1) “White” is not a culture or heritage. “White” is not something to be proud of.”

White people come from Europe, which is filled with vast culture and heritage. OP, and everyone of European descent, has every right to be proud of their European heritage.

Here are just a few examples of culture from a few countries in Europe:

France:

England:

Germany:

Ireland:

Italy:

I could add more from each country above and show more from many other countries in Europe, but that would take far too long. People with ancestry from anywhere in Europe have every right to be proud of their heritage!

2) Out of the 10.7 million African slaves that survived the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, only about 388,000 slaves came to America. The majority of the slaves went to the Caribbean and South America, with Brazil receiving 4.86 million Africans alone. Yet, people don’t make South Americans feel bad for this at all. (x)

3) I hope you realize that every race has had slaves and conquests, not just white people. “For instance, the very word “slave” stems from “Slav,” i.e. a reference to the experience of millions of (white) Slavish people who endured centuries of slavery at the hands of African Muslims.” (x) 

Perhaps you know about the Barbary Slave trade, where millions of white people were enslaved and treated horrendously.

“[Ohio State University history professor Robert] Davis estimates that 1 million to 1.25 million white Christian Europeans were enslaved in North Africa, from the beginning of the 16th century to the middle of the 18th, by slave traders from Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli alone (these numbers do not include the European people which were enslaved by Morocco and by other raiders and traders of the Mediterranean Sea coast), and roughly 700 Americans were held captive in this region as slaves between 1785 and 1815. 16th- and 17th-century customs statistics suggest that Istanbul’s additional slave import from the Black Sea may have totaled around 2.5 million from 1450 to 1700.” 

“While African slaves did grueling labor on sugar and cotton plantations in the Americas, European Christian slaves were often worked just as hard and as lethally – in quarries, in heavy construction, and above all rowing the corsair galleys themselves.”

(x) (x) (x)

Muslims in Arab countries still to this day own slaves. (x) They have enslaved over 150 million African people and at least 50 million from other parts of the world. (x)

Also, North Korea sends thousands upon thousands of their own people abroad as slaves. (x)

4) Racism towards white people exists, whether you choose to believe it or not. This is the definition of racism:

That’s what racism is, not your made up definition of it. It can happen towards any race, including whites.

Hate crimes towards white are extremely common throughout the world.

Here are just a few examples:

The current genocide of the Boer in South Africa (x)

The Knoxville Horror (x)

The Pearcy Massacre (x)

Detroit man who murdered two white teens declares ‘black lives matter’ during sentencing (x) (x)

The refugee rape crisis against Europeans (x) (x) (x) (x) (x)

The Wichita Massacre (x) (x)

Criminal beats two white men to death (x)

17-year-old boy kills white man (x)

Two black teens attack woman and kill her 13-month-old son (x) (x)

9-year-old kills himself after being bulled for being white (x) (x)

Blacks murder more whites than whites murder blacks (x)

I could go on and on about other violent attacks against whites, but hopefully you get the point. Many of these attacks aren’t ever heard of for numerous reasons, the main one being the fact that non-whites kill white people even more than white people kill non-whites destroys the ridiculous politically-correct ideas that white privilege exists and that you can’t be racist towards whites.

TLDR;

Being white is nothing to be ashamed of. Our European heritage is filled with rich culture and is something to be proud of.

Every race is guilty of crimes, yet white people are the only ones who are taught to feel bad.

Whites were slaves too, and were treated just as badly if not worse than African slaves.

Attacks against white people are extremely common, but everyone ignores them. You can be racist towards whites.

THANK YOU. JUST. THANK YOU.

Here let me help you.

 Racism: 

noun

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.

Not only that but you did not use any actual facts nor did you provide any links. You have made yourself look idiotic, arguing against a giant post full of examples, facts, and links to back them up. You can claim that white people have never experienced racism all you want, but I can assure you my own experiences contradict that opinion. Everyone can experience racism and everyone can be racist. Most people aren’t racist. However, people, like you are not helping prevent the racism that does exist in our society. You are perpetuating the idea that white people are completely responsible for slavery and are the only ones who are racist. That is not only wrong but racist itself.

I wish I had the time to go through all of your points and debunk them, but sadly I have three essays to write and a broken car that needs to be taken down to the shop. 

my guy, dictionary definitions arent an universal truth and shouldn’t be used in an argument as they were written by a person, who is subject to their own biases

buddy if u think me pointing out bullshit is racism agains white peeps it just goes to show how u dont know what racism is, let alone how it works

*ahem*

“I wish I had the time to go through all of your points and debunk them”

so egdy, also good luck

“Everyone can experience racism and everyone can be racist. Most people aren’t racist”

No to both lmao, white people who are in positions of power over PoC cant be victims of racism, and boy oh boy, I’d say 100% of people are racist, me included, although I at least try not to be and be mindful of what I say about other PoC from different ethnicities, u on other hand…

“You are perpetuating the idea that white people are completely responsible for slavery and are the only ones who are racist”

I never said any of that but okay

“You have made yourself look idiotic, arguing against a giant post full of examples, facts, and links to back them up”

except most of those links are just reports of white people being victims of crimes, 10/10 links right there lmao, should I spam links about black people being murdered too? I bet I can get more links about black people unjustly killed by cops(who werent arrested) than the ammount of links in that post

the only ones that are worth any mention are the “boer genocide” aka africans fighting back against farmers of europeans heritage who took their lands long time ago, similar thing happens in brazil, farmers invade native lands and whine about how violent the natives are for fighting back =^/

AND the one about how “blacks murder more whites than whites murder blacks” which is a half truth, most crimes are committed against people of the aggressors race, the difference between the numbers of black people(not “blacks) killing white peeps is minimal

“OH WHAT ABOUT PERCENTAGES” u’d say, well how about the way PoC are driven to crime at much higher rates as a direct consequence of slavery, racial segregation and overall racism in former european colonies =^/ and the fact that white peeps greatly outnumber black people

French =/= white. Italian =/= white. British =/= white. German =/= white.

You can celebrate your heritage, your Germanic roots, your 45% Celtic 35% Swedish 20% Polish identity, but none of those are inherently white & WHITENESS is a social construct that is neither a source of pride nor a culture on its own.

& I forgot to shit on the sources.

1. The situation in South Africa is not “a white genocide strictly bcos of the farmers’ skin color!!!!” What you’re conveniently omitting is that white people, all white people, & their descendants in Africa are COLONIZERS who literally injected themselves into the African government & perpetuate racism against the native inhabitants of Africa to this day.

While I’m not in any way condoning actual murder, you need to understand that this is happening NOT because white people are being attacked for their skin color. White people literally stole the land they are farming, uprooted the people & now the people are retaliating against legitimate colonialism. The farmers could be fucking purple & they would still be attacked because they are colonists who enacted fucking apartheid on a continent they didn’t belong to.

2. Yes, white people were murdered. No, random people being (horrifically) tortured & murdered does not equal racism.

3. The link isn’t working.

4. Individual cases like this one do not equate to racism. Violent prejudice, absolutely, but not racism. Racism is a system, it is ingrained, it comes with the exploitation of marginalized people.

The murderer was sentenced (appropriately) to life in prison.

5. European =/= white. Yes, the rape crisis is absolutely horrifying beyond words. No, white women are not being specifically targeted.

6. The link you provided literally describes the murders as random. White people died but they weren’t even targeted specifically for their whiteness. You can’t even make a case for prejudice here but yknow.

7. This link also describes the murders as random violence.

How does random white people dying = racism just wondering?

8. This link describes a case of manslaughter in which a Black boy punched a white man who died from brain injury when his head hit the pavement.

The white victim was out on the streets during a riot & he was trying to put out a fire. Yes, the kid’s actions were violent toward a random stranger who was just trying to do some good. No, that doesn’t = racial bias or the purposeful murder of a white man for the color of his skin.

9. This link is about attempted robbery & murder, not a racial killing.

Consider refraining from invoking the names of victims just bcos they’re white & you think it means they were killed for being white mayhaps.

10. The second link includes tags like “islamization of Europe” & “Muslim students who have overrun school” within the article so…yikes. Bias is one thing, but to link an actual white supremacist Islamophobe? That’s a whole new level, bud.

Aaron’s suicide is heartbreaking. It brings me to tears every time I read about this kid, not even into double digits yet, being bullied so relentlessly & feeling that his school officials couldn’t protect him (they failed miserably to do even the bare minimum) that he hanged himself. I will never ever deny that.

Yes, the Asian gang members who bullied him & threatened him were prejudiced against Aaron.

Again, individual cases of racial prejudice =/= racism. I was bullied by Asian kids in grade school bc I was among a handful of non-Asian kids & being Latin@ made me stick out. But my experience with racial prejudice =/= racism.

Racism is a system. Racism is the exploitation of marginalized people. It is oppression & privilege that comes from oppression.

11. JFC lmao downtrend, townhall & Ann Coulter are incredibly conservative, biased sources. Like. That’s really gonna be your Ultimate Proof?
