I don't see how any showing of being white can be pushed into the barriers of racism. Especially when other Ethnic pride movements are constantly pushed into the left and supported. :(
Is there truly anything wrong with being white? Should I be ashamed to be white? I think not... Should someone be ashamed to be their race? No they shouldn't, they should be proud to be who they are. And apart of who they are includes race.
Me? I'm White, so I overly look at issues from a white standpoint... I'm almost certain that this would be done as well by someone of a different ethnic background.
I know I'm likely to get flamed for making a thread like this and likely banned due to the fact that it won't be responded to well due to the fact that what I'm saying could be considered 'racist'. So I'm just going to make it known that not only am I not encouraging racism but I'm just looking for whites to accept their racial identity as whites, just as blacks are able to accept their racial identity as blacks. :)

I can't say I agree there. Scientifically we're all different genetically due to race. Even more so-- race is one of those things that should be respected due to the fact that it is apart of what makes up who we are. :thumbup1:

Ethnicity and race are two very different things. An example that's close to home for me is that the Chicano power movement (i.e. The Brown Berets) was not racist as Chicano means Mexican-American and that is an ethnicity, while Hispanic/Latino is the race.

Actually "White" is a diversity of R1a and R1b mostly and has its own ethnic subgroups much like the Native Americans, Asians, Africans. The human genome project has traced all current genes down to about 1250 persons who survived the great Toba volcano and ice age thereafter. Most other humanoids died out because they could not adjust.
For a person/human to have "Pride" is not wrongheaded. All races have some pride in who they are. It is when we as the individual become prideful that we think of ourselves as being better than another. This can also be seen as a sin in many world faiths and cultures as a stain against their own civil society/mores.

Race is apart of all of these.
For instance-- Europe is traditionally a more White region. (No racism here.) Generally politics deal with racial issues such as what a certain race is dealing with as compared to another. It deals with social issues due to the living conditions of a certain race. Class also falls into play as well due to the fact of the different racial groups in each class. :lol:

Considering the diversity of European cultures, let alone the cultures of all white-skinned folk, that kind of renders the term "white" to be meaningless except in terms of skin colour, don't you think?
There is also the problem of borderlines. Are Slavs to be considered "white"? Certainly they haven't always been thought to be so. If you consider Slavs white, what about Georgians?

They're equally different in their respective ways but they still belong to a thing known as European culture... Because even though they each differ-- they all have similarities linking them to the European content and the European people which each nation there makes up.

I draw the line at the point where they're only genetically 'white' to a certain point... Argentinians are a good example of this... Even though certain Argentinians have white skin, they're not 'white'.
Also, a group of White Texans and White Norwegians could likely find similarities between each others culture if they were to look for it.

This is just generalized bullshit! Where I live, in Europe, "racial" issues are stirred up via the right wing media. However, real issues, like class issues, apply to people of all skin colours. For example, on the housing estate I live in, a number of us have been threatened with eviction. Some of us have white skin and some of us have black skin, but the issue affects us as a class of people and colour does not come into it. It is not a separete issue between people of different skin colours--we are not categorized (by our housing authority) by our skin colour, we are in the same boat, with the same issue--what we are categorized by is our inability to pay overdue rent. The only differences between us are our ethnic backgrounds and the colour of our skin, which don't come into play with regards to the problems at hand. Therefore, in this instance (and most others), "race" is not related to our issues as a class. We share the same conditions; geographical, social and in relation to our class and we also share a culture. Some of us just look a bit different, or come from different parts of the world, that's all.

This is where you're wrong, I believe. Human history is not driven by races, it's driven by class conflict. Thus the idea of having pride in the abstract notion of "race" to the point where you think that each race has its own past achievements, glories and what not (and all these are separate from class struggle), then you're basically forgetting and forgoing Marxism. It's class, not race. For example, the notion of someone being "Black" and "white" is a relatively new one. A Slav in 8th century Europe would not see himself as white and a Khoisan in 8th century southern Africa would not see himself as black. The idea of races, in fact, is one created by capitalism. Class struggles create the ideas of race. Advocating pride in your race over class struggle is an essentially reactionary idea -- it means uniting with your white bosses, for example, instead of uniting with all workers.

There is a difference between "pride" for groups that are oppressed, and groups that aren't. There is no male alternative to feminism, or straight pride, because men and heterosexuals don't tend to suffer from oppression.

Getting acknowledged as being just as important is 'pride in your race/culture.' If we're to celebrate every race/culture we must take pride in each race/culture for its achievements, thoughts and standpoints. You're confusing the word achievement into meaning something that it isn't its simply things that the culture has done previously and you can link yourself back to it based on heritage. :rolleyes:

If you had read what I had said previously, I fully welcome and expect pride in other cultures such as African, Hispanic and so on, just as I have pride in White Culture.
Its not a 'pride type movement' its pride in their respective culture. If you had read I was not pushing a power esque movement of White Culture being better than any other culture... What I have and continue to push however is pride in White Culture due to the fact that I am White and White Culture makes an important impact on my life.

Race is quite real and represents many differences due to genetics between each race. There are genetic differences between Africans, Whites and other races.

What is "white culture"? What about it makes you proud?
White pride has no use, because white people are not being oppressed or being made to abandon their culture (although I'm not really convinced that there is such a thing as "white culture"). A pride movement is typically to protect a minority from being oppressed. For example, most homosexuals generally do not think that being gay is something to be proud of (someone's sexuality is a part of them, but it's not something that one can change), but gay pride is a movement that fights for people that aren't straight to get recognition as equals in society.

White Culture is a systematic series of culture that has been put out by Whites. I feel pride into it due to the fact that it is apart of my heritage. Apart of a racial line that I am too apart of. :)
This seems to be a rather Third Worldist thought on racial pride... I say this due to the fact that you simply focus on oppression instead of heritage and being proud of where you have come from, which is what White Pride is about.
You're also confusing a pride movement with being proud of heritage and its culture. :lol:

If I must say so myself, it was quite a good definition. :lol:
From what I understand of your poorly worded fucktard-post, you seem to be confusing the achivements of a variety of cultures and nations who happen to be white, with some giant-hemogenous 'white culture', I'd like to see you explain how the achivements of the beaker people is remotely related to the development of nuclear physics.
And the very fact that they're White places them into White Culture. :rolleyes:

White Culture is a systematic series of culture that has been put out by Whites. I feel pride into it due to the fact that it is apart of my heritage. Apart of a racial line that I am too apart of. :)
This seems like a bit of a cop-out answer. What aspects of this "systematic series of culture" are you especially proud of? Why are you proud of what your ancestors did when you played no part in it? You could have been born to anyone, anywhere. Your "racial line" (whatever you mean by that) isn't something to be proud of. Being born white is a coincidence. I'm not proud to be white because I don't see something you're born with as anything to be proud of.
This seems to be a rather Third Worldist thought on racial pride... I say this due to the fact that you simply focus on oppression instead of heritage and being proud of where you have come from, which is what White Pride is about.
You're also confusing a pride movement with being proud of heritage and its culture. :lol:
White pride is different to any other kind of pride, because white people in various parts of the world, with their various cultures (because there is no homogenous "white culture") have not had to fight to find an identity and build a culture in a place that they were not accepted.

But anyway, you've repeatedly dodged the question of what exactly it is about "white culture" you're proud of. You haven't even given a satisfactory definition of what you consider to be white culture.
And by the way, "white" is an adjective, and "race", "culture" and "ancestry" are not proper nouns.

I agree. Imo, being white is nothing to be ashamed of, nor is being black, hispanic, asian, or anything. We must embrace the fact that we are different, and look back into our heritages with pride. With this said, we should not let our diversity get in the way of us moving forward as a human race. And some white people make the rest of us look like them. Nazis, Aryans, KKK, fuck them all. There is a difference between white pride and white power.
TL: DR
Being proud of your heritage - ok, as long as you realize that every human being is equal

sure being interested in white european history is okay, being of the same ethnicity or nation of those white european nation may trigger interests in such a culture because schools usually teach modern history of the country and not as much of the world.
unlike what some stormfronters say, nobody on the left is ashamed of being white, though he may be ashamed of what some of his ancestors did. it is no good to be ashamed of what they did since you did not personally do it but the fact that you and such descendants still profit off the crimes that happened a long time ago still means you have some responsibility to take about the issue.
fact is, this thread is useless and based on false premise, the line is crossed when you want to preserve white culture and restrict immigration to europeans, knowing the history of the nation you come from is no crime.
also it should be noted that people can look up their genealogy and what their ancestors did can be interesting and spark curiosity on anyone's culture.

Colour of the skin is caused by genetics, but how do genetics give people a common culture? The different genetics arose as an adaptaion to different climates in different areas of the world. Your genes are nothing to be proud of. You didn't choose them or do anything to deserve the set of genes you were born with. It was an accident, get over it.
What even is "white culture" and why won't you answer that question? I suspect it's because you can't really define it properly.

Lulznet, perhaps you should attempt to define properly and coherently the concept you are trying to defend before you invoke it in discussion, no?
But let me see if I can work out how exactly you conceive "race" based on what you have posted so far:
Race however influences several things in culture such as how a certain group acts.
So one's "racial" makeup influences their culture and therefore their behavior? Ok, but how? You say "race" is predicated on genetics here:
I draw the line at the point where they're only genetically 'white' to a certain point...
So I can only come to the conclusion that, in your view, "race" is a group of persons who share similar physical characteristics and cultural/behavioral tendencies, all of which are determined by their genetic makeup. So blacks, for example, act a certain way because of genes in your view, no?
Clarify it for me if I have it all wrong. But if my reading is accurate, then you may want to consider membership at the stormfront forum, instead of this place.

Race is quite real and represents many differences due to genetics between each race. There are genetic differences between Africans, Whites and other races.
there is more genetic variation within races than between them.

I don't see how any showing of being white can be pushed into the barriers of racism. Especially when other Ethnic pride movements are constantly pushed into the left and supported. :(
Is there truly anything wrong with being white? Should I be ashamed to be white? I think not... Should someone be ashamed to be their race? No they shouldn't, they should be proud to be who they are. And apart of who they are includes race.
Me? I'm White, so I overly look at issues from a white standpoint... I'm almost certain that this would be done as well by someone of a different ethnic background.
I know I'm likely to get flamed for making a thread like this and likely banned due to the fact that it won't be responded to well due to the fact that what I'm saying could be considered 'racist'. So I'm just going to make it known that not only am I not encouraging racism but I'm just looking for whites to accept their racial identity as whites, just as blacks are able to accept their racial identity as blacks. :)
We shouldn't have racial identity. It is a false construct. That being said, I do not think anyone should be ashamed of the color of their skin. Or proud for that matter.
Whites do not represent a homogeneous interest group, and neither do Blacks, Browns, Gays, Men, Women, etc. The idea of accepting racial identity implies that working class Whites have anything in common with bourgeois Whites. Do you really think the bourgeoisie gives a fuck about our skin color?

i don't understand this one, some anarchist guy on youtube (buddaghem i think) said there is more genetical difference between a tall and a small man than between 2 person of different race but of same height. is that what you mean? i think it is a good argument but then again there is not only skin color but face structure and certain genetical diseases which are different even if they are of the same height.

yes but just about anything is created by society, and the welsh were proud of what they were, including their appearance, so white skin is included in that. welsh were proud of the unique face they had, compared to the bloody frog looking frenchman.

Alright.
Before this thread is locked, I want to include this entry.
1. It is meaningless to talk about race as some form of cultural manner, since what is affecting people's perception of their surrounding world is the social group they are being brought up with.
2. Race come with some differences regardless of skin colour. For example are many East Asians intolerant of milk. Hence, these medical differences cannot be ignored for political conveniency due to the fact that they could even mean the difference between life and death for a person who is hospitalised and in need for medication.
3. The studies showing that people have different IQ's after what race they belong to are flawed, and IQ is not a good way of measuring intelligence since it is dependent on stimulation from the outside world which simply cannot be acquired in certain environments.
4. Even if blacks in general had lower IQ than other races, that would not constitute a reason to discriminate them. People should be judged after their individual capabilities, not the capabilities of any random group they belong to.
5. Even if there was no human race and all human beings originally were put here from different planets, it would still not be any justification to seclude groups from one another or trying to wipe out groups.
6. I cannot understand people who want to derive pride from what "race", "religion" or fan club they belong to. That says nothing about themselves apart from the identity they project on the world.
7. Ethnopluralism is building on the false foundation that human beings foremost identify themselves as members of ethnic groups, races or cultures, and that the majority of human beings intrinsically want to become a part of a greater ethnic "we".
8. The only reason why (clever) nazis today call themselves ethnopluralists or identitarians is that the situation is different from the 1930's today. The colonies are free, racism is not a state ideology but on the contrary politically unacceptable in most countries, and the capitalist class is not supporting ethno-supremacism any more due to the fact that the capitalist class is increasingly dependent on production scattered in all parts of the world. If society was more susceptible to racism, certainly they would speak their heart out.
