If anyone bothers to look back they see that America started off with Native Americans & Mexicans. Then white people came & they brung Asians & Africans with them. American has NEVER been white so white people have no reason to think that it should be. Plus, white people haven't the right to get upset at others cuz they are proud of the country they came from. Just cuz someone comes to America don't mean they have to give up thier feelings for where they came from. Sure, America is better off then most everywhere else; that is why everyone wants to come here. But that don't mean other countries aren't good. Every country is good. I think that everyone should be proud of where they came from & be able to talk about thier country. Don't let my advitar fool you, Im white.

Well Pam, don't take this personally because you aren't the only one on here with terrible grammar, but it's not "Brung" it's Brought, few other mistakes, but your human. And I don't think that American's think that our country is for whites, I think we have a problem with all minority groups who leech off the system. I'm not saying whites don't do it too, but the majority are minorities. You should be proud of where you came from, so whats that have to do with it? If America wasn't a diverse and wonderful place then we would kill people for being different, or believing in different things, and having individualized thoughts. There are many very hard working minorities out there, who also hate taking care of everyone else. Don't you think it really upsets, lets say a hard working Black Lawyer, Johnny Cochran for example, don't you think he had the same feelings towards his people that sat on welfare? The minorities are already at a disadvantage, so for the prosperous ones, I'm sure they are let down bye what their people are doing. See we white, just call our people who sit on welfare, trailer trash and get over it, but I think that there is a lot more petty crime among minorities, that's why we form more opinions.

I don't feel that white people think America is for whites. I think Americans feel this should be America not a foreign country inside America. If people want to live in America then live here, do what you want, but don't try and stop us from being Americans. I personally don't want people to forget their heritage, but don't try to get Americans change just for foreigners.

Who does? I don't think they get away with it! Maybe they are reacting to all the "minorities" getting special treatment like the country is mostly for THEM!

I agree with your comments and think most Americans would also, so your question makes little sense to me.

I'm white too.

Going back through history and time the white always took what didn't belong to them, but claimed it as there's and there's alone....more fool those who let them do that.
