Speaking up for Civil Rights and confronting issues that face us.
WhitehorseUSA was created out of concern with the state of affairs regarding race relations in the United States of America. As the founder, I realized that there was no clear, concise, and positive message afforded to the white community. In other words, we had no forum to participate in giving a positive message from our community as a whole. The negative voices have more of a platform. I also understand that love, peace, and harmony, do not sell newspapers, but hate, chaos, and disorder do. I would like to strongly emphasize that there is no Guru here, no Mr. know it all, no, we have all the answers and speak for the entire white community. On the contrary, we are just one voice out of many speaking on these important issues, and we need your voice as well. Â
Our Philosophy
At WhitehorseUSA, we have all seen and heard that race relations and the topic of race is a concern of every member of every community, and we must be willing to listen to every voice regardless of whether we disagree or not. As with all communities, the white community is very vast, and we are not monolithic in our experiences and beliefs. From the very poor, to the lower and middle classes, and to the upper class and very wealthy, we will all have different viewpoints on the topic of race and race relations, and these differences are certainly a positive a positive as long as there is an absence of hateful feeling or beliefs. The mission of WhitehorseUSA is to promote a positive message and image of the white community to the non-white communities, to enhance our relationships with other communities, and to walk together to distance ourselves from any negative speech or behaviors that arises internally or externally from each of our communities. As stated, the white community is very vast and the negative behavior coming from certain members of our community, is but a small sliver of our entire community as a whole. There is an important goal of advertising the importance of a more positive message that needs to be heard from the white community, as the small number of negative messages and behaviors that we see from certain members of our community on all forms of media, drowns out of all of the vast amounts of positive voices and behaviors that come from within our community. We ask for more positive messages to be told from both inside and outside our community, to better advance civil rights and race relations.
ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION WITH REGARDS TO RACE OR RACE RELATIONS:
Whenever someone speaks, or whatever behavior they exhibit, does it advance race relations in the United States of America, or does it not?
More About WhitehorseUSA
Empowered by a steadfast commitment to civil rights principles, WhitehorseUSA aims to be a beacon of hope for change. Hopefully our positive message will drown out any negative thoughts and ideas and convince those small numbers spreading hate and discourse to change their views. We also believe that all communities face the same issues within their communities and that the best course of action is that we all work on our own issues within our own communities, rather than attempting to correct others in other communities. Another goal of WhitehorseUSA is to offer outreach programs, designed to change the mentality and behaviors of those that espouse anger and hate towards others on the basis of race, religion, or other factors. This is a very important aspect of the organizations founding, as the negative behaviors and images have cast a very large and lasting negative effect on the white community. Lastly, aside from our goal of giving the white community a voice at the table of race relations, of creating and promoting a positive voice and image of the white community to other communities, of working arm and arm with other civil rights organizations to find solutions to the problems of race related issues, to reach out and convince members of hate groups to change their way of life, we ask all members of the white community to lend your positive voice to the conversation. The black community and the non-white community have been wanting and waiting for a conversation on race for a very long time. Now is the time to have that conversation.  Â
Racism
Academic researchers say that race is a social construct and that there is no difference genetically between humans. In other words, we categorize each other by race from the differences we see in our appearances. One question often asked is, "can anyone from any race be a racist"? The answer is yes. Quite simply, when people see others as different than themselves, they can at times feel threatened, intimidated, fearful, uncomfortable, or even hateful because of the differences. It has often been told that the only people who can be racist is those that hold power. Although that can also be true, with the ever-changing power structure in the United States, both politically and socially, the definition of certain terms and words have also changed. Racism is when an individual or group believes that they are superior because of their race and discriminate based on that belief. Also, any individual or group, who without evidence or cause, speaks negatively, or who disparages, demeans, degrades, or is hateful to any individual or group because of their race, is considered a racist. If you falsely call someone a racist or any other derogatory term, you are simply being mean to that person and therefore you are the one being racist. Remember, as we are all humans, we all have the same capability of being whatever humans do, both good and evil.  Â
