I don't - I think a few more of us could do with following your example ;0)
-
None at all, im also white and proud, why shouldnt we be!!!! How are you and the family doing sloth???
-
If you are not racist then no one has any problem with that. My brother is also proudy of being a white, I feel there is a thin line between proud and proudy. Are you proudy?
-
What is it about your whiteness that makes you so proud? I'm proud to be Canadian, not white.
-
I don't. Good for you. We all should be proud of who we are. Don't let anyone take that from you.
-
I guess there's nothing wrong with it. What I don't understand is why you are proud of something you didn't have anything to do with. Shouldn't pride be for your accomplishments?
-
No, but why? what's the matter with you? is that a sickness? contagious? why should anybody have a problem with that? sweety you're fine its normal.
-
You should be proud of things that YOU had something to DO with. You didnt have to do anything to be white, you were born that way. Whoop dee doo. Why not be proud that youre a cool person, or you have a good sense of humor, etc?
-
Are you saying you're Albino? I think that is just a genetic anomaly..lack of pigment. You probably have to stay out of the sun or slather yourself with high spf suntan lotion. You might be prone to getting skin cancer so the sun is not your friend! :) Happy Friday! :)
-
Not at all, be as proud as you like.. though I'm not sure why you'd be proud of something you had no hand in. Having said that, I'm proud to be Australian.. so I guess I have no room to manoeuvre on that subject.
-
not at all.
-
Hussein Obama might.
-
Nope, and I couldn't care less what color you are!
-
As long as you realize that being proud of your heritage has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone else's heritage, then no. It is a matter of chance, not choice, that you were born white.
-
u can be as proud as you want to be just not in public or on the job or at school or anywhere else thats not your home or youre labelled as a racist if youre white...its a double standard and im against that im also against affirmative action and the like but thats for another discussion...im white and im proud of it and everyone should be proud of who they are
-
I am neither proud or ashamed that I am white...just as I am not proud or ashamed my hair is curly, my nose is turned up at the end a little, my eyes are blue. It is just something I was born with. To be proud of something that you did nothing to achieve doesn't make sense to me.
-
Nope. Im glad you are confident in your self. And no you cannot help what you were born to be but you can be proud of it :)
-
No.
-
Why ask such a question? are you that insecure?
-
You know, I am not racist what so ever, but you hear so much about how black people are proud to be black, and mexicans are proud to be mexican, which, of course, they have every right to be proud. But, you never hear about a white person being proud of being white. You also don't have a white history month, a month where you can show off why you are proud, where as African-Americans and Latino's, and Asians all have a month to demonstrate how proud they are. I may be wrong, but isn't this racism?
-
i dont, n dont care either...everyone is proud of their race..
-
I am too and I'm proud. As long as you aren't racist, I have no problem!!!!!!
-
::Ideally though, I agree that we shouldn't *need* a "Black history month" or "Asian history month"...History should be taught more diversely altogether.:: This is rediculous. I am so sick of people in the majority talking about how minorities don't deserve days that are nationally recognized where they can take even more pride in who they are and raise awareness and consciousness of their group and it's culture and needs. Whenever a white person complains about black history month, it is so unbelievably ignorant and is a clear example of majority privilege. Do white people not realize that EVERY DAY in America is white history day? Heaven forbid a minority have a day or month to celebrate it's role in this great nation. As far as you being white and proud, good for you. Be proud of being yourself and be happy with who you are. Just don't deprive other people of that joy when a moment arises for them to be happy too.

Only if your white pride comes with a skinhead and a swasticka.
-
It's an interesting thing, I'm proud to be Scottish, I suppose. But I've never felt proud to be white. Don't see any reason to.
-
I don't care about color any more. What difference does it make,....REALLY? I hope you carry your pride in a kind, honorable manner. The truth is: how can one be PROUD of something they have no hand in? You have nothing to do with why you are "white"... where does pride come into play??
-
I never really understood being proud of skin color, black or white. Tell us, what in particular makes you proud to be white?
-
Nope. I take pride in my accomplishments though.
-
(Being an Aryan who hates racism): Those who are not pride of what they are, they are insecure and have a complex of inferiority.
-
I don't know - how white are you? Kinda of an eggshell? Maybe bone or lily white? I need more information; there has to be at least 99 shades of white and are you referring to only your face? How about the bottom of your feet or the palms of your hands? How about your great great grandfather on your mother's side that no one would ever talk about? Nope, sorry not enough information.
-
Yes. I have a problem with ANYONE who takes great pride in doing or being something which is totally beyond their control. Be proud of what you accomplish, not the color of your skin. : )
-
I've never seen a "white" person in my life......I'be glad to meet with one soon....where can we meet?
-
I haven't got a problem with it but I do have a question: . Why are you proud of a simple accident of birth - something over which you didn't have any say or influence? And what are you proud of a skin color? If you happened to be born (of white parents) with unusually dark pigmentation - would you be proud of that too? . Just curious.
-
As long as you don't impose it on anyone else.
-
I am more proud of my race, than my color. I am more proud of my culture than the country i live in. I have a problem with that. You are proud to be white. And yet you arent white. An oxymoron. you are more pink. with a touch of grey if you are an old person.
-
No. Our skin is only different, but not our Souls.
-
No, if that is all you can proud of then I'm happy for you.
-
nope..i'm white..well i'm a little tan but i have no problem with anyone being proud of their color..as long as there is no violence in getting the message across
-
You should always be proud of who you are! Regardless of anything anyone else says.
-
I'm black and proud of it, and hope nobody has a problem with that!
-
Not I. I'm curious what exactly you are proud of though. Us whites don't exactly have a great track record.
-
we should all be proud of our ancestry - without a doubt!
-
Take it out and show us.
-
Not one jot more than I have a problem with people who are black and proud of it or hispanic and proud of it or Asian and proud of it....It's good to be proud of who you are.
-
Nope. Why should I? People tend to associate "pride in being white" with "supremacy"... that is not correct.
-
I m fed up and want to do what is necessary.do I make my self transpzarrent.
-
Yes. I think it's stupid to be proud of things you had no control over. I'm proud to have blue eyes!
-
No, unless you had a problem with other people being proud of the color they are even though they had nothing to do with it. Do you have a problem with that?
-
No, you have no problem.
-
How can you be proud of something you didn't accomplish? Now it would be a different story of if you were proud of your heritage. I know I am, and I also happen to be white. People would only have a problem with you if you thought being white was better than say..being black, or hispanic...you see what i'm getting at? It didn't sound like you were saying that at all so no, I don't have a problem with you being proud to be white.
-
how can you take pride in something you didn't achieve
-
of course not? i mean, daaaaaaah why would anyone have a problem with that? i dont!!! but.... *if you are racist? then i do have a problem!
-
Is that something you accomplished yourself? ;-)
-
Everyone should be proud of their heritage.
-
Not me. Do you have a problem with it?
-
Nope.
-
I don't have a problem with that. The only thing I do have a problem with is bad drivers who talk on their cell phone and swerve into my lane. What's up with that?????
-
I've read more than a few answers here to the effect of "How can you be proud of an accident of birth?" I think they are missing the sense of the word "pride" in this context, that is, not the pride one feels for one's accomplishments, but rather the opposite of shame; refusing to accept stereotypes, not tolerating racism (yes, white people are targets of racism too), and not accepting the burden of guilt that some would attempt to force on our entire race for slavery, segregation, monopolization of the American political/economic power structure, or whatever else. Fuck the guilt. I am proud, as in not ashamed, to be white.
-
I can't imagine being proud of being any race. I didn't do anything to earn it so what's the be proud of? I am what I am and you are what you are. Pride has nothing to do with biology.
-
I'm so very happy for you. I'll alert the media!
-
NO, but I think it is a very trivial thing to be proud of. being proud that your skin color is the same as 70% of the population of the US. normally we are proud of achievements that set us apart from the rest of the people. you never see a coach say he is proud that his team finished .500 for the season, or a parent saying "my kid got all "C's. Being White in the US is Average.
-
It's ok to be proud of who you are but if you are saying that you look down on anyone that isn't white then I would have a problem with it.
-
no, i'm proud that my grandfather came from denmark. it's only when one believes their race, creed, nationality or religion is superior to others i have a problem.
