Subject: white studies

All of this is rather new to me, a Euro-American of Scots-Irish descent, . . . a five generation Native American of the Celtic tribe.

Some early preliminary thoughts come to mind.

Black Studies, Latino Studies and Women's studies are positive-oriented and dwell on the creative thought, writing, art, etc —in short the contributions the members of these and other hyphenated groups have made to the world. White studies seems to have othermotivations — "semester-long dissections of white culture," as onewriter put it. Minority and women's studies are "uplifting," white studies are to stamp us out or at least demonize. Frightening, really. Image the hell-raising if such negative stereotyping were directed at them.

The agenda seems to include:

a.) How agressive and exploitive the white race is — in particular in the last few hundred years when the entire history of the planet is one of one race or another, one tribe or another, one religion or another displacing another because the invader was stronger, smarter, more mobile, more imaginative, or more technologically advanced.

The so-called white race, that is, the current state of the members of Western European civilization, are condemned for having been the victors centuries ago, rather than the victims, in the 20,000 to 40,000 years of ceaseless human conflict. Many of those conflicts were between peoples who never heard of the white race.

Attempts were made, by the way, to enslave European by Mongols,Turks, Moors, and others, but shamelously, whites prevaled against the oppressors and would-be oppressors.

African monarchs, particularly Shaka Zulu, exploited African people ona scale no white man could imagine. One could almost believe that it is much better, okay even, to be enslaved, exploited, tortured and murdered by someone of your own skin color than by an "outsider."

b.) How guilty we should feel about being white in light of the terrible things some peoples ancesters did long ago. I do not feel that anyone of any race can take credit for the things some historic person of the same race did, nor is anyone responsible for the terrible things other people have done in generations past. Otherwise, Blacks, Latinos,and Asians, are also responsible for terrible things their own people did long ago. All of which, In my view is ridiculous.

It appears that we "non-existant" white people now need to examine carefully all discussion of race, all attempts to change formerly "bad"things to good and change formerly "good" things to bad, and all efforts at political and social change and view them the context of a possible agenda to disassemble our Judeo-Christian & Western culture. Some time back, one might have thought that dillusional, but now it seems that at least some people truly are out to get us, and aren't particularly secretive about it.

Without alarm or hate, it appears that as many white people as possible must be calmly, but firmly alerted to what the proponents, including the new white Uncle Toms, of this pernicious would-be holocaust have in mind for us — before it is too late and we become the new oppressed.

And speaking of the White Uncle Toms, can one even begin to imagine are turn of black denigration of their own race 50 and 100 years ago, returning to the 21st century in the form of white self-loathing? May whites some day have to go through a new and more positive white studies program, cultural-oriented holidays, moments in white history television spots and white hero holidays to re-acquaint ourselves withour history, culture and positive values? Skin darkener and instant nappy-hair anyone?

I was very gratified to come upon your website and I plan soon to subscribe to your publication. I am a 65+ mother and grandmother of an interracial family. I have read some of the "interracial" and "multiracial" websites with interest but an disturbed that alot of their writers seem to have hidden political agendas. I get tired of their railing at "white liberals" and they do not seem able to distinguish between a liberal and a stalinist. I am an Irish-American, married to a Nigerian and have three middle-aged children. I lived in Nigeria for 33 years and have had my own problems re-adjusting to American society where race atters so much - it means very little in Nigeria or West African in general. It is not part of the people's culture to discriminate on the basis of color.

Please keep up the good work and keep me informed.

Dear Center for the Study of White Culture,
Hello. I am a white man, 24, and I found your website to be very interesting, educational, and refreshing. As someone who has been inspired by various cultures within the USA and has long felt that being sensitive to the role of race is something important, I really enjoyed stumbling upon your website. I intend to read and learn more.

Reading your quotes page has pointed me in the direction of some good reading, without a doubt, particularly August Meier's quotes. It's an excellent page.

I did want to bring to your attention (it probably is already is, but I just wanted to know...) the work of Billy "Upski" Wimsatt, whose books " Bomb the Suburbs" (that's bomb as in graffiti, not as in explosion) and " No more Prisons" are two excellent books by a young (early 20's) that deal with topics that you also deal with. I just thought it was an important connection to make, And he has some quotes that may do well on your quotes page.

Thank you for doing what you do. It's definitely inspiring and very necessary.

Sincerely,
Jake Freeman

At the site for the Center for the Study of White American Culture is a"definition" of racism by Dr. Helan Enoch Page.

This "definition" of racism is an example of the sort of material to be found at this site. It is an almost incomprehensible tangle of run-onsentences, phrases, and internal contradictions. I am providing a summary of it and following that with comments. It is possible to dispute my summary, because the vague, confused nature of the"definition" itself does not allow an unambiguous understanding of it.

Summary: There is a worldwide "racist system" which manages the distribution of material resources. It also manages "symbolic resources". Racism has a structure. It divides men into 3 "racial"categories: "White, Whitened, and Non-white. Racism separates men into strata. In addition to the 3 above, each is also internally stratified.The main criteria of racism are skin color, sex, class, and ethnicity. These criteria are used to create the strata. The "whitened" category is defined by the adoption of typically Western cultural practices. Both"Whites" and "Whitened" populations are provided "privileged" access to resources. "Non-whites" are denied this privileged access. As a result their status falls.

At one time, this "racist" system was based upon obvious traits such as skin color and ethnicity, but it has come to be based upon "ideologicalwhiteness", which Dr. Page seems to equate with Western Civilization/Culture.

The racist ideology is spread by advocates who use political, cultural,and economic power to that end. Non-Western views of the world are disparaged.

Comment: What does manage the distribution of material resources mean? It brings to mind an executive or a board of directors sitting down and allocating resources: "OK, this year India gets 1% of iron ore production, Russia 5%, Finland 1/2%, the US 20%, etc. Of course, the author could mean a system which uses prices to allocate resources to their most economically efficient uses, but somehow one suspects that the picture that Dr. Page has of free enterprise is more closely approximated by the image of the board room than by the "invisible hand"of economic efficiency.

Dr. Page's reference to the management of "symbolic resources" provides a key to understanding what she means by "racism" and by "natural resources". Is there somewhere out there a letter, phoneme, or syllablemine? Or does Dr. Page imagine that a printing press, a television network, a book, or a communication satellite is a resource? Does she think these things are equivalent to a deposit of iron ore? Somehow, one suspects that that is exactly what she thinks.

In the mind of Dr. Page and others of her ilk, cars, television sets,antibiotic drugs, pig iron, and roller ball pens are "natural resources"which have been appropriated by Western/White Civilization and its"Whitened" allies to the detriment of "Non-whites"

This is really a socialist tract in which the definition of racism has been perverted into "racism". "Racism" in this "definition" has come to mean the possession or adoption of typically Western ideology. What is it about "Western Civilization" that so enrages those like Dr. Page?

Western Civilization developed a unique way of looking at the world. It systematized reason. Reason has been used by all civilizations, but only on a sporadic basis. Systematic reason gave the West a huge advantage over all other civilizations and culture. It led to science, technology, free political institutions, and free economic practices. The last is,in its ideal form, called "Free Enterprise" In the imperfect form in which it is practiced, it is called "Capitalism".

The advantages of all of these taken together made the West militarily, technically, and economically superior to non-western cultures. Thosenon-western peoples who have adopted significant portions of Western practices have become more efficient and prosperous. As Dr. Page would say, they have been "whitened". As a result, their prosperity has increased. As Dr. Page would say, they have been allocated more resources.

Essentially, what we have here is the rage of those who cannot make the connection between reason, individual freedom, and the prosperity they together create. As a consequence, they have to create a myth to account for the dire straits of those who continue to wallow in the old irrational, inefficient practices of the past. In the case of Dr. Page and, I suspect, The Center for the Study of White American Culture; this rage produces the myth of Western success and prosperity as a manifestation of "racism".

By Dr. Page's definition, I am an agent of racism and this letter is an act of racial domination.

I enjoyed your site very much and found it very insightful. I am a writer of color who often writes in the voice of a white narrator. When I do this, I have no qualms at all with expressing this voice with the harshest, crudest and ugliest racist and sexist stereotypes I can imagine. I do get criticized at times but surprisingly or not, not for that. I write pulp fiction crime stories and I can be somewhat graphic in my depiction of murder. I have used means of dispatch as various as dismemberment, shooting, burning, hanging, stabbing, etceteras. I also tend to make use of often considered taboo themes such as homosexuality, rape, incest and necrophilia. I sometimes get criticized for that too, but not often. What strikes me mostly is the fact that I consider my work rather mainstream. What am I missing here? Is it the racist component of society at large that allows whites freedom to express and expose inhumanity but does not allow to others except in rare and exceptional cases? Obviously mainstream media is full of death, rape, photos of corpses, and titillatingly graphic details and inferences of the most brutal sex crimes, in both fiction and fact. But when the voice speaking these details is overtly racist, pandering or hateful towards the subject does that suggest that the writer is being less than honest, is not white at all but has an agenda of overthrowing the dominant 'voice'? I would like to know what you think of my novel, "MAN IN A FRAME." I am in the course of my final edit as I write this so I am sending you the URL to my on-line site, "STRAY BULLETS" in the hope garnering feedback. http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Maison/3134/Bullets1.htmPs. I also write in character as Asian and black police officers and criminals, but ironically perhaps or maybe not, you can enlighten me with your criticism, I avoid writing in a female first person although I often make use of transgendered characters and love interests as you will see in one of the stories on the site entitled "FORCED ENTRY," whose protagonist is a gay gunman with a pre-op girlfriend.

I hope you find all of this provocative of discussion and I look forward to hearing from you.

I am an Spaniard writing from Spain. I proposed the term Euro-American ten years ago to an American Magazine and at the same time I proposed the term B.A.S.P. (Black Anglo Saxon Protestant) because if Latins can have any color (overwhelming White in Spain or Argentina. Overwhelming Mulatto in the Dominican Republic. Overwhelming Mestizo and Native in Mexico. Overwhelming Native in Peru and Bolivia) then I thought why we donīt call Anglos to Black, Mulatto and Asian Americans? Of course, they are Anglo-Saxons as Alberto Fujimori is Latin or Spanish. If we talk just about our Race we must remember that  thousands of people of color in America and Argentina have been completely assimilated into the White Race after decades of intermarriage as thousands of whites are and will become black in South Africa. For example a blonde girl like Cameron Diaz claims an Indian origin but she is white. In fact Native Americans are being assimilated at a very high speed as happens with the Japanese who immigrated several decades ago. Both groups marry usually with Whites.  As the French sociologist Emmanuel Todd said in his book "The destiny of immigrants" Japanese-Americans and Native-Americans are being completely assimilated. I am not talking about culture but about race: those Japanese and Indians are now Whites.

I feel sorry for you and hope you will come to realize that white does not neccesarily equaly bad.  Maybe it is people like you and thier attitudes that creates the "angry white male", where one never existed before.  And then you whine about the problems you create. 

Please also note, the greatest superpowers in the world are not controlled by diverse groups (i.e. USA, Russia, China, Japan, England, Germany).  I'm sure you can explain that away with some liberal psyco-babble, but that in no way changes the facts.

Just something to think about.

In the  renewed scandal regarding Thomas Jefferson's and his concubine, Sally Hemings, we must not forget two things: (1) Jeffersondid NOT sire "black" children and (2) their mother was NOT a"black" woman.  Nothing about the Sally Hemings/ ThomasJefferson story makes sense unless the whiteness of the Hemings family is emphasized.

"Negro blood" by itself did not make anyone a slave.  It was the maternal descent rule of  partus sequitur ventremthat enslaved a person - if the maternal slave line was unbroken by legal manumission.  A slaveholder could, legally, have more "negroblood" than his slave.  A legal white man could have more Negro blood than a so-called light mulatto who would be legally white if hewere manumitted.    The latter was possible because the generalSouthern rule was to establish one-eighth or less "Negro blood"as the dividing line between "white" and"mulatto."   Even this could be modified by suchthings as reputation, acceptance by the local white community, property ownership, etc.  Hard as it may be for persons raised on "onedrop" mythology to believe, a person classified as a "mulatto slave" would, if manumitted and one-eighth or less black, legally become a free white person rather than a "free colored." As Thomas Jefferson, himself stated:

Our canon considers two crosses with the pure white, and a third with any degree of mixture, however small, as clearing the issue of the Negroblood.  But observe, that this does not reestablish freedom, which depends on the condition of the mother, the principle of the civil law, partus sequitur ventrem being adopted here.

It is ridiculous to say, for example, that Eston Hemings Jefferson"pretended" to be white or "passed" for white. He didn't "pass" for anything.  He WAS legally white.  We should also note that all of Eston's descendants are white - if such a thing as "whiteness" or "blackness"can be said to exist at all.    Remember that "whites"are part of the "multiracial" continuum (in contrast to the popular "one drop" myth that all "blacks" are racially "mixed" and "whites" are all"pure).

An excellent resource regarding the political importance of "whiteslavery" is The Forgotten Cause of the Civil War: A New Look atthe Slavery Issue by Lawrence R.  Tenzer.

As a voice who has been silenced for so long, I look forward to working with anti-racist scholars to produce new knowledgeabout whiteness, the critique of whiteness, and the pedagogy of whiteness.

For some time I have begged editors, journalists, 'mixed' couples, elected officials and demographers to THINK, SPEAK, and WRITE that there is only ONE'race/species-the HUMAN' race/species! There is no need for us, in 2000 to continue thinking of ourselves as belonging to different 'races'-, being 'interracial'-' multiracial' and/or 'biracial'. These terms are oxymoronic- genetically incorrect and divisive. A race is a speed contest not a classification of human beings! The anthropologists and social engineers who, in concert with certain religious leaders and slave traders, in 1580 (you could look it up) substituted 'species'with 'race' admitted that they were doing a dangerous, arbitrary and mischievous thing. They knew that the word would be misused. They called it a '. convenience helpful to the memory and should not be carried beyond due bounds. "The great Dr. John Henrik Clarke, writing in Dr. Maribma Ani's (Dona Richards) "YURUGU" says: "The concept of race that now plagues the whole world is an artificial European invention. Professor Ashley Montagu has referred to it as man's great myth".

Permit me to offer the WALDEN PLAN FOR ETHNIC HARMONY-.
1. Place an immediate moratorium on thinking-, speaking and writing the word 'race' as a classification of human beings-,
2. Substitute for 'race': species-, ethnicity-, heritage and/or descent group-,
3. Amend all constitutional, federal and state legislation, where applicable, by deleting the word 'race' and substituting one ofthe above from #2;
4. Encourage ALL 'mixed' couples to STOP calling themselves 'Interracial' and their children 'biracial'! They are, in fact, 'intra racial' or 'intra ethnic'.. Their children are 'biethnic' in the least and 'multiethnic' at the most. These wonderful, enlightened humans constitute a large, viable segment of our society who know from experience how silly and meaningless the concept of 'race'and color prejudice is-
5. Whenever'racial'identity is asked for (census, application forms, etc.) ALWAYS write or say HUMAN-
6. Read noted anthropologist Ashley Montagu's classic textbook written in 1941 -" MAN'S MOST DANGEROUS MYTH THE FALLACY OF RACE (Sixth Edition) This is an invaluable reference for any discussion or dialogue on "race". (Joel Rogers"'NatureKnows No Color Line" and "Sex and Race" are MUSTS!-,
7. Write Rep. Thomas Sawyer (D-Ohio), Chrm. of the House Subcomm on Census 2000 thanking him for excluding a'Multiracial'option on the 2000 census form-, and
8. Let us ALL actively seek our relatives of other ethnicities (we all have them somewhere) and hold family reunions regularly!
Thanx for your indulgence! Let me hear from you all!PEACE!!!!

E.C. Walden, Sr., M.D.I WILL KEEP TRYING 'TIL YOU ALL GET IT RIGHT!!!

When I first saw your web sight I thought it was a much needed thing, a place where white people could go and feel good about their culture, learn how to overcome barriers of race but I found none of that. All I saw was repeated articles on the guilt of whites and how whites should decenter their supposed "power" and then you deny that other races cannot be racist. How kiss ass. You pander to mainstream black political ideals. If you took a different stance and you really talked about "whiteness" perhaps through the experience of white people and articles on what it's like to be white, and talked about issues of concern for whites as a race and gave dignity to whiteness do you really think all your fellow groups your center associates with would support you in your "whiteness" as you are supporting them in their "people of colorness". I think not. White people are white people. Made by God and not responsible for history any more than anyone else. I believe God is creator of all man. We as white people should not pander to current associations of who we are, how we feel or what we should do to make up for our whiteness. God sees us all in our prejudices, fears, and frustrations. Let's try to see the world as he sees it, not as we humans view it because that only brings discord........ as is so evident in history.

I am an Italian American very confused of where My family and myself stand in this multiracial America. I have always showed respect and teach my children the same to all people no matter who they are. It is very noticable how society has segregated itself, nicely tucked in with each race respecting only their own. Attitudes are at an all time high.

My ancestors arrived in this country in 1911, and had to work very hard to make a life. There wasn't any hand outs for them to start their lives over in a strange land. Only the hope of working hard to achieve the American dream. They had their own racial profiling to deal with the Irish who did not want them here. Why is it when two different cultures have problems, but are both white it is merely human dislike. But when one is white and the other Black or Hispanic, it must be racial toward the white, never the other.

As a concerned citizen I am searching for my family's new position in this Land of opportunity. What do I tell my daughters to look forward to in the future. They know they must do good in school to get a good job, but in five or ten years I dont believe knowledge will be prevalent as much as where you came from to get good positions. They have seen this for themselves on television when a white person hurts or kills a minority it is always a racial or hate crime, but they never see it the other way around. Is it really true that minorities do not kill white people or if they do it was not done because of hate.

They have also seen it in real life when someone patrons our store and asks if we take food stamps and drives away in a brand new Lincoln Navigator or a Lexus.

I am an Italian American, not a Caucasian or white person. I also have a heritage. It just seems like society has tucked us and millions of others into this category of guilt and expects us to work and contribute to everybody elses American dream.

I would like to state that the definition of racism is discriminating a group of people for race, religion, sex or gender.  I am sick of hearing black people and Hispanic people thinking all white people are racist because not all white people are.  I on the other hand am a racist.  One of the reasons racism is becoming a major issue is black people who don't work hard and blame us for keeping them in the projects.  Slavery has been over for well over a hundred years so they should get off their asses and get jobs like the rest of us.  Black people owe us more than we owe them so they should quit asking us for handouts, if it wasn't for us they would still be in Africa.  The only people that we do owe are the Indians because they were here first.  Another thing that bothers me are the hate crime laws that are guided at white people, why because we started standing up for ourselves against black gangs.  These laws are unfair and definitely unjust.  I would like to end saying how can a society condone racism when it's constitution was written by slave owners who were probably more racist than we were.

Lowell Thompson, a member of your board of trustees writes:

Just as the capitalist system is not a capitalist plot, so racial oppression is not the work of "racists." It is maintained by the principal institutions of society, including the schools (which define "excellence"), the labor market (which defines "employment"), the legal system (which defines "crime"), the welfare system (which defines "poverty"), the medical industry (which defines "health"), and the family (which defines "kinship").

It seems to me that, if racial oppression is maintained by these definitions, then those who would abolish it are obligated to provide alternative definitions. If competence in standard english is not a requirement of excellence in education, what is the alternative? If the ability to compute sums, remainders, products, and quotients are the means of maintaining "white privilege", then what facets of competence in arithmetic are not? If holding a productive job is an aspect of "white privilege", then what is the non-discriminatory definition of employment? If theft, assault, fraud, and murder are tools of racial oppression, then what sort of crimes would a legal system that had abolished "whiteness" define? What would the definition of "poverty" bein a society free of "racial oppression"? Would heart deisease be different in such a society? Would mothers now be fathers?

In sum, does Mr. Thompson have any idea what he's talking about? Or is this blather generated by resentment and the inability to think logically?

Dear Sir or Madam.

I would like to suggest the following titles be considered for inclusion in your Library.

They are, "The End of Racism" and "Illiberal Education" by the author, Dinesh D'Souza. I am aware that some would consider then to be rather controversial but others may find them enlightening. In any case, it does not appear that you particularly averse to controversy.

Sincerely,
Steve

I am searching for radio-suitable audio programs, in 1/2 hour to 1 hourssegments, that teach about whiteness, unlearning racism, or support thedevelopment of diversity skills, multicultural competencies and conflictresolution. Do you know if any such thing exists and can you point me inthe right direction?

I have spent some time at your site and have read some things on it. I have just read "what kind of white person are you?" I have been thinking about the idea of whiteness for some time and have also read various books which relate to it, both directly and indirectly. For example, although the book "Who is Black," by James Davis deals with the fallacy of a pure black race in America, it also reveals that the idea of whiteness is correspondingly fallacious as a biological concept.

Any serious and sophisticated reflection about whiteness, then, must embrace it as an idea or an ideology. The conceptual framework which I have been working with revolves around the need to provide an explanation for the existence of inequality. From an historical perspective, the idea of human inequality has been the accepted norm far longer than the idea of equality embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Frence Declaration of Rights of Man. The idea of human equality is of relatively recent vintage, something which we have lost track of in this country, as we have lost track of so much else. The founding fathers came from and perpetuated a long tradition of societal inequality.

Slavery was obviously a direct contradiction to the ideas of the Enlightenment which Jefferson embraced to dearly. He and other elites needed an acceptable explanation for this obvious contradiction and, having rejected the idea of aristocracy and nobility, settled upon race. (See Jefferson's Notes on Virginia).

Thus, the males who controlled the political and economic power of America could have both the idea of equality as a unifying theme and maintain themselves and their descendants in power through a system of inequality sanctioned by science.

Race and inequality in America are inextricably bound to one another. Whiteness is not biology, it is ideology. And as such, it is dependent upon the existence of negative images of some "other" in order for a white person to have a white identity. It is the opposition of the pure vs. the impure.

When you propose the third category of white person, you do not go far enough. Ultimately, it is the idea of whiteness itself which must become unacceptable because we will define it in such a way that no one will be willing to consciously incorporate such an ideology as part of their identity. My goal, then, is to become one of many formerly white persons. I suspect that the writer of the editorial may be seeking this goal, as well, but has not yet formulated a clear enough idea of whiteness to realize that maneuver within that category is insufficient.

Your organization & web sight are a complete joke! It's obvious that this"Center for the Study of White American Culture, Inc." was not created by a White American, for it is so racist! If it was created by or with the help of a White person, then they are just self-flagellating liberals, which disqualifies their opinion.

It's amazing that this sight keeps equating "racism" with Whites, yet never refers to racism by others, especially against Whites.

I'm White and proud of it! I never feel any other way, except proud for there is a lot to be proud of! If it wasn't for the White race, there would be no modern technology and the world would still be living as they did before White explorers shaped and changed the world for the better! Whites, or European Americans, should not buy into this "White guilt" stuff.

Going by two crime statistic reports; one by the FBI, called the "Uniform Crime Report" and the other by the Justice Department, called the "National Crime Victimization Survey" (NCVS), will enlighten people to the truth of racism and hate crimes. Every year, on average there are 1.7 million inter-racial crimes committed, of which 1.2 million involve Blacks and Whites. Now, of these 1.2 million, Blacks are the perpetrators and Whites the victims 90% of the time, yet it is Whites who are charged more often with hate crimes! So much so, that the phrase "hatecrime" is synonymous with "White racist".The FBI report is a bit flawed as it categorizes Hispanics as "White" when they commit a hate crime, but as "Hispanic" when they are victims, thus, Hispanics are officially incapable of committing hate crimes and gives the false impression that Whites commit many, many more crimes than they actually do.

So this proves that these so called "hate crime" laws, which are really thought crime laws, are merely a tool to oppress Whites and ethnic cleansing can't be far behind!

Getting back to your organization and web sight, it would be a good idea if you changed the name of your organization to one that better reflects your mission. Maybe "We Hate Whitey, Inc.", or "Lets Kill the Damned White Man, Inc.", or whatever, but something more descriptive to the true nature of your purpose. Maybe I should start a "Center for the Study of Black American Culture, Inc."and harp on how much crime, violence and destruction is inherent in your nature! All in the name of racial harmony, of course, because we must end racism!

Thanks for listening to the truth.

Rick
PS, Please don't publish my e-mail address, as I don't want to get any hate mail from liberals or racists!

I find your site to be quite humorous indeed! How can one justify himself into the disillusioned perspective that the white culture is solely responsible for this great country that we live in today? That is a big part of the problem. Or the fact that other races would have to ask for guidance on what aspects of their culture to disregard in order to fit into white society. My statement to you is that you do not deserve to even claim the heritage that you come from. You are a disgrace to your own people. Another issue is this reverse discrimination idea. What exactly is that? Discrimination is discrimination, period. For white males to use the term of reverse discrimination tells me that you know exactly what was done and it would be "unfair" if it were to happen to you. Too bad, the damage has been done. I, for one, use my intelligence to take whatever I can from white culture, in the work place and in personal life, and use whatever aquired to propel my people to the forefront of American life. I can go on and on, but why bother? When, in the future you see a nonwhite male at the front of a high profile company, ask yourself, am I becoming extinct? The answer will most likely be yes.

I was under the impression that yours was a serious organization. I was disabused of this idea when I encountered the question and answer sequence you have added to the beginning of your site. Perhaps you intended it to be thought provoking or had some other laudable ambition for it. It succeeds only in being trite, at best, and downright offensive at worst.The reason I was visiting was to see if you had gotten my earlier E-mail regarding the addition of the D'Souza books I had recommended, as I had no response from you on the subject.

Sincerely,Steve

Hello pansies! Im supposed to feel guilty of horrible acts commited to those in the past & present just because Im white (Greek/Italian). I grew up in Woodside Queens NY, a once all Irish neighborhood, but soon became latino/mexican/dominican and so on. I was raised to believe that we are all created equal and to live in harmony, but how can I do so when Im labeled as a racist cracker just because Im white? I never did anyone wrong of any color, neither have my ancestors (who imigrated from Greece in the early 1900's) but yet black people constantly give me shit, call me names, give me dirty looks, call me racial obsenities (please pardon my spelling), and the list goes on? What have I done to deserve this... absolutely nothing! I try to understand with blacks what happened to their families, and ancestors, but it looks to me that now they are free from major racial predjudices, they want to point the finger at people like me, the quiet white guy who minds his own business and wants to go through with life as easily and painfree as possible. Im tired of the stereotyping "Evil Whitey" on me, im tired of being this liberal pansy like you and your trustees who has to take shit from the blacks, like Farrakahn (saying the jewish haulocaust didnt exhist).

Let me tell you all a little something about life: It's like a poker game, your dealt a hand, if its a shitty hand, thats the hand you have to play. I think that the increasing number of blacks on welfare is due to the fact that they think whites owe them something and they can sit on their asses and not have to work, well guess what, life is a lose/lose game, we all lose in the end, white/black/yellow we all get old, rot, then perish. Like my life: Im poor, broke, I had to drop out of school to help my mother out, you dont see me blaming society for that because thats the way life is. I cant blame society for my mother being an insane person, claiming she's a Native American (she is white), telling me that I should constantly feel guilty for the Whites taking the land away from the Indians, who is kicking me out of the house that I helped pay for when she couldnt work because Im white. I know that last statement didnt sound right, but its true, but I still blame someone else for this, its just the way it is.

Get some balls and stop bitching about whites, your lame, over-liberal, and filled with unnecessary guilt.

I hope you die slowly, painfully along with my mother "the indian"
