So I'm mowing my lawn in mt front yard...

[Todd33]

I'm the only one outside on my street, a car drive past me up to the stop sign and a guy yells "White power! and the car drives away. It was a sedan with I think three men in it.

Made me think for a sec, I'm white as is my family and most of the town. Oh ya, my wife has a "Obama 2012" magnet on her car facing the street. Have to love yuppy right wing white people.



I just move her in August, I feel so welcome. This is very unlike my old neighborhood, full of all kinds of races.

What did the guys look like? If they were young, and your idea of a yuppie is the same as mine, they're probably just spoiled middle class trolls.

It depends on if it was said racistly or not. You can be proud of your race without being racist.

 

[sandorski]

Was the car White and did it have a Hemi?

right, whichever race you are there are billions of you. nothing unique to be proud of.

You can still be proud of your race regardless.

Obama - First BLACK man in the white house.

Peyton Hillis - First white running back to 1000 yards.

Jeremy Lin - First Asian-american NBA player.

No reason to not be proud of certain things that happened in your race, as long as they aren't thought of in a racist manner.

 

[trenchfoot]

I would have immediately gone into an uncontrolled exaggerated laughing fit, all the while continuously reaching in the air with my arms and then bending over to grab my knees, finishing it all off by falling down to the lawn as if I had stomach cramps from laughing so hard yelling repeatedly "you guys are so FUNNY!"

 

[EXman]

So stupid kids do this from the right on the left it is tenured teachers that do it in the classroom. There are stupid people everywhere. No matter where you move. I live in a red state (With Many more registed Dems by far) in a BLUE county and Blue Congressional District. Where the only ad the democrat runs is an attack add against a coal miner and the Dem will probably win. Stupid.

That's it? Here where I live we get quite different comments from our youth in cars...

I've heard white power yelled out of a car in Glen Ellyn. I think it's just a meme.

I've heard a lot F'ing worse from black kids around here. If that's all the OP heard he should count himself lucky.

P.S. Rich white kids yelling out White Power is almost as cliche is them calling themselves awesome dude, listening to rap, and wearing saggy jeans. Wealth is not a protection from stupidity...

Why? What for? There's no point to it. Pride is to be expressed for something that is actually an accomplishment, someone merely possessing a particular color of skin doesn't qualify as it was of no effort of theirs that this is the case.

Oh, and by the way... All humans alive today actually belong to the same race; homo sapiens sapiens. All the other human races have died out (neanderthal, cro magnon etc.) What you're thinking of as race is merely ethnic variations within the same race.

 

[sportage]

Probably just kids. Bored. More so for reaction rather than actual harm.
Childish stunts.
The kind of thing usually ignored.
Maybe they were selling cocaine. White powder?

How? You didn't choose your race, it isn't a team you decided to like that performed well.

Peyton Hillis - First white running back to 1000 yards.

Jeremy Lin - First Asian-american NBA player.

How exactly do their accomplishments have anything to do with their race?

 

[Incorruptible]

There is no shame in being proud of being white, obama is going to destroy this country so I am not surprised the kids did this

 

[Ryan]

There is no shame in being proud of being white, obama is going to destroy this country so I am not surprised the kids did this

Please tell me why you are proud of being white and why Obama has anything to do with it.......

 

[sandorski]

Ten Toesian and proud of it!

 

[Perknose]

There is no shame in being proud of being white, obama is going to destroy this country so I am not surprised the kids did this

Please tell me why you are proud of being white?

It's his biggest accomplishment to date. Actually, it's his only one . . . well, that and finally getting a day pass from the institution.

 

[Perknose]

The need to shout stuff at strangers reeks of insecurity, not pride.

 

[OutHouse]

Please tell me why you are proud of being white and why Obama has anything to do with it.......

so we should be ashamed of who we are? gotcha.

your life must suck.

 

[Ryan]

Oh Christ - when did I say anyone should be ashamed of being white?!? With such great comprehension skills, trust me, I can say for certain that it must suck being you.

I personally pity the person who lets their race define them. Is that all you are - just a white person? Is that really something to be proud of? What has your race given you that makes you proud to be white?

What is wrong with being indifferent about your race?

"White power" is not racist, since when?

Nothing is wrong with being indifferent about your race. Nothing is wrong with being proud of your race. Nothing is wrong with anything as long as you aren't harming anybody else in the process. What's so hard to understand about that?

So what is wrong with asking someone "Why?" then they claim to be proud of their race?
