to airplanes, cars, computers, software, inventing physics, and sophistaced mathematics and how to help others catch up to "white status" by government grants and programs.... So what do white people have to be proud of.... well a "race" that is above and beyond well.... yours!
Ask a stupid question..... get an answer that is justified! What a stupid question.... how about you open your school books and read them? You give your own "race" a bad name by the stupid questions you ask....
And you still ask why there is racism in the world? cause u stupid mother fuc*ers keep it going...

a. I doubt that you are really White.
b. Take a piece of computer paper and make columns with each of the following titles: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, *******, Australoid, Mestizo, and Arab. List-under each of titles- all of the civilizations, inventions, literary works, medical advances, works of architecture, etc. that each race created. Which column is going to be the longest?
c. "White people took the Native Americans land."
- First off, the natives welcomed the early Europeans. Secondly, the Europeans created a government in a land that was filled with bands of roving tribes and tribal warfare. They created towns and roads. I'm not approving everything that was done to the natives, but I'm not going to call the formation of America the worst thing to happen to this great land.
d. "White people enslaved African Americans."
1. They were not African Americans when they were still in Africa.
2. Africans in Africa were enslaving one another long before the White man reached Africa. In fact, most Europeans bought the slaves of other Africans in Africa.
3. Slavery continues today in Africa. Many Africans still sell their children and/or capture them in tribal warfare.
e. "White people tried to kill all the Jews."
Yet Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, supposedly Stalin..... All were Jewish (or partly Jewish) and were involved with something that killed more people then Hitler ever did. Why is it that no one ever mentions them?

Why am I responsible for things that happened so long ago ??? All the things you mention are terrible things, but why condemn all white people for it ??? The reason for these things was GREED, and it knows no boundries or nationalities... EVERYONE has a right to be proud of their heritage, regardless of what it is...Do you think all Germans were behind Hitler ??? Or that I would have you think what our ancestors did to Native Americans was right ??? OF COURSE NOT!!!! Any sane person knows what happened back then was wrong, but that was then and now is now... I AM proud of my heritage, but that does not mean I think I am better or superior to any other nationality. Why can't we all just agree to treat each other with respect ??? Everyone alive deserves at least that much...Can't that be a start ??? WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS ??????

White people created the world we live in today, we aren't all the same culture (reverse racism?) but we created so many things today and strong governments and such, along with religious influences, poetry, military strategies and how to fight intelligently, food or whatever else i missed. Dont let anyone tell you your a devil cause your white or something to that extent cause bitches like those are ignorant of the fact that we shaped the world and by the way dont concentrate on the negative

The whites who did that are not alive today and many white people today do not share the same ideas as the ones back them. Anyone could be proud of anything.

Your young and you have a lot to learn. There is nothing you can do to change your color, but it shows your color inside is not White. All that you mention are in the past. You are looking out of one side of the window. Go back to your History books and see what rose to this height. Suppose you blame all whites for everything. You need to read more and ask yourself WHY .
