Anonymous: “Yo, is it racist that I’m white and proud of being white but afraid to say I’m proud to be white because other people will call me racist for being proud of being white?”

Ok, what about looking at it this way. When people say Black Pride (it could be any other kind of minority pride, though), what they’re actually saying is they’re proud of struggling, surviving and prospering in a society where life is systematically stacked against them, ie, something that they’ve accomplished. When people say White Pride (besides that literally being something only unrepentant racists really say), they’re talking about being proud of something that they were born into, or given, which, when you think about it, isn’t really that much of an accomplishment.

i want to marry this response.
