It has everythingto do with attitudes over the past 200 years in this country. the only people who are caucasian that generally show any pride in their "white heritage are racists.
The funny thingis, there is no real "white history" in this country. we are all mixes of so many countries, it is impossible to nail down any real ethnic group for a lot of us. Personally i am (in order from greatest to leat):
German
Irish
English
Scottish
French
Portuguese
Italian
Kinda hard to pick one to have "pride" in, especially the german part.. that would get me labeled as a nazi in no time.
There is this stupid movement inthis country where a lot of us "who have had everythign handed to us" people are getting really whiny. I dont beleive in the whoel white guilt thing, i have never done a thing to any one of any race because of their race. if i was rude or mean, its because they sucked as a person.
These days, unless you are an older person who was around for the 60s, you really have to get over the whole white/black thing (for starters). i have known as many whiet people get shit for being white as i have black people who got shit for being black. its wrong either way.
We just need to get over it. I AM tired of getting treated as an exception because of what people who looked like me did for a few hundred years, but i wasnt one of them. If soemone wants to start a "white club" i have a few suggestions:
Its not funny, so if you are being a smartass, stop it.
If you ARE a racist, put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger; you will never be happy do give up on life.
if you are really that naive, get some councilling. There is a real world outside your doorstep.
If you REALLY just want to revel in your white heritage, get OVER it...the odds of you having a direct lineage is almost impossible, so why not just be happy being you, and join a chess club?
