White American (proud to be...)

[dalegg 143]

There's plenty of days, months, etc. for Europeans, but it's been popular thusfar to just bash blacks and how we need a White History Month.

There are months especially for Europeans? Maybe the cold ones.

So then what exactly is your definition of a "European" culture?

Do we need a month - when we have national European-derived traditions going back to the founding of this country?

Okay, we should all spend a month going on strike so we can all have 30 hour work weeks while we complain about how America has screwed up the world.

We have Black History Month because in general there isn't a black cultural identity that can be traced back to a particular nation/s of origin. Its might be a crude way of doing it... but as we have no Zimbabwean or Kenyan pride celebrations - its the easy alternative.

I can't say that I feel particularly opressed or discriminated against for it existing... Can anyone?

That will only work if there's McDonalds, AC's, bowflexes, ####### enlargement pills, an eat-a-3/4-pound-cheeseburger-on-your-couch diet/weight loss plan floating around.

Care to actually answer the question though?

I don't have a definition of a "European" culture. Why do you ask?

european culture = drinking lots of booze, taking loads of holidays and eating wacky food

'Round these parts we do! Well, maybe just Senegalese pride day, because there aren't terribly large populations of folks from other African countries in Pawtucket, except for Liberians. Three weekends ago it was Cape Verdean pride/independence day. Last weekend the Colombian festival. And in two weeks, the Greek festival. And all this in a small city of 70,000.

I wouldn't have it any other way, have never felt uncomfortable being white in this city, and certainly don't see the problem with any of these celebrations...nor do I feel persecuted for other cultures holding celebrations/educational opportunities about their traditions and roots.

I don't quite know what kinds of things that white people would celebrate on a white pride day...the closest thing I could think of might be the huge county fairs in Maine and Vermont (both mighty white states).

But if you want to continue making yourself look like a prat by claiming to know more about me than I do, please be my guest.

You seldom mention anything about yourself. Even when you have the same arguments with others and they ask the same questions; which you never answer.

Therefore one can assume.

He's been pretty open about where he lives. You just don't pay attention.
