White Pride?

*Barf*
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I wonder if the ATF would agree with you, Zen. Ahhh, but if I could only find out...
A heretic can dream, though. A heretic can dream~ Rebecca, you can let go of my past any day. ...Hm. That makes no sense even to me, actually....
Many of my ancestors were from Ireland. I have a friend whose ancestors came from Yugoslavia. We are both white but our ancestors were not from the same nation or had the same traditions or culture. Why should I celebrate some generic white pride that has nothing to do with who my ancestors were?
Huh. I'm proud of my heritage and my ancestry. I'm proud of the history before they came to this country. But am I proud to be white? I dunno, I don't think about it. I also don't think about how I'm blonde, and taller than average.
Thinking about it, I'm not sure pride is the right word to describe how I feel. Connected is better. A sense of identity, of continuity, would be a better description. But yeah, I don't get having pride over a genetic accident. Like having pride over having two arms. So what? And forming an in-group based on it is even more illogical. |
