Ethnic Pride

Illustrative:

 

Obama was pushing that message a few days ago. Fantastic presidential message.

 

Okay, Clay Travis.

 

It's all divisive.

 

Yes. All of it.

 

Racist.

No Melungeon Pride listed.

 

What exactly would melungeons be proud of

 

According to the OP, not being white. Those guys are racist *****.

 

The reasoning for the existence of those pride groups are very different than the reasons for the white pride group. I mean, c'mon, people need an explanation as to why a gay pride group might be necessary?

 

But surely you understand as more and more of "white culture" gets pushed back and attacked (real or not) there is going to be a rebound like this?

I think all of it has passed its time and should be shelved. Take pride in being yourself and a human being among human beings. Race is passe, or should be.

 

I've never heard of Asian pride and didn't think they really counted as a minority

 

White people have pride all the time without any issue, Irish pride, German pride, etc. "White pride" was specifically designed to be a white supremacist ethos co-opting black and others actual self-realization in order to de-legitimize those groups and promote themselves above others. Black pride and gay pride shouldn't be that problematic.

 

But I am not Irish or Scottish or German or English or...or... or... My family has been in the USA for 150+ years as far back as I can trace.

 

This.

 

They don't care. Pass the Soy.

 

This too.

 

Technically it's not even a real thing, which makes all the strife even more absurd.

 

People just want to be a part of something and have a sense of belonging. As long as it's nonviolent, I don't care.

 

I agree. And if a Chinese guy wants to wear a kilt, throw a caper around and play bag pipes, I am ok with it.

 

I just think being proud of being white doesn't really make sense. It's too broad. It makes perfect sense to be proud of where/who you came from.
