Why do White people in America only identify with the term American but nothing else?

[Anathema]

Thats a cool story bro...I see white people are still pretending they dont have their own traditions and ethnic pride. It must suck to deny who you are publicly and act the opposite in private. Be proud bro

Honestly, my family really hasn't carried over any significant traditions from our European heritage. We're the typical "American Mutt", with at least 7 or 8 different sets of Continental roots.

You havent really but you have but those arent significant.

See, white people love to pretend they are "Americans first" in public but behind close doors its a different story.

Youre still deflecting from your mysterious point. Can you articulate that point so everyone else understands the import of saying all people came from Africa?

Can you repeat that in English?

Your point. What was it?

Asked and answered.

Now youre back pedaling desperately. Don't you know the difference between a statement and a question? You made some inane statement but neglected to convey your point. However, I'll let you off the hook. I hate torturing dumb people.

Your concession is duly noted.

Yes i concede you had no point.

 

[Asclepias]

So you have African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, or Asian Americans etc. But White people in America seems to be the outkast? Can someone help me understand this?

I think I can answer this very easily, with a story from my Great-Grandmother.....

In 1980 my great-grandmother failed to return her census documents. She wasn't a big fan of the Federal Government and simply threw them out when they came. Several months later one of the census takers showed up at her door to "help" her complete her census. When asked for her Ancestory she answered AMERICAN. He tried to get a better answer from her, asking where her ancestors had come from, or if she was NATIVE AMERICAN. Her response..... "My family has been in this country for more than 300 years (they arrived in the 1650's). I'm not from anywhere but AMERICA at this point, and if you don't like that you can GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!!" She then proceeded to chase the census taker out of her home with a broom.

See, when we white folks came here (either in 1650 or 1900 as my family dd), they did it beacuse they wanted to become AMERICANS. They wanted to SEPARATE themselves from wherever it was they came from and make a better life HERE. That's why so many whites only acknowledge ourselves as AMERICANS, whereas many Asians, Africans and Hispanics would really PREFER to live wherever they came from, but they find the US has more opportunities to better themselves. This leaves them of split mind and loyalties, thereby identifying themselves with the hypenated "-America" title.

That post was so retarded that I am stunned by the delusion it must have taken to write that.

My whole thing is what makes some white people think in order to be american you cant give honor to your ancestors? Its a idiotic concept that doesnt make sense. They seem to be frightened you dont want to be white which is really what they mean to say.

The delusion that whites wanted to separate themselves from their roots. You cant honestly believe that can you?

The reason it doesnt make sense reminds me of a saying: Dont try to make sense out of nonsense.

They dont get rid of their heritage, traditions, etc....they TELL BLACKS thats what they do to convince us to do the same. And when they close their doors they laugh and continue their traditions

The culture of America is to accept everyone, equally. Regardless of race, creed, or sexual identity.

Did you type that with a straight face?

Yes. I did. Name any other country on this planet where a more diverse group of people live together....mostly in harmony. Name a single country in Africa where you can have gay people and straight people and Muslim, Jew and Christian, all living within 5 miles of each other and not be in all out war.

Name me one place on this planet where that is possible.

Canada for starters. Brazil also comes to mind. as far as diversity.

I know plenty of African countries where Muslims and Christians live amongst each other. I didnt go around asking who was gay or not. You have a warped concept of what happens in Africa. You should visit there one day instead of relying on the news.

Just had a Muslim nutter attack Parliament. But, as Canada is frequently referred to as a province of the USA and has a population one tenth that of the USA, and it is mainly white. So.... your observation is accurate, but not really.

Brazil you say? Yes, they are a democratic country but they push their poor and disaffected out into the jungle where they prey on the indigenous populations and slash and burn the Amazon rain forest. If they didn't have that pressure release valve the already incredible levels of violence would blow the country to bits. And, once again, they have a population that is mainly black.

The population of the US is black, brown, and white with all the racial tensions that that entails. Canada and Brazil are racially distinct. The USA is not.

World Report 2013 Brazil Human Rights Watch

We've had muslim citizens here in the US do attacks. We push the poor and disaffected into the ghettos and place the indigenous on reservations. I dont get your point at all. You asked where in the world was it possible for all races to exist together as they do here in the US. There are plenty of places. You just have to go there instead of relying on someone to tell you.

The poor and disaffected are not pushed into the ghetto. They choose to REMAIN in the ghetto. Do you see the difference? There is no place on this planet with the racial mix that exists in this country. No place. The other countries of this world are homogenized, they are either predominantly white, or brown, or black.

The population of this country is likewise much greater than most other countries on this planet. That too comes with it's own set of pressures. Yes, this country has major problems. But, this country has come farther, faster, than any other before it because we allowed people to better themselves. There was no class system here. The progressives are trying to create one here now, but it was that lack of a class system that allowed us to be where we are today.

American culture itself has embraced certain European concepts; which shouldn't be any surprise considering that our culture grew out of European culture. Thoser are the type of "insignificant" traditions I'm talking about.

No matter how you explain why it happens the point is that it happens. And white people spend way to much talking about what blacks should do when they dont follow their own advice. The veil is coming down tho

What we don't want to be is EUROPEAN. We have founded our own nation HERE, on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, and feel no need to bow before the cultural icons and traditions of a land our ancestors LEFT to come HERE.

My fathers Grandfather got dumb when he came to the United Staets in 1900. When we was in Germany and Poland growing up, he spoke five languages (German, Polish, French, Czech and English). You know how many he spoke once he brough his wife here to the United States in 1900..... ONE, English. The same with his wife. Nor did they allow any of their eight children to learn any language other than English. That's the sort of separation I'm talking about.

"They choose to REMAIN in the ghetto."
That was pretty ignorant. There is no difference other than the propaganda used to rationalize the circumstances. I just gave you two places of the top of my head that had the same or better racial mix than exists in this country. Canada and Brazil. Granted I havent been to every single place in either country but the places I have been were really mixed and I never felt like I was "a Black" like I do here in the states. New Zealand, India, Guyana and Trinidad are also racially mixed countries. You need to get out more.

Of course there is a class system. Actually I would go as far as to say a caste system.

Even if that were true what does that have to do with what non-european want to do? Frankly its none of your business.

That was a personal decision that your gramps made. I dont understand why you dont get that the culture he passed down to you is based on what he learned in Europe? Its not just language. Its a way of looking at the world. Not all people share that way of looking at the world.

 

[Anathema]

Yes it most definitely IS my business. In order to maintain AMERICAN Society & Culture we cannot allow it to be further devolved by the inclusion of external culters and social ideals brought from other parts of the world.

Exactly. America has separated itself from the European way of viewing the world. Unfortunately many people want to take us back to that Continental thinking.... socialism. world citizenship, etc.... That IS NOT and NEVER WAS, what America was intended to be.

No...Its not your business. No one appointed you the person that decides what ideas are valid and which ones are not. Sorry but thats why you will remain frustrated.

Doesnt matter what america was intended to be. The people that adapt survive. Being stagnant is a sign of low intellect.

Why do White people in America only identify with the term American but nothing else?

Because WHITE people in America who were probably born and raised in this country (or not) have no inclination or reason to refer to themselves as Ireo Americans, or Germo Americans, Franco Americans, Slovaco Americans, Ruso Americans, Mexo Americans, (or Hispo Americans), Cano Americans, Southo Americans, Swedo Americans, Finlo Americans, Deno Americans, Norwo Americans, Austro Americans, Turko Americans, Belgo Americans, Philopino Americans, Samo Americans, Irano Americans, Iraqo Americans, Centro Americans, Hollo Americans, Greco Americans, Itlo Americans, Brito Americans nor USSro Americans.

Neither do the yellow skinned people refer to themselves as Jappo Americans, nor Chino Americans, nor Koro Americans, nor Vieto Americans.

So the question should be:

Why do Black people in America ONLY identify with the term Afro/African American, but nothing else?
