Ashamed of Being White

Post Reply New Topic

I have read some pretty disturbing things here on this thread. But rather then approach that directly I will try to mention some things that perhaps not all people are aware of. It comes from the areas of archeology and NDA research which is clarifying the very long pre-history of humans and factually debunking some modern myths.

But first some facts. We were all 'brown' at one time. Homo Sapiens was 'born' as a distinct race (out of its hominid predecesors) about 200,000 years ago in Africa. Multiple studies and tests have proven every human alive today descends from a single female (sometimes called 'Mitochondrial Eve' after the DNA elements that proved our common ancestory). She was not the only woman at the time just the oldest identified common female ancestor.

She probably looked something like this:


Mitochondrial Eve

We remained in Africa until sometime between 60,000-120,000 years ago and then spread accross the world. People didn't then just find some place to hole up and remain isolation thereafter, but swirled around the globe constantly intermixing in the endless search for food, in response to climatic changes and conflicts. Much of the 'Old World' populations from Europe for instance possess DNA that proves much more recent and modern African and Asian ancestors from mixing a few hundred to a few thousand years ago.

The 'Indo-European' model has undergone much revision with the results of new information. It was not a displacement of exsisting peoples by a single one, but either an overlay of a dominant ruling class or perhaps even only a cultural spread. It can be compared to Englands colonial period of empire. The colonies took on English aspects to lesser or greater degree but did not become ethnic English. And as the empire shrank the colonies reverted to what they were more or less. There was no Aryan race, and the indo-european group originated only 4000 years ago and was made up from a hodgepodge of all the peoples and races that had been already mixing particularly on the steppes for 10's of thousands of years.

Neither civilization nor science originated in Europe. It originated in a broad swath from the middle east (african-arab-semetic) to Eurasia (Asian-Caucasian). As recently as 8000 years ago the indiginous europeans were still in a Neolithic state (Cave people) and both agriculture and modern technology came imported from the middle east with imigrants and contact. The early centers of civilization included China and South Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East and all around the Mediterranen including North Africa, Egypt, and Southern Europe. Even up to the middle ages, Europe was backwards in all fields of technology and only saw a boost from contact with North African (moors) and Saracen and other Eastern contacts.

Looking at things from a total history perspective, the Euro thing is just a flash in the pan, just the latest to rise and fall like so many preceding and perhaps some more to come.

Why would you be ashamed to be who you are? White people did bad things in the past, so did blacks, so did Native Americans, so did Hispanics, so did almost every other group on Earth.

If your Chinese, shouldn't you feel bad because of the genocide committed during the Communist Revolution?

If your from Africa, the Rhwanden Genocides?

If your South Africa, the White Genocides?

If your historically from Africa, Africans freely conquered and sold other Africans into slavery.

Every culture has done bad things. But that's what history is, something to learn from. We learn what not to do again. We didn't do it, but we can learn from others.

One thing I hate about the modern liberal mentality is this "Be proud of who you are...unless you are white...then go f**k yourself."

Everyone has a right to be proud of who they are. Being white shouldn't be anything else. Being proud of being white doesn't make me a racist, or a white supremacist either.
