"White People"

[ArmoBarbi]

I'm not a color. I am Armenian.

Noone IS a color. Go back to my original post, and read the explanation like I told winoman.

Winoman is not Armenian thus his opinion matters little.

Hm - "white pride" you say??

"Wake up White People!"

So - are you proud of being "white"? Why? What is it that you feel you have to claim? Can't we "claim" all human achievements just for being human (wine drinking or otherwise...)...and do you also claim and are you also proud of all the various atrocities and exploitation of "non-whites" that "whites" have managed over the last few milenia or so? Yeah - various Turks, Mongols, and other Asiatics have terrorized the world in their time and comited great atrocities...and maybe we could footnote the Japanese for some more recent wrongdoing...but pretty much other then a few of these marrauding groups - most of of the massively criminal type of actions (genocidal and large scale wars of conquest and associated misery, slavery, religeous persecution...etc etc) have been perpetrated by various folks considering themselves as "whites" ...so yeah - White power! eh?

That isnt what I was suggesting and you know it. Are you not proud of being Armenian? Shouldnt we be proud for what/who we are without having a secret agenda like claiming some achievements? I am proud of being Armenian and European simply because its mine. When I am in an environment where it is not beneficial or even harmful for me to be this I am still proud.

Well - just off the top of my head...Armenians are...well Armenian...a people of Anatolia and the Caucuses...who follow certain traditions/have lived primarily as a sedentary agricultural people with very strong familial bonds...known for their craftsmenship and artistry, their business acumen, their literary and scholarly achievements, their fierce independence and perseverence against great odds - who predominantly display certain physical characteristics (perhaps too numorous too mention at this time) - who share both physical and cultural similarities (incl foods, social practices, common/similar dances, games etc) with many of the peoples ranging from the Balkans, Eastern Medaterranean through Anatolia, the Caucuses and parts of Western Asia, and with those people who inhabit the region sometimes known as the Levant. Some Armenians are under the delusion that Hitler actually liked them and thought of them as his brothers - but most reasonble Armenians know that this is in fact untrue.

I am proud of being Armenian and European ...

Hm - just what part of Armenia - ancient and/or modern lies within the commonly accepted boundaries of Europe?

We have a grasp of who we are - thanks.

Who cares what Hitler thought of us or anyone else?? Any REASONABLE Armenian in this day and age will not listen to Hitlers opinion when establishing their cultural identity. lol

...And winoman wins the Oscar for least helpful post ever! Well done

The Caucusus is geograpically a part of the Russian Core which is considered Eastern Europe. It is west of the Ural Mts, which is the standard used by modern geogrophers when differentiating Eatern Europe from Asia. Take a class?
