Oh no, it's not a double standard at all but there is a stigma to it. If you recall, who are the ones screaming "white power"? The KKK & racist skinheads right? Their idea is that every race should not exist which is what is confusing to people who are white and proud and NOT racist. I firmly believe you can be white and be proud of who you are. The racist white people are the ones that give white pride a bad name. The same can be said for any race of people who think they are superior to another race. There's nothing wrong with being proud of what you are and where you came from. It's when you feel that you need to kill off or discriminate against other races to do so is where people run into problems.
It's a total stereotype, I know. If you're white & proud of that, you're automatically a racists. I don't think that true. As long as you're respectful of other people on this planet, I think it's ok to be proud of your race. Judging from a few lame answers so far, I can see that alot of people use this as an excuse to be hateful and bi*tch. Get over it. If you like what you are, say it. Stop crying about organizations set up to protect the rights of others and don't be a hateful goon and you should be fine.

When whites label themselves with white pride they wanna get a rope and beat-up minorities and gays. That mentality keeps progressing with a little alcohol. That's why its not politically correct for "whites only" or "white pride" to have a congregation. The KKK are the only extremist group who currently does that. BTW I'm half white.

Didn't you know that whites weren't slaves? That give us no reason to be proud of being white, or having any pride days. White are the reasons why blacks are so miserable, and blah blah blah. Yeah it's a huge double standard, but you will always have blacks that will cry to the NAACP and get us shut down

white people have been on top of society for years, while most of the minorities have been treated like second class citizens. We have always been made to feel inferior to white people. We should be proud of ourselves and where we come from. I don't have a problem with white people being proud of themselves, but when it is racist, derogatory,and hurtful to others, I do.

Because minorities don't have the power to be racist in America.
I agree with you though.
