By that statement I mean being proud of being white is not a crime. As I have said before I am not a racist. I am proud to be white. But because of the Nazi movement they have made this a racial thing. Yet blacks are allowed to walk around preaching it and having parades about the same thing. Granted they have been oppressed and all of the past issues but at the same time the worst of those years are behind everyone and its time to start moving on. But back to my point.
Because of the past of how other races have been treated and because of the upheaval of the Nazi propaganda bullshit going on, we will automatically be labeled a racist for even uttering white power. I see this as racisim in its purest form that as whites we can not even say things or we will upset the liberal media and society it self well if they have a problem tell them to fuck themselves. I am proud to be white I am proud of who what I am and where I came from and I will be damned if some liberal p.c. nazi is going to tell me what i can and can't say. White power or being proud of being white is not a crime as long as it is not used as a tool of hate.

"By that statement I mean being proud of being white is not a crime."
ReplyDeleteNo. But too many people who have expressed that sentiment have committed crimes based on it for people to take it as a benign statement.
"I am proud to be white. But because of the Nazi movement they have made this a racial thing."
The Nazi movement hasn't made it a racial thing—taking pride in your race is inherently racial to begin with.
Personally, I think taking "pride" in a skin color is misguided in any case—I'm not "proud" of being straight, or "proud" of being a man. These are not things I did, or had anything to do with; It's something I had no control over—I was just born this way. It's not a personal accomplishment, not something to be proud of, it's just who I am.
"Yet blacks are allowed to walk around preaching it and having parades about the same thing."
First of all we have to acknowledge that white society has and has had power continually for the last 400 years. We have been dominant and have set the status quo— and we have been the cause of various forms of oppression. Black Pride came about as a tool used to fight the status quo. It was an affirmation of an oppressed group's humanity, while White Pride is an affirmation of this group's inferiority. If Whites and Blacks were on completely equal ground, then there would be no cause to use this term.
"I am proud to be white I am proud of who what I am and where I came from"
But White Pride isn't the celebration of a cultural history or specific unique aspects of a certain ethnicity (such as Irish Pride, Italian Pride, etc.) nor is it the acknowledgement of a bond built by a common struggle (Black Pride). "Whiteness" is the complete absence of culture and the abdication of ethnicity, cultural background, etc. in favor of becoming part of a blanket identity which was formed for the sole purpose of distinguishing "greater" from "lesser"—"good" from "bad."
"Because of the past of how other races have been treated and because of the upheaval of the Nazi propaganda bullshit going on, we will automatically be labeled a racist for even uttering white power ....

Twice you've used the term White pride and White Power interchangeably. They are entirely different things. I think pride in skin color is silly, but being "proud" of being white is not inherently racist. White Power on the other hand IS, and if you're trying to convince people that you're not racist, advocating White Power/White Supremacy—the belief that white people are superior to people of other racial backgrounds—is not the best way to go about it.
i agreed with you until your last point and you proved it for me. you said: " I think pride in skin color is silly, but being "proud" of being white is not inherently racist. White Power on the other hand IS"
ReplyDeletewould that not make Black Power being racist? by your logic it would and that was my basic point in this whole thing.
but i do believe you are correct in everything else you said, people use white power as a racist thing but black power is used now a day as basically the same thing in my opinion.
FUCK WHITE PRIDE!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's old, but I think I still can write a word...
ReplyDeleteSo, YSD, you're just saying that if Black Power isn't racist, Neither is White Power, so there is no problem!
The fact is that both Black Power and White Power are racist - with different histories, I know - but still racist because they include the idea that a race is superior to another/all the others.
So, keep on with that shit of being proud of the colour of your skin if you want but don't try to say that White Power isn't racist, as the other one is trying to say that Black Power isn't too.
And allow me to say that pride is something too precious to lay on your origins or physical appearance. Pride is for something YOU have done, or deserved, not for something that came out to be when you were born.
