Why? No one has said you (White people in general) are racist. Don't feel bad or guilty because of who you are. I don't. There are Black people who I feel do not represent Blacks well, such as the welfare moms and a few of the 'gangsta' rappers, but I am not any less proud to be Black, or Negro, as it says on my birth certificate, because of them.

I think you are alluding to a good point here, soror.
Its acceptable in our society to be proud of being Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American, but being proud of being White is considered racism. Why?
I can be proud of my heritage and the accomplishments of my people without saying that I'm SUPERIOR to other races.
