Here is a question someone asked recently...
mpho the decoder...
"If you could be any race what would it be black, white, asian etc... ?"
Now here is someones answer....
the_prototype...
"I'd be exactly what I am---black. "Say it loud!!!!!!"
"I'm black and I'm proud!---James Brown"
If a white person is boastful like that in his/her answer, they would be called a racist. Double standard?

Yes, Of course that question in it self was a loaded question.
If your proud of your race (and you should be) it really should not matter what that race is.
Oh, and by the way ... What about the United ***** College Fund?

I don't think a white person would be considered racist. I think a person that takes a statement like that and makes it into a question like this has more racist tendencies than a white person whose proud of their race.

no. Blacks and most other minorities have been historically cast as less than whites in America.(actually it continues) It was broadly accepted throughout the country. The need to affirm their race and be proud of it is necessary to ensure there is no one who does not know it. We should not be offended because it is not against whites only for blacks. And yes, I would consider anyone who answered that they are white and proud of it to be racist. I am white!

OMG SO TRUE! SO FREAKING TRUE! Other races can say how they feel and be proud of their race but if the white man yelled "I'm White and I'm proud" they would be called a raciest!!!!!!!!

It doesnt matter what you say about race nowadays---somebody, somewhere, somehow, sometime---is going to say that you are a racist. So who cares? Say what you want

you're right actually, there is a double standard there.
its the boastful stance i guess.
i like being black tho, maybe because its all i know. Maybe if i were white, i'd prefer to be white too, i dunno
