Tom Tancredo speaks to Youth for Western Civilization at CPAC 2009

[Roguefox2006]

It's about time people stood up for western values and culture, theres far to many people out there hating western people and culture.

thankfully the youth of tomorrow will stand up against double standards, discrimination and intolerance against europeans, their history and the culture we created and values we live by.

@1Atomtan if someone said they were proud of their white ethnicity, no one would care. I'm proud of my Dutch and English ancestry. Whatever, no one cares. Pride movements in the US come into being as a result of real (not imagined) persecution from the majority. So, to anyone who thinks white people are becoming disenfranchised in the world, I challenge you to travel to just about any non-white majority country and tell me about the traumatic injustice you face there as a white English speaker.

That is interesting. I didn't know third world countries were the standard that 1st world countries should go by or that because they lack certain "things" that means the West owes them something and should have open borders along with celebrating the decline of European influence in America. Of course Japan and South Korea, rich Asian nations would never think of mass migration EVER! But no only white countries are so nice and listen to crap about they owe the world mass migra

@moronga Being conservative doesn't mean one is a racist, but Tom Tancredo is a racist.. He claims that he's only against illegal immigration, but he really only wants whites of European background, or at least people whobury the cultures from which they originated. He hates anyone who retains a trace of ethnic pride in their background. It's hardly his business if I'm proud to be an American but am also proud of my culture of origin. If he genuinely valued freedom, he'd know that.

@busterbobby

How would you respond. Be honest. If someone stood up and said they were proud of their white ethnicity. Are whites less ethnic than other races? The entire modern attitude on race is in fact racist itself. We have made zero strides...we have only reversed the racism. It's a fact that civil rights would have happened were it not for whites nor would many of the corrections made of things we did wrong in the past. But that part is never remembered .. race is political.

[neoteric90]

this is literally a white-pride movement

[AlfredSwearengen]

@neoteric90 because "White" is synonymous with western civilization itself, with technological/medical/scientif­ic innovation, philisophical notions of noblesse oblige, charity, compassion-- everything good in this world. Now you will counter with "whitey stole the land from the indians," and "slavery". I say so what? Non-whites have done WORSE, and WITHOUT contributing a fraction of the wonderful things Europeans have contributed to civilization, and which non-whites benefit from.

[stickyickyicky1203]

@neoteric90 What's wrong with that? There's black pride movements, and mexo pride movements, and asian pride movements. But wait, those are all celebrated by your marxist-liberals.

[newfish09]

@stickyickyicky1203 There is nothing wrong with white pride, but this looks like a superiority complex. I mean they represent the first world, civilization and built everything and others are trying to ruin that? How full of yourself can you be?

[neoteric90]

"Youth for Western Civilization" is a nice word for Neo-Nazi

Great Job.

[emilianozapata2008]

Awesome! I love it! My parents & I were born in Texas and both speak spanish and english. I think it is necessary to never forget your heritage but never disrespect the U.S. If you want to celebrate your heritage, that's fine, but don't start waiving a mexican flag or any other flag for that matter and act like someone owes us something. If you love it that much go back to that country. Have loyalty, respect and devotion to a country that had men & women die for us & make this country the best!

[donaghec]

Thank God someone is finally standing up for America, and Western Civilization. Great video!
