Am I allowed to be proud of my race and heritage, without being considered a racist pig if I'm white?
It seems all of a sudden I am supposed to apologize for being white, well eff you I'm not sorry. I dont feel the slightest bit guilty or ashamed for being white, I am just glad I am.
Even on ATS it seems you are not allowed to be proud to be white, when this thread gets trashed you will see what I mean.
Why can everyone else say they are proud of their race without being racist. A white man says it and bam hes the KKK.
I have never been racist and I treat everyone the same, and sure as hell don't have any white privilege (whatever the f that is).
So is it racist now to be proud to be white?

Isn't it strange that when black people take white people's things and make them their own [putting their stamp on it], they are called creative and they are admired for including their culture etc.
But when white people do this to black people's things, we are called racist or [in music] we stole their ideas.
I'm talking generally, fashion, music, styles.
That has always wound me up.
If you really look at it from a distance, white people have bend over backwards not to be racist, because we have come to understand that it is wrong. There are laws and regulations etc [forget that some people will still be racist regardless, individuals still have a right to think what they want - on both sides]. The Brits stopped slavery, you are shunned or arrested if you even say the wrong thing. Yet black people still have a go at us. What more apart from killing ourselves can we do to please?
I feel almost hopeless that none of our effort is being appreciated. It's like when someone says sorry and MEANS IT and the other person just won't accept it and keeps going on.
The outcome will usually be a "Well suit yourself then."
