Why can't i say white pride?

Question

black people can say "black pride"
asians can say "asian pride"
and latinos can say "latino pride"
but I'm racist if I say "white pride"?
why?

Answer 1

Because for a long time White pride has been associated with things like White supremacy, National Socialism/Neo Nazism and the Ku Klux Klan etc.

In your case, it would be more politically correct to claim a national pride (like, Proud to be an American, Canadian, etc.) rather than a racial pride. Also these other groups that claim pride like Blacks, Latinos, gays, etc. are in the minority. Some see it as them standing up to a 'majority' and saying. "We exist and we are not going to be ignored,etc." Whites are already over the industrialized first world complex.

Personally I see nothing wrong with being proud of your race or ethnic heritage, as long as it's not at other peoples expense.

Personally I don't need racial pride to love myself, I know who I am.

Answer 2

In the U.S., Whites are silenced. You are not allowed the same rights as blacks, and many other races. If you are White and try to speak out like other races, you will be called "racist". Many Whites do not want to go through being labelled as such, so they just abide by the silent code of "Hush, Whitey!" It's a shame really.

Answer 3

i imagine i'm secure in conserving that Black delight began as an attempt to strive against black shame, i.e. feeling ashamed to be black for obvious historic motives; appears to be like an attempt to promote the idea that blacks are as solid as everybody else. White delight -- now that i visit't talk for, though it seems extra like a favor to make everybody else sense ashamed of what they are; appears to be like an attempt to promote the idea that whites are more suitable than everybody else.

Answer 4

White pride is frequently(also stereotypically) associated with White supremacy and Neo-Nazism and is therefore ridiculously and widely perceived as frightening, provocative, immoral. I would undeniably state pride in my European heritage, despite whatever society dictates as acceptable or not. Don't feel suppressed to express or proclaim your racial/ethnic patriotism. Embrace it! Just do it appropriately.

White Pride!

Answer 5

Ah, mainly just because all that comes to mind when people hear that is the KKK. You can be proud of your heritage and everything, but white pride has some stigma attached to it.

Answer 6

you can and did, who said you can't and why are you listening. If you are saying it out of pride and not to damage or hurt anyone else, yell it off of a roof, jump up and down, pound your chest. I encourage it...

Answer 8

You can say it, and in fact I suggest that you do say it, loudly, while standing on a street corner in East Oakland (CA) on a Friday night.
