Subject: Letter to the Editor

I want to thank you for being able to brouse your site. I found it by accident while doing some e-research for an article I am writing about Caucasian Ethnocentrism.

I did not find your site to be "racist" nor full of hate. I did find it informative and a great site to visit in the future.

I am a white male, a homosexual male, a professional male working on my PsyD (Doctorate in Psychology) at University of San Francisco. I have an Asian partner and am an active member of his family as he is mine; therefore I see two spectrums of two very different race/cultures.

Again, thanks for a great site. Bennett

I am a thiry-two year multi-raced woman. I found your page quite interesting. Personally, I agree with the focal point of what you're suggesting. There is nothing wrong with having pride in your hertiage. I know I do. But, there is a fine line of having pride and biogtry.

To whom it may concern,

I recently browsed through your website and thought I might send along a few general comments.

Admittedly, I did not spend untold hours carefully reading every word on every page of the site. Time is of the essence for me, so I read a few articles, checked out a handful of letters to the editor, and came away with what I think is a pretty accurate overall feel for your beliefs.

In a nutshell, the "Center for the Study of Whiteness" is, predictabley, more of the same old caucasian guilt manure-heap that has been rammed down my pale throat for twenty-nine years now. The funny thing is, I still don't feel one iota of guilt. I must be evil incarnate.

I'd like to ask you a few questions.
1. You use the term "people of color" on your website a lot. Is that anything like "colored people"?
2. Do you support financial reparations for American slavery?
3. Isn't it true that the vast majority of white Americans at the time of slavery, the Civil War, etc. were not slave owners?
4. Assuming question #3 to be true, isn't it rather silly to expect white people today to feel guilty, or indebted to blacks, because of events that took place over a century and a half ago?
5. Did Colin Fergusen ( the black man who slaughtered a shitload of people on the Long Island Rail Road in the mid-90's [ most of them white ], because he wanted to get back at the 'evil white man' ) commit a hate crime?
6. Is it racism when Louis Farrakhan refers to people who have a similar, pinkish skin tone to mine as " Blue-Eyed Devils "?
7. Isn't just a little boring -- not to mention a tad racist -- when black comedians rehash the same old lame jokes about the bad dancing practices of whites?
8. If race, and more specifically, " white skin priviledge ", plays such an important factor in our criminal justice system, would somebody please explain to me why OJ Simpson is still walking around? Is he still " looking for the real killers"?
9. Various black leaders have complained about the lack of " faces of color " on television. Is it any consolation when they see McDonald's using black holidays, actors, and voice-over artists to hock thier wretched food on them? Do these same black leaders enjoy the crappy programming to be found on the WB Network, known as the most diverse network on television?
10. I am a weird mix of Scots-Irish, Russian-Jewish, Chippewa Indian, and German. I look white as hell. Should I feel guilty about anything, and if so, to whom? Should the German part of me be extra careful around the Jewish part when telling ethnic jokes?
11. Last question. In the name of "diversity", or "multiculturalism", or whatever it's called these days, is society willing to give up lofty ideals such as quality, integrity, honesty, and individual freedom and personal responsibilty?

In closing, I guess all I'd like to say is that I think it's awful that we even seem to need websites like this. All we as a people can do is deal with the present day. Sure, racism is out there to be found, even in institutional forms in some rare cases. But in modern America, nothing matters like money. If you have a lot of it, you can pretty much do whatever you want. If you don't have much of it, well just watch your step. Nobody can change what has happened in the past, and if you look my way for some kind of contrition, or an expression of guilt, well you better bring a magnifying glass, johnny, because there's no guilt here.

White Devilishly Yours,
Aric Calfee

Okay, one last question. Since black leaders have, in the past, asked white America to acknowledge and apologize for slavery, would it be fair to expect those same black leaders to acknowledge and show gratitude to the descendents of the many thousands of white Union soldiers who fought in the Civil War?

I just happened to trip over your web site and was reading a few of the quotes on "white identity" I took special note on the one that said whites "take their whiteness for granted". Maybe we just think we're Americans First and that "hyphenated Americanism" will Balkanize this country and ultimately destroy it. We need to treat, act and love one another as fellow countrymen and women, not get wrapped up in our individual "ethnic" pride. That only highlights our differences. We are Americans.

Sincerely

Gee, how nice. This is really not a racist, white organization after all. Not like those nasty sites that other ethnic groups have on the web (those don't feel the need to be multiracial). I find it rather humorous that you need to justify having this web site by making it multiracial. What's so wrong about being White? I am proud of my White, European background. I'm going to marry a White woman so I can have White children, and they too, can be proud of being White.

I think the pseudointellectualism of racial politics and modern university anthropology has finally reached the lowest ebb possible. I think your Marxist agitprop designed to harm the faculties of reason amongst young white Americans will ultimately fail. I also believe that if the hatred for "whitey" is so great that organizations such as yours exist, then certainly your sense of moral superiority should lend itself to ACTION rather than DISCUSSION. Show your hatred for the white man by refusing to do the following:

1. Take any form of modern transportaion. Do not ride a bike, drive a car, take a train, sail in a boat or take a flight.

2. Turn off the TV. Do not listen to the radio.
Do not read anything that is typeset.

3. Do not drink any water form a public system.
Cease to use toilets immediately.

Must I continue? You have all adopted the usage of white culture. Do not attack what you readily consume, especially under the warped veil of "discussion".

Question: what happens when you kill the goose that lays the golden egg? Has Robert Mugabe been asking that question?

Hypocrites!!!

May Karl Marx bless you all.

Fred Smith

Subject: Site feedback

I saw your web site euroamerican.org and was saddened to find it had nothing to do with reaching back to our European roots and culture but rather constantly insinuating that all European Americans are "racist". Which is just a stereotype that we face, that if we are not ashamed of our Ethnicity then we are suddenly "racist". And your web site is only enforcing this stereotype.

Your site is like having a site for blondes with 50 college links on the page!

Subject: your views

I have never ever read such utter junk in my whole life!!! Such utter BS is even rare on the net- I am the President of AJAM-Australian jews against multiculturalism.
We call ourselves "anthropologically aware" Jews.
We know that
1 Our society is founded on Anglo-European culture, mental and behavioral patterns
2 Australia cannot survive a non-white majority-cultural values arent absorbed in a few generations
3 Multiculturalism is fine-as long as a white-majority population keeps the rest from slipping into third-world patterns of behavior
4 Anglo-saxon civilization is (amongst other things) based on a unique spirit of co-operation-the worst societies are populated by people who only think of their own short term gain at the expense of others
5 WE WONT CHOP DOWN THE TRUNK OF THE TREE HANG OFF

The idea that whites can exist as seperate minority or ethnic group without dominating the society they exist in is ludicrous-utterly unprecedented garbage.

What is your hidden and real agenda? Whites are the racial majority in this country and because of simple numbers will always hold the majority of the power, resources, etc. Show me one country with a black majority populace, and government, that does not have the same societal ills of a white-dominated society. Show me one multicultural society that meets your utopian ideals. America is as close as it gets. Why would you expect loftier ideals and outcomes out of a multicultural centered society? Personally, I am fed up with this beat up on the white male attitude from you whiny, forever the victim types. Just the types who keep idiots like Jessie Jackson in power and money. You are no different than Jessie Jackson, the NOW gang, NAACP, etc. . Playing the victim card with the evil white european male as the target of your attacks. You are simply a reverse racist and a socialist. You are divisive and evil. The center is for anyone who wants to come in. People like you, Jackson and the rest isolate the very ones you purport to help by differentiating them from the mainstream as victims of the white and not wanted by the white. You build into them an inferiority complex that balkanizes and plants in their minds a sense that they are not welcomed into the center. The reality in this country for sometime now is, that the center is open to those who are comfortable in their own skins and who are not afraid to come into the fold(center). I have met many successful, confident, people of color who have bitten off their own piece of the pie. People who treat other people as individuals not as a group stereotype. Man will always be man no matter the skin color. Inequality, injustice, violenc, hate, these are problems of mankind. Not of white european mankind, but all of mankind. They will never be made to go away by the actions of man even in your utopian multicultural world. I don't think you really care about the problems of mankind as much as you care about destroying the white power-base and grabing your own power.

Subject: Letter to Editor

As a person of color I was never exposed to racism till I came to the United States of America. I became familiarized with terms like "negro", "colored" and the likes. I just finished reading some of the letters sent to the editor and in it I noticed that most white people who refuse examine themselves are more angrier than the ones that acknowledge the simple truth. I hope you keep up the good work ...your site's the best.

From: EuroKnight@webtv.net
Subject: Your site

Why does your site continually ignore anything of European, Euro/American culture and continually insinuate that our people are racist based on our ethnicity? That is racist in itself don't you think? Your site may just be creating more resentment for the utter lack of real issues of importance and in it's place idiotic babble about how you are racist if your of Euro ancestry.

Complete garbage.

I'm a graduate student at the UW-Madison in the department of curriculum and instruction. I am searching for names of exemplary teachers (K - 12) who have an understanding of white privilege and who incorporate that understanding into classroom content. Can anyone nominate a name of a classroom teacher who is working in the Midwest who would fit these qualifications?

Hmmmmm is the point here to get along with each other regardless of race ? If so, why are we still segregating ourselves by referring to humans as colours ? Why can't this be called an American multicultural website ? Hell we're Americans PERIOD. No explanation, no colour titles, no attitude. Proud to be American, regardless of origin, colour, personality. It's going to take us a while to evolve that thought hey ?!!

Subject: Why do Asians hate blacks so much?

I say a prayer that you will find the intelligence to rid yourself of the horrible brain washing that the White race has created for you and many other Asian Americans.

It is a very sad statement to believe in things that are not true; therefore, yielding the situation you are presently in.

I also pray that you and many other Asian Americans will finally learn the real truth about America and it's foundations. Its a shame to know how badly tricked and bamboozled the Asian Race is in reference to America. For the most part the only thing you and many other Asians know is WHITE, and the White Race has succeeded in keeping your race in the closet, for good reasons.

Unfortunately, neither you nor the Asian Race can see the truth. I pray that both you and your race will take your eyes off of the falsely created images of Television, and finally learn who actually built this country called the United States.

Your civil and equal rights were provided to you by African Americans (Blacks) whether you know it or not, and many of my family, forefathers, and ancestors died for your rights of equality, whether you accept it or not, it's without question the truth.

The truth will arise one day in your life, but I ask that you will be smart enough to not only broaden your mind, but also your heart. White is not the answer to the Asian dysfunction here in America, only truth can provide that answer, and when you finally find out what White people really think of your race, you will remember me.

If you plan to stay in America...learn to be American, the Asian raping of America perturbs me. If you are a great people stay in your own country and make it that way.

Black people built this country, but your ignorance along with the remainder of your race is much too foolish to open up your slanted eyes wide enough to see the truth.

God bless your ignorance & stupidity, may you one day see the light!

By the way, get a black history book to not only find out your self worth but also where you originated.

Sincerely your loss,

Terrence
