In all seriousness, I agree with you completely. Apparently when the majority feel the need to express pride, it makes them a bunch of bigots. This fact about society has always confused me.
We could do that (and it wouldn't be racist), or we could forget about the whole "pride" thing and just celebrate humanity, and all of history.
As Morgan Freeman said, "I don't want a Black History Month. Black History is American History".
Exactly! It's a deliberate class/national/cultural division trap when it gets right down to it. If one group "marches to show how proud and in your face" they can be, then another group in compelled to do the same thing and vise versa and its ridiculous when there's no need for either group to be doing anything like that to begin with.
Instead of "pride" marches, surely a better way to prove to the world that -insert cause or label here- is superior to -insert opposing cause or label here- is by making the effort to be a more considerate and decent person within yourself and encourage others to do the same throughout your life and with people you meet, and not in some 4 hour march and drinking session. Right?

So again, I ask you whether only perceived and downtrodded minorities -in your opinion- are allowed to feel proud of their roots and lifestyle without their "pride" being considered as a gross social tabboo, like the way we now perceive the words "white pride".
well are black,gay and even women treated equally as white hetrosexual men in society
