What is your opinion on racial pride?
How far do you think is going too far with it? Obviously if it results in something such as labeling another race as inferior, that is going too far with it.

Rather than seeing 'pride' in something you probably had no contribution in, i'd prefer to see 'Apology day'.
Where all those big businesses that made huge capital from slavery or denying folk their rights just because you could, actually stepped up and acknowledged the fact and they're now better people for it.

I’d say too far is believing your race is superior to others. People are quick to label white pride as racist, but you can be proud of your heritage regardless of what color your skin is. So long as you’re not decrying other races as inferior, there’s nothing wrong with racial pride.
That being said, I’m proud of my race and my Italian background. White pride! ✊

In the U.S., for most of its existence, most people had been taught that only certain people contributed to the building and establishment of our country. I’m glad that kids are starting to learn that all kinds of people participated, people who looked like them. Women. Different faiths. Stories are being told that weren’t considered significant before.

@bijouxbroussard Yep. I had to research and find out for myself when I was younger, because my teachers in school certainly didn't tell us.

@Lostpoet In that sense, I guess you can be proud of your heritage. I am against pride in concept, especially with race since race is no achievement 🤷🏾♂️
With regards to appreciating one's history, I certainly am for some to respect, study, and appreciate their ancestry and heritage

Racial pride is dumb but necessary. Being proud of your race is basically taking credit for shit other people did, like someone with my skin colour invented something or is good at sports and therefore I also have those skills. lol wut
It's dumb but the reason it's necessary is because other people do look at race and prequalify you based on those stereotypes.
So it's basically a dumb, lazy way to view the world that's necessary because other people are dumb and lazy

@RodneyTrotter It’s hard to explain unless you’ve been made to feel inferior or defective or ugly specifically because of your race (or sexual orientation). In this instance, it is about being just as good or equal, as opposed to “less than”.
