How We Became White People (CNN BS BARF ALERT)
Communist News Network (CNN) ^ | Christian Lander

Posted on 05/01/2010 7:52:26 AM PDT by I Hate Obama

(CNN) -- I am white. I know that's a terribly big surprise, considering that I write a blog called Stuff White People Like, but I mean it, I'm white. Like really white. I'm not attempting to assert some sort of superiority through my whiteness; quite the opposite actually. Thanks to my liberal upbringing, I am imbued with the appropriate amount of guilt and shame about my ancestors and their actions in the New World.

I am white. I know that's a terribly big surprise.

We are informed that he has published a book "Stuff White people like". I would not buy such a book and therefore I am unaware of Mr Lander's genealogy. He does lead with his chin however, with this statement.

Although I guess my ancestors technically left England because of some religious persecution and in spite of a rough boat ride and a rough first Thanksgiving....."

There are indeed some persons who can trace their descent back to the Mayflower,and the Speedwell. Few, very few, are they.

Mr Landers has a name that in truth it is certainly evident in the UK, it also has German origins. It is European as of itself. The massive migrations from the British Isles, not including Ireland came between 1850 and 1913. The Steamships started that.

Perhaps he can trace his ancestry back to the Mayflower, if so I stand corrected. He could fill in his time and really check, he might get one heck of a suprise. Most of us who have checked certainly do. Yep, by the kind efforts of the Mormon church, the 1881 census(England and Wales)also Canada, with the 1880 census (USA) are absolutely free. Lander should take search- if he has not already.

THIS IS HOW THE CIA DEFINES RACE IN THE U.S.:

White 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic. . .

I'll bet this guy has no idea that 400,000 white Americans bled and died to liberate the slaves.*

Name any other group in world history that ever did anything remotely like that.

*That's on a Union States population of 20 million, equivalent to 6 million deaths on today's US population, or more than 1,000 dead for each life we've lost in Iraq.

You're right. It does get worse. This idiot is obviously a product of public education.

As long as America has been around, I would have been considered white.

Sorry, moron. You would have been "caucasian" which meant your origins were west of the Caucasus mountain range.

I would have checked the same box in the 1790 census,

Wrong again, Bozo. But then, I'm sure you never bothered to actually LOOK at a 1790 census.

Irish, Italian, Jewish, German and Eastern European have all been considered not white. or at the very least "not American."

Wrong again. All categories mentioned are "caucasian."

This crap was actually published by CNN? No wonder I got out of the journalism biz. Sigh.

The darker the Hispanic, the heavier the discrimnination against them. If you have ever seen Spaniards & Mexicans hold a ‘discussion,’ you know what I mean.

‘Coger’ in Castellano means ‘turn’ but in Mexican Spanish is something else altogether.

The conceit of the “white privilege” crowd is that if it weren’t for certain people of northern Europe ethnicity, all the non-northern Europeans who are now poor or not as materially well-off as the Eurams would be swimming in riches like Scrooge McDuck in his castle vault. How does that explain Oprah Winfrey being a billionaire and the host of other non-”white” entertainers and athletes who are multi-millionaires if not billionaires? There is no logic to their argumnent. The fact is all American are privileged. Some take advantage of that privilege, some don’t. Those who don’t are losers ...like the scribbler of this article.

My Irish wife is so white I can read a newspaper at night under the covers.

Dude,

If you're under the covers with your wife, what the heck are you doing reading a newspaper?

First time I heard it was at a Civil War reeneactment and the man singing it was Irish. It was hauntingly beautiful. I bought his CD.

His version was a bit different and the words sound like this...
Here’s to you boys, now take my advice
To Americay I’ll have ye’s not be cooming
For there’s nothing here but war and the murderin’ cannons roar
And I wish I was back home in dear old Erin.

“I have been hearing this crap for my entire life and I’m exhausted - the race card doesn’t work against me anymore.”

My sentiments exactly.

White Christians produced what is still far and away the finest civilization in the history of mankind. If our ancestors weren’t always plaster saints, well, the race card and those who wield it can just kiss my entire fat white *ss.

...My wife is a black skin beauty, and I'm a permanently sunburned for 50 years white guy. My arms are as brown as my ladys. In the past, I've had the pleasure of being the only Caucasian in the room with all Afro-Americans and graced with a few racists that want to kick my ass. Fortunately, I was backed up by a majority of brother in law brothas, and sister in law sistas, and black friends that protected my white ass. I've also been in public with my wife accused of being a nigga-lover by a few jarheadded cracker assholes. Sometimes I am confused with race identity syndrome until I realize I'm just an individual, natural born citizen of the USA...

“Even more amazing is that the black race comprises a mere 13.5% of the US population, yet this minority dominates just about every aspect of this nation.”

Come to think of it, slavery had an awful long term payout.

Negative rate of return. We’ll be payin forever.
