Shout it out
[ QUOTE ]
Why can't one be proud to be a straight white male? [/ QUOTE ] You are absolutely right. You should indeed be proud. And I'm proud to have two eyes and two legs. I'm also extremely proud of my tonsils (never bothered me) and yesterday's weather. It was simply magnificent! Mickey Brausch

Re: Why can\'t one be proud to be a white male
Because of the historical position of white men, their accomplishments and successes are frequently attributed to their culture or society as a whole. E.g., most Americans feel pride in the Founding Fathers, even though they were white men. Minority groups tend to have prominent figures that are "their own" in that members of other groups feel less of a connection to them.
So, I suppose you could be proud of being a white male specifically, but what exactly are you celebrating?

Pick up any history text from before 1970 and you'll see much about the white male. After that it seems that history 'changed'.
