Is it racist to say,"White Pride World Wide"?

Question

Can one be proud to be White, energetically proclaim it, and still be PC?

Answer 1

It is racist and against the designs of nature.

Answer 2

The best answer to your question is, simply, why? Why would you want to be proud to be any color?

Your pride should be personal. There's no need to be proud of what you have no control over. You didn't choose to be white, so why boast about it?

If you must boast, or 'energetically proclaim' anything, it would be wisest to do so about one's own accomplishments. Such achievements speak of your character and talent(s) as a human being. Pride is justified if you've managed to excel at something beyond the norm. If hard work and dedication have brought you success, there's reason to be proud.

It has nothing to do with being white. Nothing white people have done in the past has contributed to whatever success you're wanting to brag about.

Pride should be personal, not racial. Look inside yourself to find reason to be proud, not outside.

For what it's worth, I'm a white guy too. Frankly, it doesn't matter. I came from a humble place and made a good life for myself through hard work. If I've got anything to be proud of, it has nothing to do with the color of my skin.

(1) SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC
Another person seemed to suggest that white people are the innovators moving the world forward. The comment seems to imply therefore that other races are not, or do not compare favorably. I may have misunderstood the post, but would like to respond regardless.

I can think of several areas of human endeavor off the top of my head where the majority of innovators are not white. For starters, who invented practically every important form of popular music developed in the U.S.A. over the last several decades? Square watermelons? Traffic lights? Math? Playing cards?

You have to pretty narrowly "focused" to only see white achievement.

However, even where whites have dominated, isn't it conceivable that they have dominated precisely BECAUSE OF THEIR RACISM?

(2) THE QUESTION
On the other hand, to answer the question: it's not really racist, but it's weird.

I don't know where you live, but I live in a Western country, where every single day is pretty much "White Pride Day". What's the need for saying it out loud? Do you feel down-trodden? You don't NEED to tell people that whites have accomplished things, because most people already believe that. If anything, white people already have too much pride to go around.

But if you need it, and you feel that whites have been misunderstood or underestimated, then you'll have a tough time of it--because no, it's not PC. This may not seem entirely fair, but alot of people have a lot of legitimate issues with white people, and that's just something you have to consider when you choose to do things in this world.

Answer 4

It's not racist to be proud of yourself and anyone who thinks it is just because your white has been brainwashed. People who live there lives trying to be politically correct are just a bunch of robots following other people's leads. How boring it must be to have no original thought of your own. Politically correctness makes me sick. When I was a teen I was a rebel and still am an always will be.

Answer 5

Several points:

1) Political Correctness is stupid.

2) No, it's not racist to be proud of your race – though it frequently leads to racism.

3) Almost invariably, anyone who believes in "white pride" is a racist. That's just how it is.

Answer 6

Its not a matter of racism rather a question of prideness both energetically and systematically the whites are having in their countries.

Answer 7

not PC, but don't let that stop you, politically correct things are just stupid. there's no law that says you can't be proud of your people and still love and/or respect other people at the same time.

Answer 8

It is not racist per se.
But the problem with this is that terms like "white pride" and "white power" were hijacked by radical groups who are racist.
Thus you can no longer use them without seeming racist.
Much like people can no longer use rainbow without seeming gay, or swastika without seeming Nazi[1].

Answer 9

No, it isn't racist.

Though I fail to see how anybody can be "proud" of being any colour.

We are what we are.

I reckon that as long as we work hard at never having too much to be ashamed of we're doing well.

Answer 10

"White" isn't a race, it's a skin-color.

Ethnic-pride can be good thing, unless it is used to subjugate others. Build yourself up - fine. Build yourself up on someone else's back - not fine.

Believing that your skin color, religion, ancestry, political-beliefs, fashion-choices or whatever makes you better than someone else is nothing to be proud of. If this belief is centered around your skin-color or ancestry, then I'd say that this is a racist belief.

I can never keep track of what is and is not PC. Just try not to be a jerk, and you'll probably do alright.

Answer 11

mad as hell, considering all we ever is black pride, but the way the world is goin it wont be ong before we can say what we want... the war is coming so start stocking up on tinned goods.

And to cap_kirk, who i ask are the innovators of this world who drives the world forward? oh ye the stupid incompetents...
