Growing up in a 99.9% white area I never felt white pride or white privilege. We were at the lower end of the economic ladder and I felt that everyone else was more privileged than I was. It had nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with parents, choices, habits, and choices of friends.

Liberalism's Bedrock Assumptions It is individualistic at its core. It assumes that the individual takes precedence over the social group. It assumes that individuals cannot reach universal agreement over first principles. I don't think that you can equate Pride of Black history with hate. It is an expression of resistance to the socialized stereotypes that Black people have no history and have made no contribution to history. It is not an expression of supremacy. It is a declaration of resistance to degradation. IMHO

Black pride refers to a movement and a mindset that celebrates and affirms the beauty, culture, and identity of Black people, particularly in response to centuries of systemic racism, oppression, and marginalization. It is a declaration of self-love, self-worth, and self-acceptance, acknowledging the rich heritage and contributions of Black people to human history.

To compare the two, you must be extremely dishonest or absolutely uninformed. White pride has historically been utilised as a rallying cry for racist actions that have caused significant devastation and global consequence. You can't blame fringe groups either, because this phrase was popular no less than 50 years ago and was freely used by the majority of white society; now it's presumably uttered behind closed doors with the original idea in mind. Black pride has never been about the denigration of other people, cultures, or groups, and was purely formed as a response to uplift black people in a highly hostile environment, and as a counter to the "white pride" that often harms black people.

Not one single American that was not born in their “native” country has any clue what it means to be from that country. As for your claim that blacks don’t attack others in their racial background, answer a simple question, can blacks be racist against whites? That answer is yes.

Think about your words, don’t say white pride. Does any other race or culture have to watch their words on pride? One day people will realize we are all one family, the human family. And culture is great and should be celebrated but we have to restore and reconcile everyone back to the good graces of society and not continually shone and punish and oppress people because their ancestors were bad. We should not be punished for the sins of our fathers, especially if we do not behave like them.

On top of that, every nation struggled at some points of a history and also did something horrible to someone else. Most white people had ancestors that suffered as peasants and worked for nobility and royals. Almost like slavery. And some white ancestors were literally a slaves for Arabs, Turks and some other white tribes. Most of white people had to overcome poverty too. It is not like we all are descenders from royals.

@mortekaieve4729 Ай бұрын

@@anantea Whites were also sold as slaves in Africa and Asia as well, not just to other whites, Arabs and Moors. Every race of people was a slave to just about every other group of people at one point or another. Some whites captured by Native Americans were also enslaved and forced to work or die. It was just a fact of life for everyone on earth.

@romans8an1 Ай бұрын

This conversation is really great. It would have yielded greater results if the participants truly knew the history in this country that created the statement 'Black Pride'. One truth is that because in this country EVERYTHING that pertained to being of African 'Black' descent was deemed Evil, Ugly, Distasteful and or Subhuman by 'White' people, then WE 'Black' people fought to make everything 'Black' Beautiful, Strong, Intelligent and just something to take pride in. Historically as Black people we were demonized in a way that it taught and created self hate. We fought to reverse that lie, Black Pride! So yes in a way it is a racial thing because it was born out of racial hatred towards us but it is also Cultural just like Noor stated, because of the culture, we have created with such opposition.

He said it took him 10 years to become a part of African-American culture, but before that he said that black pride is not about skin color, that it is about that experience with slavery and Middle Passage. So then what he meant, when he said he become a part of African-American? He didn't changed history of his ancestor's experience, so then it is about skin colour, and mabye some other things, like clothes, music, and not about actual history? I wish Sam would ask him to explain what he meant saying he become a part of African-American culture.

Is Black pride any different to white pride or asian pride... is gay pride any better than hetero pride? How about a united national pride in UK or USA or France etc... something collective where everyone feels part of something and can be united with others in the community for a common goal. How about more bringing people together instead of encouraging division in community. More importantly how about pride human race in general. Instead of constantly telling each other that humans are bad and destroy the world.
