View Full Version : To the "White Americans" : Are you in touch with your roots?

The unfortunate (and intentional) side effect of the 'Americanization' process that took place when European immigrants came to America was that many of them lost touch with their true European history and ethnicity upon spending generations in America.

In fact, this was even more encouraged by the people already in power in american (british descendents) by changing the last name of Euro immigrants upon arriving on Ellis Island to generic bullshit names like "Johnson" and "Smith".

I have noticed that many "white americans" when asked of their nationality or ethnicity they generically say "american". When asked what their families were before that many of them don't know.

My question to you is this:

Do you know your true European roots? If so, are you proud of it? Are you more proud of the thousands of years of history you family had in Europe than the less than 300 years your family has had here?

All people are welcome to this discussion, but the reason why I am specifically asking so called "white americans" is because unfortunately it isn't as easy as simply looking at your skin tone to determine your history.

I'll answer once a few go first, or if it goes slow I'll end up answering soon, but I really am curious onto how others feel about this.

Well, I'm a 4th generation German Immigrant (with a little Russian and Irish on the side). My family before now lived in a small town in Kansas that was a German settlement.

I've heard I have some family in the black forest region...

Other than that, not really. I don't wear lederhosen, don't speak very good German, and don't mimic any of their culture except eating sausage from time to time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lederhosen#Traditional_German_boys.27_clothing
"Traditionally, lederhosen were worn by Germanic men of the Alpine and surrounding regions, including Austria, the highlands and mountains of Southern Germany, the German-speaking part of Italy's province of Bolzano-Bozen (formerly part of Austria until after WWI) and Switzerland. [http://www.marquise.de/de/ethno/bayern/lederhosen.shtml

...

German boys up to the age of about 16 used to wear lederhosen. These lederhosen were less decorated than the Austrian tracht (mainly with regards to embroidery) but retained some typical attributes like the suspenders/braces, and drop front style flap. Even today, some German and French boy scouts wear various forms of lederhosen, although in most cases they do not form part of the official uniform. Lederhosen was also used by Austrian boys as well from the 1930s to the 1960s. Nowadays they are wearing them in special cases, like in a Biergarten or on a Zeltfest. The Austrian girls are wearing the Dirndl as a part of the tracht. They are also worn by all Canadian males on the Day of Hosen"

It's not that simple for hispanics either. I have 1 blue-eyed grandmother and some 2nd cousins in Spain, but beyond that I don't know how "mixed" I am, what part of Spain some of my ancestors are from, or what central-american indian tribe the more distant(not my grandmas grandmas, rather the settlers) Spanish ancestors raped. I can't think of anyone that can just look at their skin and know their roots.

The only thing I meant by that is that if you are a person of color you even if you don't know the exact place your family is from, you still know by seeing that you aren't the stereotypical "generic white american" that most people try to consider themself. By being a person of color in america, you know automatically that you have a history beyond just the bullshit americanization you ancestors were subjected to.

I think that it is sad most European Americans consider themselves "white" or "american" and reject any thoughts of their ancestry before the last 250ish years.

And the idiots preaching "white supremacy" and the stupidest of all, as if "white" was a race. I don't mean to bring race issues into this, but it is relevant because in america light skinned people consider themselves white, however in Europe people are considered by their actual nationality (German, Russian, Swedish, French, etc).

By using the generic term "white", you are rejecting your true nationality and erasing it with one flawed term.

Think about it.

Think about it.

Think about this:

We fought a war against Europe to (yes, propandish, I know) liberate ourselves from our European roots. Why would anyone of American descent with ancient roots in Europe consider that their "true" nationality?

I am an American long before I'm a fucking Swede, and that half of my ancestry wasn't even involved in the Revolutionary war. My ancestors came here to make a better life for themselves, and helped build this country into what it is today. Why the hell would I care about the traditions of some other country that I have only a smattering of blood ties to anymore? Why honour THEIR traditions instead of making our own?

If people want to get all sappy and sentimental about roots in some country their "people" used to be a part of, more power to them.

However, MY "people" are THIS country. That means African-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Native American, Euro-Americans, etc - they're all my people. Not the damn swedes.

True, white is an ignorant term intended to lump people into a broad category with no meaning to anyone other than people who pretend the colour of one's skin matters. However, if your people and traditions are wholly centered on some dead assholes in another country, then maybe you should go back there.

And no, before some asshole says it, denoting your lineage with something like African-, Chinese-, or wtf'ever doesn't mean you need to gtfo.

This is no more to the point than the fact that all humans don't say "I'm african." (Supposed origin of all homo sapien sapiens) Furthermore, I doubt any black Americans know or give a fuck if they're ancestors are from what is now Known as Zimbabwe or the Congo, they just say they're ancestors are from Africa.

But MY real opinion is this: I'm a fucking individual. How I act, believe, etc has no bearing on where my genes are from and I could care a lot less who came before me. Culture and tradition are illusory, I'd rather not imitate some conformist code of living from 1,000 years ago. I'd rather make my own. I.e. - "getting to your roots" is bullshit imo.

Did you ever think for a second why they don't know their ancestral roots? Africans have had the first and worst form of americanization. Families where split, names were of course changed (remember Roots?) and history was erased to the best of the ability of the slave owners. It is not beneficial for the slave owners to have Africans in touch with their history because they wanted them to forget about all of that. Not to mention, notice that no one born here speaks their native African tongue. The slave masters would beat the Africans if they got caught not speaking english. This eliminated the obvious ties to their true identity. So why would someone who was enslaved, beaten, and shit on by "americans" claim to be one himself? It doesnt make sense to me.

But MY real opinion is this: I'm a fucking individual. How I act, believe, etc has no bearing on where my genes are from ...

Haha, you don't know very much about sociology I guess. I thought all that "Im an individual" shit until I took a sociology class and it blew my mind. No matter where you are, the environment you grow up in determines what you see as normal and not. For instance in Africa it may be normal to eat bugs or build houses out of dung, however if someone did this here you would call the police. Also, despite how unique you think you are, you have more in common with your neighbors than you think. You probably eat similar food, like similar tv shows/music, or share a similar style. People from other countries would think you are quite similar because you and your neighbors all share a similar ways of being raised.

...and I could care a lot less who came before me.

Why do you not care? I doubt your family was in this country for more than 300 years, and if they were, are you still not curious to where you family was before then? The reason you feel the way you do is because america has forced your past generations to immediatly forget about their true culture and liniage, because if you were in touch with it, you and everyone else in your nationality would not tolerate what america has done to your true nation in the past. america has fucked every country in the world at some point, in some way. If people were actively proud of their true nation they would not tolerate this, and the would not fight for the american military. There are probably people of Native american decent in the military. This is because of americanization. They feel american enough to want to die on behaf of america. But WHY should the Native american people (people who were genocided by america) want to fight FOR america and not against? Because america was successful in americanizing them, just as they have you.

Nope. I to don't give two shits about my families history or lineage not because of "americanization" but because of my existential philosophical beliefs that I picked up on in college. I don't care about my roots because it was in the past and for all I know I could have disliked my ancestors due to their god awful personalities.

Heres the thing man, white people don't need to stick to their culture because they are the dominant race and least oppressed in America. Asians, blacks, mexicans in order for them strive and become successful they need to take great pride and unity due to being somewhat oppressed by America (blacks way more then others) . Take filipinos for example. I can't tell you how many times I hear some filipino yell "FILIPINO PRIDE" all the fucking time in SF. I truly do believe they are yelling this because they feel extremely oppressed by America. Us white people don't need to fucking unite because.... well most of us have it pretty easy. I think in the future as you see more and more wealthy minority families youll see less and less cultural ties. This is why I think most philosophers who didn't really believe in culture were white.

Going on that, it would explain why the biggest proponents of "white pride" are impoverished whites. The depraved ones turn to racism as an outlet. Of course, their explanation is that more educated and successful whites don't see something about jews that they do. LOL.

--Cr@sh

"Couldn't care less" seems to mean "I absolutely do not care whatsoever."

"I could care a lot less" seems to mean "I don't care that much at all, but understand it still has some importance."

In this case, my genes that have been passed down to me, which have atleast some importance.

Thus, I decided to use the latter statement.

Yes, I agree. Still, more to my point is that they don't really care, just as I don't. You are simply talking culture. England's culture via a few hundred years ago really has very little to do with me. I don't take Victorian morals to be of great importance, nor do I care much for Christianity, nor feudalism. This were the ideals and beliefs of some people that came before me, they're NOT MINE.



Haha, you don't know very much about sociology I guess. I thought all that "Im an individual" shit until I took a sociology class and it blew my mind. No matter where you are, the environment you grow up in determines what you see as normal and not.

People from other countries would think you are quite similar because you and your neighbors all share a similar ways of being raised.



Actually I do and a whole lot more. I don't even really believe the "I" exists, I'm simply talking on a social/entity level to be functional. Of course we are genes + environment, but one's culture from the past has no bearing on me. Why do I not care that my ancestors are English, anymore than they may have been Irish? It really doesn't matter. I have my own ideals, beliefs, mores, etc (culture), which has little to do with these past and distant cultures (beside the fact that some of my own ideals may be copied from past societies.)

Yes, I do have a lot in similar to my neighbors, which is more to my point. The current zeitgeist and milieu in which I live has a lot more bearing on my existence than do past ones. My best friends are: 1 asian, 1 white, 2 black, and the fact that we all grew up in the same town, in the suburbs, etc have 1000x more to do with who we are than the fact that people 10 generations before us lived in much different places.



Why do you not care? I doubt your family was in this country for more than 300 years, and if they were, are you still not curious to where you family was before then?

You are just talking in abstract nonsense. "True nation," what is that? It is not MY true nation. You must distinguish between an individual and some abstract concept of lineage you have. No one has any "true nation" in the way you speak, it is just an illusion. Sure, maybe your ancestors came from england 500 years ago, but what about before that? Oh, it was northern germany! Before that? Oh, it was around modern-day Slovakia, and so on and so on till you're back in Africa. You are just collectivizing people far too much - racially, by lineage, etc and ignoring that these people are all individuals and have only experienced their own experiences.

Yep, I'm a first generation immigrant from Russia. Am I in touch? Well, considering all my family is in Russia and various slavic countries, that I visit regularly and am fluent in Russian.... looks like I am.

Do I consider myself American now? For good or bad, yes I do. I will most likely live the rest of my life here, unless of course the economy sinks completely, and I could be making sick money back in Russia (which I actually could already be doing, although the difference isn't enough to make me want to move back yet).

Youre lucky that you havent severed all connection with your past, even at 5 generations. That is more that many "americans".

Austrailia still has obvious ties to the commonwealth, but america has done everything it can to wash people of their history.

What is with you people and your fucking "roots". You're American, and the vast majority of you have fuck-all to do with Europe beyond your last name. Even those that do hold onto their roots are still American.

There's a great episode of The Sopranos that is about this...the one where Tony's crew goes to Napoli to make some negotiations. The characters romanticize their origins so much, always talking about "my family's from such-and-such", yet they're still tourists with no idea of what it really is like to be an Italian.

If you are born and raised in America, then the ONLY thing you really are is American.

Another thing: What do you guys even think your culture is? Do you think you're descended from German royalty? Do you think your great, great, great (etc.) grandfather designed Paris? Are you related to Picasso or something?

More than likely, you descended from poor people that did nothing more than live their lives and raise their kids. Your great, great, great grandmother cooked, and your great, great, great grandfather worked. Surprisingly similar to the life you currently know, isn't it?

And shit...even if you do some distant blood connection to a historical figure, what the fuck does that have to do with you? The accomplishments of some random great European historical figure have as much to do with you as they do with some random tribesman in Africa.

I'm not White but I don't remember that bullshit; anyway there's plenty of caucasians I know with last names like 'dudek' (polish name) and Schneider (German one), and Guilfoyle (French name).

And as far as I can tell yes they identify HEAVILY with their ethnicity. See all the St. Patrick's Day and Pulasky Day parades, placing irish/polish/italian flags on their cars and wearing clothes with it, etc. I know a LOT of white peple who can tell me how much of them is polish/british/german/etc...lol.

Actually they are interested in where the came from, what with their original name, culture and religion taken from them and smashed into pieces-which they're trying to put back together..

Not to mention, notice that no one born here speaks their native African tongue. The slave masters would beat the Africans if they got caught not speaking english.

Actually the Gullahs in South Carolina managed to keep their language to a greater extent than the rest of the African slaves in the US. But most blacks speak at least some AAVE ("Ebonics"); especially in majority-black areas...

You probably eat similar food, you got me. Fried Chicken and the like. Though I dont' eat cheese-so I order my pizza without it. LOL they're always lilke 'WTF' at me ordering Pepperoni Pizza with no Cheese.

like similar tv shows/music,I wish; few people around here know of Legend of Galactic Heroes, Space Battleship Yamato and the like...most people watch the the popular animes; if they watch Anime at all....

then again it makes it nicer to connect to peple if we're similar w00t!

EDIT: By the way, ladies, I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to become involved with other cultures.

But 1) your only "true country" is the one in which you are born in raised (or more specifically, the one that you have the most experience in), and 2) sitting in middle America waving a flag around and talking about "pride" is not how you get in touch with other cultures. As of now, any assimilated immigrant in Europe is much more of a European than you twats.

i wish i heard more whites considering themselves american. maybe its a northeast thing, but i know of plenty 3rd/4th generation americans that are very intouch with their roots, however diluted they maybe...

i may converse with my grandparents in french [they're full blooded french canadians], but thats more out of the novelty in that they think in french rather than english..

It's the same through the US in major cities. There's South Side Irish (And downtown) Irish Parades, Pulaski Day parades, etc.

You live right by New York Fuckin' City (some of Connecticut is included in the New York Metro Area) so of course it's different for you guys. Brooklyn is well-known for that, for example

I don't think your ugly. I think we both are doing this for arguments sake and nither of us give a shit because we have just being checking back once a day to respond with meaningless shit instead of talking about anything to do with the thread.

You're in no position to talk about looks anyway, even more so because of how much you like those "blonde haired, blue eyed white bois".

Also, "almost" full blooded. One is half and the other 3/4.

Suck a dick.

So anyways, back to the topic children and not playground bickering...

Do you think destroying culture is good for the people?

America not only destroyed the culture of people that came TO this country, but it also destroys culture of far away lands by "americanizing" them through forcing products and stores and culture on them. Since mcfattys has opened hundreds of locations in China, the rate of Chinese obesity has raised. All of the mom and pop restruants that have been open there for hundreds if not thousands of years are struggling to stay in business because the monopoly of mcfattys is taking over.

Mcdonalds and other MNC's (multi national corporations) are forcing the worst of american bullshit 'culture' to the forefront of other nations.

Is this right?

What's funny is that in spanish nobody is politically correct enough to call them asians. Young and old people alike call them all "chinos", regardless of whether they're from Korea, Japan, Vietnam or whatever. If they have the eyes, theyre chino, or more affectionately, chinito. Like, mira esos chinitos= look at those little chinks :)

What the fuck are you talking about?

Even in the "Americanized" tourist areas, the culture is still there. Koreans that have KFC, McDonalds, and big shopping centers are still Koreans. When you go to smaller cities, there's hardly any "Americanization" at all. Pull your face out of your ass, and then post.

You're right, "destroy" is probably too harsh a word, "pollute" is better.
