    Be proud you walk on 2 feet instead of 4, and stop pretending you're not hung up on a color.

    Because you claim to be proud of being white it inherantly makes you racist. You distinguish yourself according to your race. This means you're racist. What on earth is there to be proud of about the colour of your skin? It's a ridiculous concept.

    If you're leading with the fact that you're proud to be white, you probably sound like a racist; that's what white supremacists say all the time. No one's saying you should be ashamed of it, but why is it an issue ?

    I fail to see how this is racist. A lot of people are proud of their race, or heritige. To be racist you would have to think you are superior, and another race is inferiour based on nothing else but race alone.

    I'm proud of having English, Irish, and German ancestors, but I'm not proud of being white because white isn't a cultural heritage. I've also got some Native American in me, but I'm not proud of being a red man because redskin is not a cultural heritage. It's a stereotype.

    You have to understand that the world is full of double standards.
    You being white, is one of them. You see, any other race can say that they are proud of who they are and that is fine, but the white people who are proud are racist.

    It is the same as when a minority does not get a job that they want, they cry racism and the companies are forced to put the minority person in that job even if that person is NOT qualified.

    It is not the "best person" for the job, it is the "best minority person" for that job.

    So you will have to learn about this and try to remember it or you will have endless problems like you are now.

    1)No one in positions of power have ever made whites as a group feel "less than" for being white---mainly because most in those positions of power have been white themselves. 2) Companies (mostly white run, because of that white privilege, again) had to be forced to even give minories an equal opportunity. Before, they didn't even have to interview, no matter how qualified the minority person was. 3) White racists generally assume that if a minority person got the job he/she took it from a more qualified white person. In their racist viewpoint, the white person couldn't possibly have been less qualified---he was white, after all. The fact is, whites have had and still have privileges that minorities do not. And racism still exists; even if most minorities have crumbs (Obama and Oprah are just two people) some whites will still resent not having the entire pie anymore.
