tell me something bout being white?

Question

how come being white is something to be ashamed of in the usa?...this country was founded on the backs and minds of white males..how come now the same founding fathers of this country have come under attack from every possible direction and from every possible ethnic background?..why all the hate for the white male?

Answer 1

I think that it is easier for minorities to blame whites for their problems, instead of blaming themselves and their own actions. for example, look at blacks. NOT ALL OF THEM, mind you, but MOST black people I know do not treat each other well. The women treat their men like crap and scream at them and demean them, the black men cheat and screw around and end up having 6 kids with 5 different mothers on welfare. Look at the stats. The kids grow up without a father. They commit awful crimes in their own communities. The vicious cycle goes on and on. Poverty, etc. But it is easier to blame white people than learn about birth control, education and responsibility. SOME Mexicans who enter our country illegally want free education, medical and other services. When we (ALL American citizens of all races) want that stopped, it is easier to blame mostly the white people instead of fixing their corrupt government. Everyone wants to blame white people, yet everyone wants us to pay for their sins and mistakes as well. I am a first generation born in USA in 1972. Not I nor any of my family had ANYTHING to do with slavery. Millions and millions of Americans had absolutely nothing to do with it. And look who has slaves now. The blacks in Africa are doing it to themselves in Darfur, etc. And guess who is pressured and supposed to save the people and fix the problem?......................

Answer 2

When I say anything in anger about whites, it is directed to the people who make racist claims about my people. Some white people ignore history, and claim more credit for their race than what is deserved.

This country was founded over the corpses of my native ancestors, and the backs of slaves and poor immigrants.

The founders were liars. The Great Plains of the West belonged to the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Nations. Our hunting grounds are states, and there are whites, asians, and blacks living on the treaty territories that were not supposed to be settled by Americans. I will never respect the founders, they plotted and schemed to murder native people, so that they could take all of our land.

I know that the white men walking on my ancestor's land today are not responsible for the brutal acts of the founders, but are the beneficiaries of those acts. I don't blame you, for example, for what happened to my people.

All races have contributed to this country, and to credit only the white race is arrogant. It is that arrogance, that makes whites the "target" of all other ethnic groups.

Answer 3

The hate for the white male comes from their abuse and exploitation of women and minorities. You say that this country was founded "on the backs and minds of white males" but it was the backs of slaves & immigrants that did the work while the white males reaped the profits. As for minds, women and blacks (and other immigrant minorities) were considered incapable of having useful ideas, so if white males felt burdened by having to do all the thinking it was because of their own prejudices. Even today no rich person could exist without standing on the backs of hundreds of low-paid employees. There is nothing to be ashamed of in being white but there is surely something to be ashamed of in an economic system that pampers a few at the expense of many.

Answer 4

properly thank heavens there are some valuable blacks after all this time. I propose complete 0.33 international international places have risen out of poverty in a lot less time than the "economic racism that Whites initiated interior the 1960's". yet regrettably the few do no longer conceal sufficient for the numerous. Blacks are in such denial, the single ingredient they never opt for to manage are each and each of the surprising statistical archives on the detention center prices, crime prices, murders, welfare amassing, unmarried moms raising multiple little ones by technique of different fathers, lowest existence expectancy, between the optimal weight problems prices, etc, etc. Yeah for a black to make it, the percentages are antagonistic to you, besides the indisputable fact that the question is after all those years, the position does the blame really lie at? like you stated, that is been over 40yrs. on account that economic racism.

Answer 5

hmm, whites brutally subjugated, murdered and enslaved many people of color oh yeah, and outright stole their land (Native Americans, Africans, Mexicans). so how was the country founded on the backs or minds of white males?

I don't hate whites at all, or anyone for that matter. But I do wonder sometimes why (some) whites look down on people of color as if to say the only acceptable culture is yours.

Answer 6

There's no hate for white men, there's hate for the belief that solely white men founded the country when it came together also because of the "minorities," from the slaves unjustly brought over here to the civil rights leaders. The founding fathers aren't under attack, white supremacy, Hispanics, and Blacks in ghetto neighborhoods are. Also, remember this land was usurped from the rightful owners of it, the Native Americans who are now living on reservations.

Answer 7

u are kidding me. Backs and minds of the white people? i woulld say back and slavery from the white people. Blacks, 400 years of free labor.

and chill nobody hates whites....

Nobody is trying to give preferences to nobody. Its is a make up for the racial predujice and discrimination for minorities. The day we are free of that, then those benefits would go but now, minorities are at disadvantage.

Let me give you an example. A black kid: his ancestors were slave and could not accumulate wealth nor study.......VS the white kid who has the ability to go to school because their parents gave him the opportunity because the parents of their parents had the wealth from their parents and so on.......CAPITALISM AS WELL WITH OPPORTUNITY ARE PASSED ALONG FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.

You cant not tell me that there arent bad stereotypes, hate, xenophobia and discrimination for minorities?? unless u live in wonderland u wouldn't know. So for now, many programs to help balance things out and to give "equal opportunity" are needed. Maybe in 1000 years from now, we won't, but now, we do.

Answer 8

I'll keep it short, u name a good thing this culture has done? History has shown every time they pop in a different area in the world; land gets stolen, slavery, converting of religion, teaching ethical behavior (ha, that’s a good one), etc, etc. I'm not saying all white males are bad but being in the top of the food chain and making mistake upon mistakes, well what can we say. (Now, lie to me Johnny)

Like Chris Rock say in one of the HBO specials, only the White people can profit from pain, “But its all right, cause is all white!”

Answer 9

This country screams fairness to all races. What this country lacks to realize is that every race, but whites, have their fairness. For example, black people can have their own colleges where only black people can attend. Do white people have an all white college? No. That's because it would be said that the whites are all racist. This country is so caught up in being politically correct, we forget that not everyone is going to be satisfied. We need to take things as they come with fair justice to all, not just minorities.

Answer 10

people, (not including the Blacks and Native Americans) have no other way of yelling racism with out using race. i have nothing to be ashamed of. what happened a million years ago has nothing to do with now. all we can do is not to ever let it happen again. the native Americans and the black have more of a right to be piss ed off about the way they was treated. this is a deep subject and i really don't care to get into it on here. what is an innocent conversation can tick some off.
