Pride comes before a fall

Answer 4

I think its because we have had a taste of white pride and strangely enough, The Indians and the Mexicans and the Africans, just to name a few, decided to have something else for dessert.

Answer 5

Democrats control the press.  It is as simple as that.

Answer 6

Because some blacks and g**s segregate themselves deliberately from others and then purposely seek out reasons to complain or sue someone. They feel they're special.

Answer 7

The people who think that are racist!

Answer 8

because white straight is becoming a minority with no rights

Answer 9

When whites become as they surely will an oppressed minority then maybe we will have a voice, I agree with you I am proud of my culture too but unfortunately pride in a white culture is no longer fashionable, it is a shame because like you we can learn a lot from others but we seem to be unable to wave a flag for fear of being called rascist.

Answer 10

It is ok to be proud of your race or racial haritage but it goes over-board when people attack others racial backgrounds. White Pride is often associated with the latter. As a white person I am privilaged because of my race but so whould other races. As a person above said, we have very little to complain about in regards to who we are. But that is my spin on it.

Answer 11

I'm white and g*y and I'm proud of alot of things that I have done in my life--you can be proud of yourself for any reason, it's never wrong or evil!  Some people just like to get offended when other people stand up for themselves, that's all.  It seems like getting offended has become the all-American past time these days.  I guarantee you that if you say something in public that someone, somewhere will call you a bigot, a hatemonger or evil--oh,well, to h**l with 'em!

Answer 12

It's fine to be proud of yourself and your culture, but black and g*y people have pride movements for two reasons.  First, they're proud of putting up so well with all the S**t they have to.  White, straight people just don't have to deal with that c**p, as we're the dominant group.  Secondly, blacks and g**s have long been told that they, well, suck.  That they're second-class, that they're less than we are.  They need to instill some pride in who they are, because the predominant culture has tried to take all of that away from them.

White pride is also very much tied in with white supremacist movements.  No one's _better_ than anyone else because of the color of their skin or who they fall in love with.  g*y and black pride aren't about that (though some pervert the original intent, sure), but white pride often is.

Answer 13

well, the thing is that what do white people need to protest about or fight for? exactly, so there is no need to have 'white pride'

Answer 14

Unfortunately, white pride is ususally associated with demeaning others.  

Besides, the whole point of X pride is to celebrate that being different from the majority is OK.  It's kind of pointless to celebrate BEING the norm.

Answer 15

Why do you need our permission to be proud?

You don't need our permission and you should not care about our criticism.

Answer 16

A couple of things:

1. Race is a cultural construct; there are no biologically discrete racial categories.

2. There is no such thing as "white culture". One's culture is determined by complex and subtle socialization and enculturation, not by the color of your skin. You are not born with culture. "White" people represent a large number of different cultures and cultural viewpoints, from the simple fact that their place of origin-- Europe-- is a very culturally diverse place. American culture is ill-defined, and because we live in a diverse nation, it would be wrong to claim that "American culture"="white culture", "Anglo-European culture", or even "European culture". We live in a multi-cultural society; all of the groups that have come to live here have contributed to "American culture".

3. Why are you proud of your race? I disagree with the concept of black pride as well, but I realize the necessity of it: they are still striving to overcome hundreds of years of second class citizenship or worse. However, my disagreement with the concept of black pride doesn't come from a desire to be proud of being white. Rather, I disagree with the idea that we should be defined by race. You say that "what's good for one is good for the other". That implies that there is a fundamental separation between black and white (or among all the so-called races of the world), one that does not exist biologically, only culturally. I refuse to see myself as being fundamentally different from any other individual, whether they be black, white, straight, g*y, man, or woman. We are all human beings and fundamentally all the same; our differences are only superficial.

Answer 17

The g*y pride movement is about having self esteem in the face of discrimination. In an ideal world, g*y people would not have to proclaim that they are proud of being g*y because it would simply be a neutral characteristic that does not carry stigma. g*y pride is a reaction to hatred. You have to understand the "pride" movements of marginalized social groups in that context.

Since white privilege is the standard, a pride movement for it is unnecessary. Due to you being born white, you've inherited a certain legacy and certain privileges, but you did nothing personally to achieve whiteness, so what is there to be proud of?

Of course people are often proud of something they have no control over, like where they are born or how beautiful they are, so you're definitely not alone in your white pride.

Answer 18

Define "White" culture.  Do you mean you are descended from  white rose house of  the Brits in the war of the roses?  I have pride in my ancestry but I zero tolerance for intolerant people who presume to know me by the color or lack there of in my skin.   I am secure enough to not feel threatened when a disenfranchised group stands up for itself.

Answer 19

You see the thing is Saint, g*y and black pride is expressed as a reaction to oppression. That oppression comes from hetrosexual white culture. White, straight pride is given general respect as a matter of course. you can still be proud of it but its a bit like having an "m n' m's are sweet" march

Just something us straight white boys have to put up with really, wanna swap the oppression for the right to march?

Answer 20

EQUALITY has gone a bit off here . It seems Whites are disadvantaged when it comes to standing up for their rights too . RACE/sexuality  are  used too often to positively discriminate I thought human rights were for all. Live and let live.

Answer 21

Because throughout history Black people and g*y people have been oppressed minorities and the pride thing is kind of a way of celebrating the fact that they are now accepted in civilised society.  Whites have never been an oppressed minority so ther is no need to make such a statement.

Answer 22

one of my moms best friends started a white people club in high school (they had a black club)

Answer 23

because special interest have taken over the world
