Um no. Whites can and do celebrate their culture. It is called celebrating their ethinicity.  
White people do not have a single white culture…they have Irish Polish, etc etc.  
Acknowleding stuff like Mexican or black or Amerind contribuatiions to society isn’t being racist…it’s b/c for years and years and years the ONLY stuff in the textbooks was white males.  
It’s exactly the way that by being proud to be Deaf (ASL user with a hearing loss) I’m simply celebrating the fact that I am Deaf, (and that can be with CIs or hearing aids) not the fact that I’m anti hearing. Being pro something doesn’t automaticly mean that the opposite of it is teh EVIL!

I know what he means. Yet he still bitches about whites not being the majority anymore. It may not be “tolitarian”, in that he wishes whites to be in charge, but the fact that he seems to find other minorities to be a threat is certainly disturbing. I would consider that “tolitarian”. You’re free to disagree.  
**AboutAsWeirdAsYouCanGet** you pretty much said what I was trying to. An example maybe would be “Irish Pride” on St. Patrick’s Day. Or here in Pittsburgh where you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting someone without Polish ancestry. (Break out the pierogies!)

**Finn** is responding to this part of your post:

> Oh, and **LonesomePolecat** , what do you call a “tolitarian”? Do you mean you don’t have a problem with neo-Nazi beliefs, as long as they’re not wide-spread?

…which suggests that you think the word _totalitarian_ means that a belief is wide-spread.

You can’t really be this stupid, but [here’s a Wikipedia article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_American)that sums it fairly well. Why do progs try to pull this silly trick of pretending not to understand?

Why? Plenty of minority cultures seem to be holding on, in this country and in others. Is Anglo-American culture so much weaker?

Well, if Anglo-American culture includes having a white majority, then by definition…

And yet universities offer “white studies” devoted to deconstructing white culture.

A totalitarion ideology or movement demands absolute control over every aspect of an individual’s life and does not tolerate dissent or free expression. As I don’t believe in the superiority or inferiority of any race, and I certainly advocate or approve of anything like the “Final Solution,” I don’t have any general agreement with the Nazis. I don’t see how they were any more evil than the communists, thoug.

Meh. I’m a racial realist who’s often disgusted with, and sometimes bitterly amused by, the supposedly “enlightened” racial views of progressives and their bizarre double standards.

I am able to celebrate my Italian, Danish, and Jewish (Polish/Russian) heritages just fine while being a minority.

The fact that my neighborhood is full of people of French Canadian Catholics has not prevented me from celebrating my own heritage and culture, which is certainly in part influenced by my neighbors; if I have kids, their sense of heritage will be different from mine, as mine was different from my own parents.

And, if I’m the only one in the neighborhood eating gefilte fish, or the only one making ebelskivers for breakfast, well, it doesn’t mean I’m loosing a battle, or that my culture is disappearing, it just means I don’t share those things in common with the people around me, and that’s ok.

The point being, culture is much narrower and much deeper than black/white. To go on about it as if white culture (“civilization” . . . riiiight :rolleyes: ) is under siege makes you sound like a moron.

Damn straight. We’re happy that there are so many Star Trek and Star Wars fans living peacefully around us. Despite the fact we’re Whovians.
