In short, man... I don't think you understand that you are not a "white race". You are Dutch. Be proud of that. I never hear of racial profiling of Dutch people by cops or the media. You are a victim in your own head
Because white pride involves Nazi imagery and KKK ties almost every single time. "White" is not an ethnicity, it is an exclusion of other ethnicities. You can have an Irish pride day or a Dutch pride day and those are rarely viewed as racist. But "white" people aren't a people any more than "brown" is a people. Black ancestry comes from a fairly homogeneous culture so it is a celebration of something in particular; not a dislike of something else

see i disagree with you here, if you are white then yes infact you are part of the white race, but your ancestory lies somewhere else just like if you are black you are part of the black race but again your ancestory lies somewhere else
you also talked about white pride being only with kkk or white supremist, i have pride in the white race and im not a kkk member or a white supremist, i also have pride in the black race. why isn't it ok for someone to have a white pride parade but on the other side it is ok for someone to have a black pride parade?

you say white is not an ethnicity then this would also mean that black is not an ethnicity because black people come from other countries then, if that is true instead of a black history month then they should just have days like ethopia pride day or kenya pride day am i not right?edit on 30-4-2011 by caf1550 because: (no reason given)edit on 30-4-2011 by caf1550 because: (no reason given)
Whites of antiquity really started to believe that Negroes were below them and less than human. It was first legislation but it then transformed into a belief
The main difference that you missed is that "black" ancestry come from Africa which is very homogeneous, culturally. So black people are of "African" descent. White folks are extremely varied and are not of the same ethnicities. To say that all lighter skinned people are under one "white" racial umbrella is kind of insulting. I am what I am, I'm not every other white ethnicity out there
so whats your solution? looking at this your basicly saying we diserve to be treated as lesser beings because a VERY SMALL persentage of white folks hunderds of year ago did something quite bad

Question:
When slavery was abolished, and AA's had to endure another 100 years of lynching segregation, social oppression, acerbic legislation, and complete degradation... where were the whites who were slaves with us?
Were they victims of the same abuse?
So is this a class issue? Maybe, at first. But then it evolved into a RACE issue.
Whites of antiquity really believed that Negroes were below them and less than human. It was first legislation but it then transformed into a belief system.
Disclaimer: Yes there were American whites against the ill treatment of blacks. But let's be real here, that was a SMALL percentage.edit on 30-4-2011 by Q2IN2Y because: (no reason given)edit on 30-4-2011 by Q2IN2Y because: (no reason given)

So let me get this straight, is Europe some kind of second rate continent? From which Whites cannot claim ancestral background? Is that only a privilege people descended from Africa can claim?
Just make some sense please.
really? because here in england our job application forms you only get to choose white unless you from some mid east country or africa then you can put you country of origin. it so thay can give more racial quota spots to non-whites
