To understand black versus white pride you have to look at how they started.

Black, Hispanic, Gay pride was started because society told these groups that they should be ashamed of who they are and then the pride movement was reactionary to that.

Never has overall society told whites to be ashamed of their skin, so the only reason for white pride is jealously of black pride or a counter moment to black pride, which is more or less baseless and childish.

Although, skin color is different from heritage. Heritage actually as some meaning, where as skin color, like hair or eye color, means shit.

Can you say "backlash?"

I don't know about you, but I've been pretty well told that everything in history is someway my fault, even though I wasn't there.

i'm a 33 year old straight, white male. sometimes when i look at how hard i've worked to scrape by and then get to where i am now, i think "wow, how did i have time to do that while i was busy holding back and oppressing blacks, mexicans, women, and gays?"
