Proud to be white?

Now, i am willing to bet that almost any single one of you that just read the title of that post automatically assumed i was being racist...wrong. This is what is wrong with our world and why there is still racism present. There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc...any one of them could walk down the street and give me a dirty look and call me "whiteboy" "cracker" or "honkey" and it is ok, but as soon as a white person says the word "nigger" or "chink" we are all of a sudden racist. They have the United Negro College Fund, they have Black History Month, they have BET and those are all ok. If we were to start a college fund that only white people could get, we'd be racist, if we had white history month, we'd be racist, if we had WET (white entertainment television)...we'd be racist. If we had any organization to help only white people, we'd be racist. Now, as for the picture...any other race on the planet can be proud of their race and proclaim it to the world, but as SOON as someone says they are proud to be white, they are racist...i understand why this symbol is inappropiate and is not something tou be flaunting about, i am in no way related or have any affiliation with the people who run and organize "white power, and white pride" sites and groups, i understand that these people are not only proud to be white but do not think that any other races should exist and blah blah...yes its bad...but thats not what this is about. A black man can announce that he is proud to be black and everyone says "good for him", but if a white man announces that he is proud to be white he is shunned from society and labelled as a racist. Why is it then only white people can be racist, i am proud..but i am not racist, i live in canada which is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world and have many friends who are of different races.This double standard needs to stop, i am not saying that black people should not be allowed to be proud to be black, they should be, everyone should be allowed to be proud of their race, Chinese people should be proud, spanish people should be proud, why cant white people be proud to be white?...if someone can come up with a good logical answer as to why I as a white man cannot be proud to be white without automatically being a racist, then i commend you and would gladly remove this post from my blog...until then, it stands...i am proud to be white
