Are you PROUD to be Hmong?

[Sweet_Tears]

He is sort of correct in his answer.

He is but I only needed a sentence. hehehe

You cannot be proud to be a Hmong then. Christians are outcasts. I bet your parents associate with no relatives.

There was a guy in Winder,GA who's wife has been ill for a while. Praying did not do jack sh1t to help her. His sorry axx begged relatives to hu nplig and ua neeb. She got well and guess what.. the axxho killed a f*king cow and invited his church nuts, Hmong Alliance, to come and feast thank their god for her recovery. That is the last time relative will help his sorry axx.

Lub ntuj no yeej faib haum haum. Mab dawb coj mab txoj cai, nplog coj nplog txoj cai, kej dub muaj hanakah, suav muaj sauv kev ntsheeg, kau lim muaj lawv kev ntsheeg.....  Hmoob muaj hmoob kev tsheeg.. cov niag ruam thiaj mus tsheeg luav lwm haiv neeg qhov religion.

I am so proud to be Hmong.  I may not have a homeland or my people may not be the best, but in our hearts we are the most loving and for giving people.  Even if we do not have a home land, we still have our solving system between the clans to settle disputes.  We Hmongs are harmless and do not get serious into religion.  I mean there are some strict religious Hmongs (I dated a church girl once and she wanted me to convert even though we knew each other for 4 yrs) who bashed others just because they follow a different route.  Even if there are some hardcome hmong religious group, they do not kill the other group just to claimed their pride.  Hmongs do not kill other groups because of race, religion, disruptions, and others.  I am Hmong and I will love to become Hmong again because we have closed knit family system and can trace our blood linear through our culture or hmong religious practices.

Of course, you should be proud to be Hmong. For people who do not want to be Hmong, they are not even wanted in the Hmong culture. People like that are always dragging Hmong culture back instead of expanding and making the culture better. They should be reborned into other cultures such as Somalians, Han Chinese, and whatever they want to be.
To be Hmong is one of the greatest honours! It is to carry a unique history of years of survival and persecution from evil people for thousands of years. Just look at Hmong people and their history. They have always been the minority in every region they have come upon. They still stand after thousands of years. What happened to everyone else? They became others and assimilate themselves into the bigger group.
Being Hmong is to be proud of your culture and yourself. Be thankful to your ancestors and know that you are part of the strongest race that has battled many enemies and survived to this day. I salute to the Hmong race. 
The Hmong theme is never surrender and fight to the end! Stand tall till Death and even after Death to the next life!

Very Proud now, to see what that french colonel, one of the most surprised cutlures/ethic groups ever..and to see us grow and constantly adapt while keeping things home and stuck together

To be a proud Hmong mean to carry the religion, customs, language and culture of the Hmong. How can one be proud of being a Hmong when he or she bearly know anything about Hmong.

Alot of the young folks that was either born or raised here in the USA has lost touch with their roots in some ways. If you want to know more about where you come from and your history as Hmong, turn to the elders that are still living. They will ge glad to take you under their wings and pass on their knowledge to you. But I find it that most do not want to learn or do not care for the hmong tradition anymore. Some don't even speak or understand the hmong language. Even for myself.. I came here when I was only 6 years old and I still find it hard to say some hmong words. I can't even pronounce it correctly or be a interpreter for my folks because it's hard.

I'm proud to be hmoob and agree with Moospej... As decades passes by, we lose more and more of our culture, religion, customs, and language. I hate to say this but pretty soon, we/our kids will have to pay an mekas person to teach us how to read and write in hmoob. Even these days Mekas people know how to read, write and knows more about our culture and religion then us. So sad... 

It does not matter if your blue, green or white hmoob. "WE ARE STILL HMOOB!!!" with no land call our onw and we should learn how to read and write in hmoob on top of our culture, religion and customs.

I'm so proud that sometimes it gives me the goosebumps....

I agreed 100%. Some people just don't understand. To be a proud Hmong means you are willing to carry on the culture, religion, Hmong talent(Txuj Ci), and most importantly, willing to die for the Hmongs. How can someone say they are proud to be Hmong when they're already converted into Christianity? <---- This mean that you were born as a Hmong, though you are not proud to be one. This includes your birth parents. They are the ones who showed you the path to Christianity, which means they've showed you NOT to be proud of being Hmong or the Hmong!

[realism]

I'm only proud to be myself

In the next life, I don't want to be reborn as a Hmong. Just being honest. I was brought up traditionally and even oppressed, dragged to social and political events, you nod and bow to your elders, you stay silent. Yet we also grew up around Hispanics, Mien and Laotians, Cambodians, Viet. I was exposed to other cultures and esp this American culture. I never really identified with being Hmong or how I'm suppose to behave like.  I use to question my mom why we're to do this and that and she'll just snap and say that's the way its suppose to be. I butted heads with her a lot growing up. She has a strong personality too. I'm not ashamed of my family, I just wouldn't want to be Hmong if given a new life. Its not like fobby Hmong folks don't hate on modernized Hmong families. In fact got relatives like that who harp and critisize about non traditional families that their kids are so bad and can't speak a lick of Hmong. Haha funny I can read and write but I stutter when I speak Hmong. Oh well ain't nobody perfect in this life.

1.  It is not like you were asked to be born a hmong either.

Be proud to who you are now because without it, you are lost

Being Hmong is just an ethnicity I put down on the papers. If a Hmong person turns their back on their culture/people can you blame them?

1.  Why blame them?  Why not just blame yourself?   

It is like this..

First generation, second generation, 3rd generation, (HERE IS YOU), nth generation

pass, pass, pass, FAILED, pass/fail

So tell us again, who is to blame?
