If I say I am proud of my German heritage does that make you think hate other groups?

Not at all.\n\nIt makes me think that you are familiar and pleased of your history and your parentage, and that you wish to cultivate it and teach it to your children.\n\nIf you say it in the context of exclusivity, then maybe someone would think you were being hateful. But being proud of your heritage is nothing to be ashamed of.

No, I wouldn't because Hate groups only bring more violence and  no reconciliation for their cause. People join hate groups for their lack of competence and most them join because of peer pressure or wanting to accepted by others. I live in the Bible belt. Hate groups here advocate against equality. These groups believe they are doing a service unto God. How incompetent! These people don't realize that they are hurting themselves and not other of a different culture,origin or skin color.

It is just as important that I respect the beliefs of other ethnic races as it is for them to respect my beliefs.  Respect goes both ways.

it really is a very paradoxical question, but it happens when you're growing up in a society that is full of hate towards one race. i've seen jewish people (jewish by birth that is) hate the jewish people, even becoming neo-nazis in their hate.\n\nif you watch the movie "the believer," you'll get an amazing and vivid example just how deep hatred can run.

No. I don't categorically write off an entire race. I tend to write off small minded bigots though!

Depends... if you're talking about America the country and it's foreign policy... If that is what you hate.. no. I despise all of the nation states between Turkey and the Japan, but I'm not racist because I have friends from many of those counries and like them.  But, if it means to hate Americans themselves, then you hate ALL races. Everyone has the potential to be an American. But, you can't move to Italy and be Italian. Or France to be French. And you certainly can't Indian or Arabic unless you were born that way. Americans are bound by ethnicity. \n\nYou're stupid to be Anti-American. The world without America would be rubble. We KEEP the peace.

Not all people think it's OK anyway.\nBut if you're against a certain group, you will feel that it's OK to be a racist against them and you will defend the other groups that you're not against.

Are you a member of the National Front or similar organization - your question and past questions would suggest that indeed you are.  Are you trying to stir up hatred against immigrants........just wondering..........

It brings people of the same nation together, but I agree with Bruce that it definitely encourages jingoism and xenophobia.  I am a Germany fan in England and last night had my Germany flag torn down from my window by someone who jumped over the fence into my back garden.

u cant say something like that about a group of people. some may hate westeners and some may be jealous but not all of them fit into 1 of these catagories. im not muslim but it is still offensive to see stereotypes like that on the internet. what if some said do westeners hate the east or are they just jealous. its a stupid and uneducated remark to classify some one by their race, religion... im sure other people feel the same way!

it's not hate, Neo.\ndon't really know what to call it. \nbut the answer to your question goes back 1,400 years to when the Persians were invaded by Arabs, and had the latter's religion imposed upon them. Many Persians (myself included) would tend to blame the Arabs for the demise of their Persian glory (you could really argue that it was their own fault).\nThe hate or dislike or whatever you wanna call it is not really on an individual level, it's just a very general feeling. Ever since I left Iran, I have come to meet some Arab people (Iraqis in fact) who are very respectable people and I hold them in high regard, but I have to admit the general feeling is still there (deep down inside). Having said that, I don't think any Persian - as an individual - would have anything against any Arab - as another individual.\nI hope not to have offended you (IF you're an Arab) or any other Arab readers, for that matter.

I don't think they do "hate" you. They may disagree with you. Look, EVERY person on this earth has had someone mistreat their ancestors at some point throughout history. Much or recorded history reveals our world as having been barbaric and cruel. It is unrealistic to expect that some sort of "damages" or reparations are due to the ancestors of all of the oppressed people. As a Catholic American of polish descent, who do I turn to for cash, considering the plight my "people" went through? How do I sue the Roman Empire or the Third Reich? If we really care about the descendants of the oppressed, than we should promote reparations for all? It's just silly. \nIt's also destructive. At a time when race relations, at least in this country, have never been better, it's irresponsible to continue to bait one side against the other. \nMy kids never owned slaves, they do not have any racial prejudice, and they shouldn't be punished for something that someone did 150 years ago.

Them white boyz... ha ha ha\nWhy are you so worried about bashing white ppl all the time? This happens all the time, in any race, skin color, religion, ethnicity whatever, ppl will associate together if they have something in common and can all relate to. And even if they do that does not mean they're racist, or anti-religious, or anarchist or any other crap. You can be different ethnicity and still be white! This is just a typical stereotypical bashing. Seems cool lately, so you decided why not right? You just sounded more racist and condescending towards others than them white boyz you just described.

No you aren't. The nazi group died with WWII. Only if someone revived it and you were to join it, that would make you a nazi.

I don't hate anyone no matter what there race or ethnic back ground. \n\n"I don't hate Blacks, but I hate their culture."\n\nIt's still hate, may be you simply don't understand our culture? Would that have been better wording?
