Originally used under colonialism and before civil rights, this phrase expressed appreciation for honorable or gracious behavior, under the assumption that white people were inherently more virtuous. Today, it is generally used sarcastically in reference to underwhelming acts of generosity.
In Jamaica in 1765:
A: I built the slaves a church to hang out in on Sundays, even though I didn't have to.
B: Well, that's mighty white of you.
In Harlem in 2010:
A: I'm feeling so generous, I'm gonna eat my food right next to you so you can enjoy the smell.
B: Well God damn, that's mighty white of you - How could I ever repay you for such a selfless act?

Foolish phrase used by some to show so-called white superiority. Phrase attributed to the south, and coined during days of slavery. Now sometimes said in a sarcastic manner to people who act as they are superior because of their race.
When Bob threw a nickle into the UNICEF can at the office, and said "Those people should be glad I felt so generous." I said to him "That's mighty white of you ass."

A phrase that primarily applies to black women but is also applying more and more to black men in America. Single black women having become disillusioned with being the breadwinner and homemaker of the family. In dating white men, black women have discovered that white men tend to be more financially stable, less likely to cheat, less likely to be abusive, and if there is a pregnancy are more likely to stick around and be a part of the child's life even if the relationship doesn't work out. All things that women want in a relationship.
Greg: Is it true that charice is getting married to a white guy?
Boosie: Yeah, white boys don't fuck around. You always see them with the hottest girls in the neighborhood.
Greg: Why Is she doing that?
Boosie: I asked her and she told me, Once you've had white, you never go back to black.

To engage in decent civilized activities....be law biding citizens!
That's awful white of you not to engage in rioting, looting, and other forms of savagery.
