There are different types of pride. A parent can feel great pride in their children's achievements. Part of that will be born of their part in creating the child and raising it to make those achievements. But part of it will be a pride born of love or close association. That is a different source of pride to the personal pride one takes in one's own achievements.
The pride I feel in my heritage is born of *thinks* associating into, identifying with that heritage. What is important to me about that heritage is not connected with skin colour, but rather with cultural associations and a sense of my place in the chain. My world is not just made up of what is, but also of what has been.
