  • Unfortunately yes. My most realistic guess is that it would not get much attention, but I also guess a lot of people would poo-poo it as racist somehow.
  • Yay White Europeans! We got lucky and discovered cereal grains, so we got to eat more (and drink more beer) than others. We lived in close proximity to our domesticated animals and their dung, so we developed all sorts of nasty diseases that devastated everyone we came in contact with. We were the 4th or 5th race of people to discover North and South America. We spent so much of our history butchering our neighbors and developing better ways to butcher each other that when we encountered other races, we were able to enslave and slaughter them with impunity. We took everything that the Greek, Romans and Egyptians figured out (and the Arabs preserved) and built upon it. Let's celebrate all of those things. http://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/0393061310/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743296281/
  • I suppose it would, at the least, not be well-seen from many people, for historical reasons. 1) "White pride is a slogan used primarily in the United States (although its usage has spread internationally) to promote the heritage of persons of white European racial identity. The phrase appears in the artwork and literature of many White nationalist and white supremacist organizations. Organizations advocating white pride tend to be collectively referred to as the white pride movement. Advocates of white pride argue that white people should be recognized as a cohesive and legitimate cultural group, with the right to promote their sociopolitical interests. According to a University of Minnesota study, 77% of white Americans believe "their race has a distinct culture that should be preserved." [2] They often claim that there exists a cultural double standard in which only certain ethnicities are permitted to openly have pride in their heritage, and that white pride is not inherently racist, being roughly analogous to positions such as black pride or gay pride. Opponents of white pride argue that movements such as black pride and gay pride represent affirmations of self-worth and solidarity on the part of oppressed minorities, whereas white pride represents an attempt to reinforce the hierarchies that gave rise to that oppression. Several anti-racist organizations have argued that ideas such as white pride and white nationalism exist merely to provide a sanitized public face for white supremacy."

It is considered one of the seven deadly sins. According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary, Proud comes from late Old English prud, probably from Old French prude "brave, valiant" (11th century), from Latin prode "advantageous, profitable", from prodesse "be useful". The sense of "having a high opinion of oneself", not in French, may reflect the Anglo-Saxons' opinion of the Norman knights who called themselves "proud", like the French knights preux." "In Germany "national pride" ("Nationalstolz") is often associated with the former Nazi regime. Strong displays of national pride are therefore considered poor taste by many Germans. There is an ongoing public debate about the issue of German patriotism. The World Cup in 2006, held in Germany, saw a wave of patriotism sweep the country in a manner not seen for many years. Although many were hesitant to show such blatant support as the hanging of the national flag from windows, as the team progressed through the tournament, so too did the level of support across the nation. By the time the semi-final against Italy came around, the level of national pride and unity was at its highest throughout the tournament, and the hosting of the World Cup is seen to have been a great success for Germany as a nation."

  • Probably. Its kinda sad that anytime a white person trys to talk about pride in being white it gets twisted in some BS. I'd like to post an email I got today if it will let me. Its pretty long so I may have to do more than one. But I thought it was well worth the time it took to read. We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by many of America 's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, 'Mexifornia,' explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream. Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States . He said, 'If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.'' 'Here is how they do it,' Lamm said: ' First, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put itis way: 'The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national e xistence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans and Muslims.' Lamm went on: ' Second, to destroy America , invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds/SPAN> ' Third, we could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentriy and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.' Lamm said, 'I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to en sure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.' 'Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school.' ' My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority plation.' ' My sixth plan for America 's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precet. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia , threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. 'E. Pluribus Unum' -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will ' Balkanize ' America as surely as Kosovo. ' ' Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking.. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-cultum, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America , it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them.' In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, 'Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America . If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book.' There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America Take note of California and other states. To date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book '1984.' In that story, three slogans are engrd in the Ministry of Truth building: 'War is peace,' 'Freedom is slavery,' and 'Ignorance is strength.' Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.
  • What about St Patrick's Day? Nobody complains about that. And we have many European festivals, the Italian Festival, the Mardi Gras (french), German Octoberfest, Danish Days, Welsh Lumberman Competition, Swedish Saint Lucia Ceremony and many more.
  • Yes. And if you believe that that is racist then maybe you could read this: http://www.dickshovel.com/priv.html or this: http://liliane.comicgenesis.com/d/20050528.html - it's about "straight pride" marches, but it's pretty easy to think up parallels. White people are not bad. You can't say that any race is bad. Nor are all white people good, or all black people good, or all... you get the idea. But black pride and things like that pretty much came out of hundreds of years of evil treatment by (predominantly white) people, and ongoing systems and deeply-embedded thoughts in society that STILL f**k over people who aren't white. Non-whites, pretty much everywhere in the world (certainly in Europe) are a political minority - even if there are more black people than white people in a town, chances are those black people are NOT the leaders' top concern, and they have years and years of backlog of terrible things holding them back in some way or another, more than the average white person, specifically relating to their not being white. To say that "White European pride" is just as valid as other racial pride is to say that white Europeans have gone through the same institutionalized oppression as those races, which is simply not true.
  • Not if it were organised by white europeans who happened to be from a wide variety of backgrounds and beliefs, not Nazis.
  • Probably. But, being the dominant skin group, do you really need minority-styled celebrations?
  • The whites are the only race willing to give up their power. The minorities want it and the bleeding hearts are giving away the store. so sad
  • Pride does not equal supremacy. The phrase "White Pride" has bad PR, despite it not meaning "supremacists." What I would think about it is that it is redundant: most of the current holidays are based on white folks or white events or other white history. The real problem with a White European pride day is that it would collect the supremacists just like the Tea Party activities are collecting them. This would give the day a bad reputation very quickly. The kicker with "white pride" is because, historically, the phrase has been used to denote white supremacy and has been a rallying cry for white racists. Now, logically, "white pride" is no different than "black pride," "Hispanic pride," etc. The words "white pride" are perceived incorrectly but, due to history, that is life. It is sad that normal white people cannot say that they have white pride without being seen as racists. If I was white that would annoy me.
  • "White pride world white day" is celebrated March 21th. Yes, it is by many concidered to be a "Supremacist/Nazi spectacle", because it is not concered to be politically correct to show white pride.
  • White European pride? For what? I can not see much the white Europeans could be proud of.
  • I think in a global world the time of chauvinism and nationalism will be completely over for ever. We all know where chauvinism and nationalism always will end. I think the German example of WW II should be more than enough and anyway in some important countries they still play wth a growing pleasure the chauvinist card. It will be completely useless because in a global system these chauvinist attempts of some countries which are nothing but a spot on the world wide map, will fail in reality. The economy in the world is no longer ruled by a few countries but it is ruled by a world-wide system. Those who did not conceive this world-wide change yet, seem to live in the 17th or 18th century. So the chauvinist gamesplayed by some Euopean nations are nothing but ridiculous and an amusing kind of entertainment in the world-wide theatre. The European economy can only live and survive in a global world-wide economy, except some chauvinist countries want to go back to rural society like in the 17th or 18th century. I think the people in those countries would have to give up a lot of their standard of life because this would the price for it. Back to horses and water-powered mills?
  • thank you that just pissed me off the way it was worded.
