Or, more likely, you just think "white cultures" have done the most because your primary and secondary education, ya know, didn't tell you shit about any other cultures.

Why is it weak and dumb to bring something like this up? I think it matters, a lot more than whatever your stupid video does. Maybe you need to wake the fuck up.

Just to make people think and to see how people feel about this. I was thinking about it the other night and basically my feel is that any mention of pride in being white is frowned upon and looked at as a fringe part of society ala white supremacists. On the other hand I also think that pride in being black / latino is not looked at as fringe, but instead it is looked at as a good thing and supported by the media.

One thing I said that I would never do



Look at it this way. Being proud you are "white" is dumb because you are just saying "Hey my skin is white and I am god damn proud about that!" But when someone says they are proud they are African American or Latino that is a cultural thing. You are proud of your African American/Latino culture/heritage. There is a lot of "white" cultural pride as well. You have St. Patty's day when everyone who is Irish celebrates being Irish. You have Oktoberfest for Germans. You can go around and say "I am proud to be a gerd damn American!" and you can be white and it is great!

To summarize: Saying being proud you are white is stating you are proud of your skin color while saying you are proud to be Black/Latino is being proud in a culture. It is socially acceptable to be proud in a culture, but being proud of your skin culture is just plain daft.

I agree completely. Being part Polish, I can definitely say that I have nothing to be proud of in that regard.
