These are totally different things.
Personally, I feel that you should be proud of who you are.
As a black woman in the South, to successfully overcome all obstacles that are already put before you at birth, without milking the system is definately something to be proud about.
As a black person, I still face discrimination.
It makes me stronger for whatever life throws my way, to break down barriers that stand in the way of my success.
I walk in pride.
At the same time, I don't disrespect other races.
In fact, the only way I would disrespect someone is if they disrespect me.
I don't care what color you are, RESPECT ME AND I SHALL RESPECT YOU.

Your question could also be titled " What does White Pride have to do with attacking black People?"
And here in the United States we don't have to look back very far in history to answer this question.
Black people are attacked on some level everyday they go out the door to engage the world. All of this attacking is usually conducted by well meaning white people who are living under the umbrella of white privledge, and white pride but are not aware of it.
To answer your question No. A groups pride does not rely on them attacking another race, but history has shown that this is precisly what happens when a race makes a big deal regarding its self pride. History books are stuff to the brim with stories after stories of what some "proud" race did to another race.
Your question is well meaning but it is an innocent/naive question.

You are a very strong person. I think everybody is discriminated against yes even whites, im not trying to sound like im the best or pity me or anything but just look at the questions some people ask like why are whites arrogant, and why do they thnk they are better then me. I personally hate racism, I have friends from all over the world and I dont care what color they are.

I respect those that deserve it regardless of color I give respect based on Dr Martlin Luther King Jrs doctrine of judging on the content of character rather than color of skin, the only problem is when I do that most blacks call me racist because I don't like them. I don't like them because of charcter flaws not because they are black..
Screw Jax up there, there is no white privelege anymore, I have worked hard all my life to educate myself and get where I am today.

Why do people have to have respect in their epidermal layer? Isn't the quality of someones character more important then their skin color. What about someone who has black parents but turns out being albino. Should this person have no pride in who they are because their skin isn't exactly like his/hers parents.

Absolutely nothing, white people don't understand Asian pride either. Some white people don't know the difference between being arrogant and having pride.

We definitely need more people like you in this crazy world.
I'm white and I respect everybody of color and religion. We're all sisters regardless of our skin color.

Absolutely NOTHING. True pride involves respect for ALL of your fellow human beings.

It has nothing to do with hateing white people or any race for that matter under any circumstances.

I hope you have many children now....or someday.
We need more Americans like you that think "respect" instead of "color."
Hats off to you.
