Then tell me straight up.

Why white people cannot be proud to be white?


We got every other demographic, so proud and announcing who they are.

Some white guy does it and he is some NAZI KKK dude.

Can white people not be proud of who they are and express it like everyone else does, without getting virtue signaled?


I hope this stays rational and honest.

I'm "white" and proud of it. ALL people need to be proud of who they are, regardless of "race". OTOH: if talking nazis, Islamists, la raza and so on; their kind need to watch their manners. Period.

Nothing wrong with being a white guy, as I am, but what happened in Charlottesville (assuming based on the NAZI reference) was both expressly done as a NAZI and disgraceful.

White males, and generally everybody, in America won the birthing lottery no doubt about it. We could be rural subsistence farmers in Africa or women sold into the sex trade in Thailand.

If someone wants to hang around with their own kind,I see no prob with that. The problem starts when violence (a.k.a. laws) is used to force associations.

I'm grateful for my culture/ethnic heritage and proud of what my family and I have accomplished, by the grace of God.

Color isn't really an identity, imho.

I am white and damn proud of it. I would not want to be anything else but white.

Why should you be proud of an accident by birth?

You should be proud of the accomplishments of you and your children not your skin color.

Minorities are taught to express racial pride to counteract past and to a lesser degree present racism.

What reason is there to express white pride?

Who is starting this "White Privilege" crap?
What is the end goal?

This cannot end well

I am white but I consider myself a person first- and don't go with a white flag up in the air to tell someone I am white and represent something DIFFERENT

I am proud of who I am, not what I am. My whiteness is not the source my pride. My political beliefs are not a source of pride either. My pride is derived from faithfully waking up every morning, working 8-12 hours a day doing what I love, and encouraging others to work hard to fulfill their dreams and contribute. I lead by example, and that is how respect and admiration is earned. No one can take that away from me.
