Why is it that mexicans are allowed to show pride in their race and blacks in theirs but if I show pride?

Question

in mine its racist. I think we should be proud of our accomplishments not of our race.

Answer 1

You can thank the politicians for starting all this crapola trying to get the minority votes. JFK started with his equal rights stuff. Do you really think he cared sitting on his millions? No he didn't but he figured if he could be a hero to the minorities he would be a shoe in for elections. He got what he deserved and left the nation scarred forever and his own race screwed. It is fine to have the NAACP but we are racists if we belong the the NAAWP

Answer 2

It goes without saying.

Answer 3

I agree that there is really no sense in racial pride.

Everyone should just be proud of their own selves

and their personal accomplishments and positive

qualities and not the color of their skin.

Races don't exist.

Answer 4

I am not that concerned about my whiteness. I don't really feel proud or ashamed of whiteness. I don't need to. I am just a person who lives my life and feels OK most of the time. If there were a white pride day or month it wouldn't really affect me. Whether or not it was politically correct I don't really think I would care. Even if the Democrats decided it was a great thing for socialism and multiculturalism I doubt I would show up for the parades. Of course a lot of people see St.Patrick's day as Irish day and I don't mind having a few drinks wearing green. I am 1/8 Irish. Then you have Wurstfest, I am 1/4 German, so I don't mind having some sausage and good German ale. Wait, what were we talking about?

Answer 5

mexicans aren't a race

Answer 6

I think that as soon as all races gives up the ideal of "racial pride", the sooner we will all as a nation and a world be on our way to improved people relationships.

Answer 7

I agree with the first...Mexicans aren't a race..nor are blacks. We all come from different cultures. America just labels people to divide us. Having pride in yourself should have nothing to do with race.

Answer 8

so true,by using race it helps to divide us all,i think large groups use race to gain control,and to have a power base..certain politicians and political parties rely on using race to get votes.

Answer 9

I think that you are confused about what you are trying to say

there is nothing wrong with a white person saying they love being white....nothing at all......it is wrong when a white person says that being white is the best in the whole world and that every one else is inferior becuase they are not white

do you get it???........so, go ahead and have a party because you love your "race".........nothing is wrong with that at all

I think we all should celebrate each other....that would be great

Answer 10

Mexican isn't a race. Tell me your ethnicity and I guarantee I can point you in the way of a club/organization for it. Black people use their race as a substitute for their ethnic pride as we don't know what part of Africa we come from, as that information was taken from us when the slaves were brought to this hemisphere. Do you feel better now?

Answer 11

If anyone call you racist for being proud of your heritage, they're the racists. Don't worry about them. They're not worth it.

Answer 12

Why is it that Mexicans are allowed to show pride in their race and blacks in theirs but if I show pride?

It's called the racism and racial hypocrisy that comes from Political Correctness that's always aimed  towards white people in America. This will stop when more white people start taking a stand against it and the Left wing cockroaches who bully white people with it.

Blacks can march down the street in any American city with their black this and their black that and even call for the death whitey  like they do on many college Universities and white Liberal cowards will say nothing and do nothing that might even join in who knows. The White race has no greater enemy then the White Left. The White Left is nothing but a racial bully against whites and is an agent in their own people's racial and cultural destruction.

Answer 13

if you said you were proud to be american or whatever you are i wouldnt have a problem with that

so what are you complaining about exactly

Answer 14

You can be proud all you want.  Have at it and quit whining.

Answer 15

I agree with you to a extent. But you are wrong about mexicans being a race & Litterll is right about the KKK. Additionally, where I'm form white people show pride in their heritage all the time. We have a Oktoberfest that celebrates the Germans heritage, a Ireland Festival, The italians have a little somthing in another state though, and also a Renaissance festival. Do some reserach in your community and find out some things you may be surprised.  

Answer 16

That is properly the dumbest thing i have heard.

How can u be proud of your race?? Did u choose it? No!

You cannot be proud of something that u have ABSOLUTELY no control over.

You can be proud of your accomplishments. Dnt let ppl tell u otherwise.

Answer 17

i agree.......i mean some of the hispanic countries are so proud that they have riots over futbol(soccer)games, or have the mexican flag on their vehicle......really i try not to let other people get me down when trying to be proud of where i come from.  

Answer 18

Mexican is a nationality just like American not a race!

http://racialreality.110mb.com/hispanics...

Anthropologically there are  five racial groups in the Human Species. They can be found here:

http://racialreality.110mb.com/racesofma...

There are subgroups to these races; these are generally known as Ethnic or tribal groups.

People please note that words have very specific meanings and apparently our school system is no longer teaching people to use vocabulary correctly. If you wish to contribute to peoples knowledge rather  than to their confusion you need to correctly use both vocabulary and English sentence structure.

Answer 19

HOLY ****! i'm so tired of this. why can't you be proud of yourself and your race? i mean.., everyone else is doing it?

do it if you want to do it. why the h**l are you going to let people call you a racist if you're not? i always hear, black people are allowed to do this. in reality, we aren't allowed anything that no one else isn't also allowed. so get over yourself. if you want to be proud of your race and all of that, go ahead, but don't mask your fears and c**p behind a "it would be racist" front. do it if you want to do it.

Answer 20

First off: don't listen to anyone who says Mexican isn't a race, they're dead wrong. Mexicans are a mix of Mayans and Spaniards.

Secondly, it's always dumb to be proud of anything that has nothing to do with achievement, this isn't a genetic lotto. But as far as whites being persecuted for pride in their race, I don't think that's true one bit. I see lots of people openly proud to be Irish, English, German, French or what have you...

Answer 21

Asked and answered over and over and over and over again

Answer 22

White people do show pride in there race, thats why they have the KKK.

Its the KKK who make it look bad for white people showing pride in there race. As soon as y'all are having pride for yourselves people will think y'all are racist. But you guys don't show pride racially but you do show pride ethnic wise, like Italians, Irish and even Hispanic people, who are white btw.

Answer 23

What is your race? Whatever your race is just be proud, no one is stopping you.
