Why aren't you feeling okay about being white? It's okay to be any color of skin you were born with. Whatever!

Simple, it's the 21st century. Racism needs to be stomped out of our society. It is disgusting and degrading and down right embarrassing to see the racial differences still dragged out into the open.
Read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Maybe then you'll get a clearer view of what America was and is supposed to be.
We are the land of the free. We are the land of opportunity. We are equal. Race, sex, creed should not matter at all. I have no right to hold anyone down or destroy another's right to obtain prosperity because I'm white and they are not. That person deserves the same opportunities that I do....the only thing that should separate us is our determination to succeed, not the color of our skin.
There is and never was such a thing as White America except in the minds of the idiots that felt they were entitled to enslaving men and stealing lands.

I am white and i would say that most of the time i am happy to be in america.
But,
I get a little frustrated that i work harder and put in longer hours and get lots of pats on my back at work, but then an equal at my work (different race), can get away with showing up late and pawning all thier work off, and they take home the same paycheck, and if their job is threatened they claim it's a "race" thing... I suppose im asking a question here now.....
Why doesn't the average workplace support good work ethics over fitting some minority quota?

Because the only "group" that can be discriminated against is "the white, heterosexual male".
You can have derogatory comments made about you and no-one notices. However let you be in a in a group of people who call each other *** ga, queen, or any number of terms and you say the same exact word in the same exact context and you are considered "racist, or homophobic, or sexist".
This is why you feel that you feel the way you do.
In this age of political correctness, you are allowed to say anything you want provided you are from the right group, but are muzzled if you are from the wrong group.
Unless and until people fulfill the dream of Martin Luther King we will continue to see this.
I myself look at each individual person and judge (yes judge) the content of their character instead of telling them you can do nothing without my help.

They just want you to feel that way. In fact if you are a white male in America they really want to hurt you. The fact is America today is the most anti-white male country that has existed in human history on the face of the earth, but thats ok, because people don't bother with hating losers. Suck it up, and remember you are on top of the food chain. Now live like it!

Because you have a problem? I am white and get a little mad when I realize I don't have the same rights as minorities like money for starting a business or going to school but oh well. I grew up in the ghetto too in Detroit. It's not based on where you came from but what color you are. Isn't that discrimination? I'll live.

Because of reverse discrimination. Just look at sports.
I don't see equal race participation anymore, especially
in football and basketball. When there were more whites
than blacks quite a few years back, blacks complained
about discrimination until there was equal representation.
Now, there are more blacks than whites which equals the
same reverse discrimination, but where's the equal
representation now? Not gonna happen.

i think you have a great point, the media is so worried about race that all they do is show the black guy / white chick combo
over and over in commercials etc, the agenda is there and it is obvious.
blacks only make up 12 % of the population but are shown in 90 % of everything, im not against blacks or any other race but the subversive nature is obvious,,, only when this affirmative action bs crumbles will the truth be known

Because you are "the man", keeping all those minorities and women subjegated like slaves. They can't find a decent job, have no hope for a future, and can't move into the white neighborhoods because they are so violent......anyway, be proud to be white, we run this country and always will.

Your obviously in High School. Don't worry, by the time your 19 or 20 it won't feel that way. Unless your in prison.
