Are you ever ashamed of your race?

i disagree. i've lived all over the usa, and i've loved almost all of it. it's all my home. you, not having a home, would likely feel differently from myself, and that's fine. but this nation is my home. that means i occaisionally have to throw down with my family and fight to make it better place. i can give it my energy, because i love it. taking out the garbage and fighting with your family is just home life.

 

But how can you say that you love it here without trying to live anywhere else? It's all just land, and these are all just countries.

The problem is created when your love for your country surpasses your love for humanity, or for other people... which is extremely common in the US.

This so called "Patriotism", or pride in being an American, puts Americans up on a pedestal ontop of the rest of the world... claiming superiority, and acting accordingly.

People love America, which means that they don't love the rest of the world, or at least love it less... and that's no good.

I'm not talking about you specifically KC, you're a hip cat, and you got them brains man, them brains... you know what's going on.

But 99% of the population truly doesn't, and all this pride is slowly destroying the world.

 

i am not ashamed of my race. i am ashamed of my species... id rather be a ferrel cat.

 

I don't consider any race to be bad. I consider the cultures to be bad. I don't think that because you're black-that means your "kind" promote violence and are the "bad guys"

I'm not ashamed of any race. What I see on Cops and on the news is pure idiocy of every and any race. It's sad that our country has based a show on our criminals, based off the fact that it is a show that will never die.

 

it's not aobut patriotism and never wanting to live anywhere. i see this whole usa is my home, all the crazy americans are my family. i'm going to pretty much put forth the greatest effort to take care of it. but my family scattered all over the world are well worth spending time with. and when i go to visit my family, i don't trash out their homes and treat them disrespectfully in their own house. i would expect the same for my visitors and new neighbors here, and i'll put myself out to make sure their time with my family is as good and valuable as possible.

i can't help that i love other places a bit less. that doesn't mean that i don't yearn for my other family and want to see and share the places they love.

i hope that makes sense.

 

I can feel shame even if I did nothing wrong... it's my heritage... it's reality. Try being german on for size. How many comments are said to my face just to start an argument? A million. Started with my best friend's dad (an idiot) when I was 16. I felt shame then, not that its right but I am being truthful and saying that people have shamed me.

 

That does make sense, and it's rather beautiful... but, like I said... you're just cool like that KC

 

i know. i can hardly stand myself sometimes.

 

shame - hell no

quite simple...really

 

my ancestors have done absolutely nothing wrong, i don't see the point in being ashamed
i am not ashamed of being white, it is just skin
people tell me ALL THE FUCKING TIME i'm too pale
i can't help it, and i don't give a FUCK!
you can kiss my pale ass if you have a problem with it....however being in the service industry i could never say this to them
i agree completely with duck, and kozmic, and rubin as well, they all made very good points..others too i'm sure i'm forgetting someone

this is such a thing as being too politically correct, and it's a hinderance rather than a positive note in our society

just because i'm white doesn't mean i enslaved africans, just because i'm a white canadian doesn't mean i helped in the destruction of native culture, just because i'm white doesn't make me an arrogant prick, that i can achieve on my own

i am not racist i hate everyone equally, more and more each day
the world is run by stupid people, always has been always will
i can be optimistic but to me optimism and naivety go hand in hand

 

On the subject of race, I've had sex with whites, yellow, and black...

But I have never had a redskin.

Any pure scalp cutters around these parts looking for nookie?

 

Yes, let's all us crackers get together and beat the shit out of one another for our transgressions.

What.The. Fuck.

 

i could probably hook you up with someone.

 

oooh oooh me too??
i love redskins, they're so handsome and rugged

 

Well, I see you've lived all around the world so you must know that every country is diferent and every nation has something that others don't - that diference is the thing you lvoe about your country....(this is the thing I dissagree with you about, rest of your post is ok )

 

I like redskin taters.

 

Loving your country for its differences is one thing... loving your country because it is your country is another.

Seriously?

I want some Pocahontas looking sister.

 

pocahantas never looked like pocahantas. and those are very rare in navajo land, too.

 

Yes, I am ashed to be human.

 

Ok... just find me a pretty skinny girl with feeeaaaathers!
