Racial Pride

Discussion in 'Fashion & Lifestyle Trends' started by rallydrift, Nov 18, 2012.

  1. Not to be ignorant or racist or anything but has anyone noticed how its not okay to be proud and white anymore? Like a black man can yell black pride and be proud to be black but when a white man does the same like yelling white pride and what not he is instantly labelled as racist. When/Why did it become frowned upon to be proud and white!?
     

  2. hmm, maybe when some dipshits with sheets and pillow cases got all uppity and in every-bodies face with their hate based vile spewing.

    history, you should check it out...;)
     
  3. A lot of people go on hear say or what some of their friends are saying...really Op I think you should do some research before you open a giant can of worms.

    people have been oppressed for many many years and now they are free to celebrate.
     
  4. i know they are free to celebrate but it seems as though white people are bending over backwards for them because of guilt from our past, a past that many of us aren't even related to

    I see his argument though, and there are black hate groups too, like the black panthers. Its still not offensive to white people when blacks claim pride in their race.

    I don't think most colored people really care about people being proud of their race though. They are offended when whites feel superior to blacks, which is perfectly understandable. I'm happy with being white, but I like black people just as much as white people.
     
  6. The Black Panthers aren't a hate group. They focused more on black rights and self-defense, as opposed to going around the country lynching people because of their skin color.

    True to an extent, I'd still say they hate white people though. I'm also not saying their hatred wasn't justified, I just personally would classify them as a hate group.
     
  8. Couldn't have said it better ^
     
  9. I don't think I even want to get in a conversation with someone who still says "colored people"
     
  10. WOW@ this thread.

    OP, It's fine to be proud of your whiteness and all, but the phrase "white power" was most often accompanied by lynchings, horrific violence and intimidation specifically targeting Blacks and Black supporters. That's why it's, like, taboo to say these days. On the other hand, the phrase "Black Power" was accompanied by social and cultural revolution, a push for change and civil rights for Blacks. Do you see the difference?

    And the Black Panther party was NOT a hate group, Cranegame. The KKK was a hate group, as were the Nazis. Please read a book regarding just how many hate motivated killings and how much cultural devastation these two groups alone caused, then compare it to the Black Panther Party activities before you classify them as a hate group. Even if you go no further than Wikipedia for your answer, I'm sure you'll see the difference.
     
  11. There is only one race, the human race. But read up on Ham's Curse and you will see why militant groups form against caucasians.
    That and the fact white people have just been assholes to a lot more non-whites than whites throughout history :rolleyes:
     
  12. why be proud of something that means nothing. Putting value to color is foolish
     
  13. It's the new black panthers group that is the blak equivalent of the kkk. The original black panthers were a group that was for equal rights and fair treatment. The new black panthers have put the old black panthers name to shame.
     
  14. And yes I spelled black as 'blak', it's proper yo
     
  15. Explain how whites bend over backwards for other races. Then explain how all the other races are lazy because it's the white people doing all the work. Then explain how it's easier to get higher positions at jobs and the scholarships to go to college because you are colored.

    Most people who start off a sentence with "Not to be racist..." are about to say something racist, ignorant, or just plain stupid.

    But I don't think you're a racist. I feel that anyone who does illegal drugs can't hold their nose up to anyone else. But I stray...

    It's all fine and dandy to say white pride. You're white, you're entitled to be proud, and anyone who gets offended by a simple proclamation of pride isn't really worth your time anyway.
     
  16. If you know anything about the Black Panther Party then you know it was notorious for acts of violence, including shootouts with police and murdering their own members. They would carry around shotguns and rifles chanting stuff like "The revolution is upon us". They used violence to try to advance the interests of black people at the expense of others. They wanted all black people released from prison. They thought all blacks should be exempt from military service.

    They tortured and murdered a 19 year old kid in '69 because they suspected he was a police informant. They ambushed and killed cops. Their ideaologies may have been slightly different, but I assert that they're just as despicable an organization as the KKK.
     
  17. Quite frankly I look upon anyone who says "Black power" or "White power" as racist. Though when hearing white power i do thing of the KKK and lynch mobs.

    We as a society will never get over racism as long as everyone is always focused on the color of everyone's skin. White power? Black power? Fuck racial pride. The thing we need to have pride in is us as human beings.
     
  18. I think that any sort of racial pride is stupid, it's just as bad extreme nationalism. So what if you're white, or black, or any other combination of ethnicities, at the root of it all we all have a pair of hands, a pair of legs, a brain (hard to believe with some people) and we're all human. I consider myself to be a race realist, I won't condemn the entire ethnic group for an action perpetrated by a few, regardless of their ethnicity. I'm white and I know we're just as capable of being cunts as everyone else is.
     
  19. The New Black Panther party is just as bad as the KKK in their hate filled rhetoric.


    White Pride? Black Pride? Asian-Pacific Islander Pride?

    Why can't we just have Cultural Appreciation? Oh wait, I believe we do.


    Greek Fests, etc.

    I think whites should just stop being guilty.
    Unless there is something you remember from your personal past that gives you somethingto be guilty about.
    Stop calling me brother, it makes me feel like you are trying too hard. Just say hey you if you dont know my name. Thats what I do to you.
    You can call me whatever racial slur you want. We can have a awesome debate. You will lose though because more than likely you have been raised to look at life with a type of tunnel vision.
    Your side of the conversation will end a LONG time before mine.
    And.......if you wanna get violent in 2012....... I have been just waiting to use most of this stuff ive been collecting over the years in a real setting.

    At the end of the day just smile and everything will be okay. You are not better than me.....at all so with that being said lets just look at eachother as humans.

    If we were both broke we would be on the exact same level and you would have to make some new friends......wouldn't you?

    Fuck race
