White Pride?

[paulpablo]

Huh. I'm proud of my heritage and my ancestry. I'm proud of the history before they came to this country. But am I proud to be white? I dunno, I don't think about it. I also don't think about how I'm blonde, and taller than average.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure pride is the right word to describe how I feel. Connected is better. A sense of identity, of continuity, would be a better description.

But yeah, I don't get having pride over a genetic accident. Like having pride over having two arms. So what? And forming an in-group based on it is even more illogical.

I don't really think people actually do have a problem with pride in race, but you would have to be naive to not notice that a lot of times "I have racial pride." is actually another way of saying "I'm a racist".

Personally if I had blonde hair, I'd be proud because people with blonde hair are quite rare worldwide, relatively speaking.
I always think that most rare characteristics look good, and I'd be proud if I had these characteristics.
Like I once dated a half Indian half black girl with blue eyes, and I loved the way that looked. If I looked like that I'd be proud of the rarity I think.
I've always wanted to have green eyes, or even better, like David Bowie, have two different eye colors.
I wouldn't look down on people who didn't look like me, but I'd probably go out of my way to avoid wearing sunglasses or hats.

I don't think there should be a black pride movement personally because adversity can be faced by any race or person, and calling it black pride makes it racist when it could actually be something that unites working class black people and white people and any other people whatever class or race they are who face true tough adversity.

There's lots of organizations I think that have potential in being a credit to the population but spoil it with racist idiocy.
Like the EDL in England is supposedly about stopping Islamic rules, pedophilia and sharia law in England, yet in reality the followers and even the leaders I think are not much more than drunken racist wasters.
Their followers will do nazi salutes while at the same time as supporting Israel against Muslims, while at the same time as being in support of Anders Breivik.
