Black Pride, White Pride, Gay Pride...

Thank you!

Dont understand why you're asking Blacks to "Balkanize", but if you're going to tell them what to do at least get your analogies right.

The African analog to "Irish pride", or "Latvian pride", would not be "South African pride".

It would be "Xhosa pride", or "Ashanti pride", or "Hausa pride" because those are actual ethnic groups in Africa.

Also: the American slave trade did not draw upon either the Arab north of Africa, nor the extreme southern cape of Africa. So very few American Blacks have ancestry from either Morocco or from what is now South Africa either. The American slave trade drew mostly upon sub saharan west africa, the Congo, Angola, and Mozambique.

I didn't.

Off of the top of my head ....

1. It's not about patriotism. People generally want to "live among their own kind". That is why we have "white flight" and "black flight". This is how cities become 90%+ of one race.

2. People not knowing English is such a huge problem that American companies cater to Spanish speakers when you call them. ("Press '1' for English).

3. When white people turn on their tv or watch movies, they want to see people like them. That is why tv shows and movies mostly have white people.

4. They expect "white history" in the classroom, not lecture that the American Indian people were actually good and somehow white people are evil because they killed them.

" Teachers of a controversial Mexican-American studies program outlawed by the Arizona legislature are pressing to spread similar programs across the country."

Hey, I thought we were all Americans here? Why are Americans wanting the history of Mexico taught in school curriculum.

5. Lastly, and too my original point, I think people laugh because it seems on the surface to be pathetic to let others overrun your country. It would never happen in other countries, so to them it seems odd.

However, all this being said, whites are not actually becoming a minority. They are only becoming a minority if you don't count the white people of Hispanic origin as white. The political people group white Hispanics (people from Spain included) as non-white.

Exactly!

You failed to make ANY deciferable point.

In response-

1) That's tribalism. White flight is hardly a good thing. We Americans need to learn to walk the talk, and stop being afraid of the perceived "other."
2) As a matter of fact, I would prefer that all Americans speak English. But that being said, modern Latino Americans and immigrants are hardly the first group not to speak English as their first language. In the age of immigration during the 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a cacophony of different languages spoken in America, sometimes by people who lived their whole lives without mastering English. But guess what - - their descendants all became English speakers. This hysteria that Spanish is going to be the end of our country is nothing but natavist nonsense.
3) I have three words in answer to that: The Cosby Show. Long before Bill Cosby self-destructed with his rape scandals, his show had been the number one hit with all Americans, regardless of color.
4) History shouldn't be about making one side feel good, as opposed to the other; rather it should be only about the facts. And as far as the controversy in Arizona is concerned - - if it was just a matter of teaching the history of Mexico, as opposed to that of the USA, I'd agree. But it's a known fact that the people bitching about classes about Latino Americans are known natavists and racists, and are hardly to be trusted.
5) Again, we are unlike any other country, in that our national identity is not based on a tribe or religion, but on a set of ideals. And those ideals must include everyone. It's again a matter of Americans willing to walk the talk about America being about tolerance, equality, and pluralism.

People who say pride is ok for this or that group but not for Whites are just anti-White. All their talk about 'oppressed groups' is just window-dressing.

Of course, there is a difference between those who know they're talking BS and those dupes who are just repeating what they've heard on the TV or in their sociology classes. It's not always easy to tell who is who.

On the other hand, anti-Whitism is a reactionary movement attractive to anti-White whiteskins like you who imagine that sh*tting on other Whites is going to win them brownie points.

Seriously, almost every post you make on this forum is just some variant on "look at me everybody, I may be white, but I really care about oppressed groups, so I'm not like those bad whites over there!"

I suppose this goes hand in hand with being a Christian doesn't it? Christians like to imagine that they're so superior to those 'heathens over there' because they believe in some BS narrative and care so, so much about all the oppressed people in the world.

It is the very definition of discrimination and racism.

People say white pride is not ok usually because they associate that phrase with groups like the KKK and the aryan nation who claim white pride in the guise of hatred toward other groups.

Yes, they do. But, the same could be (and often is) said about other pride movements.

Well, let's see... I wrote a post for the "What movies have you seen recently" thread, in which I wrote about the movie Maggie, which I had just seen on DVD. I'm pretty certain I didn't write anything about race.
But seriously, there's nothing to ashamed of being anti-racist. There's nothing to be ashamed of speaking out against bigotry, especially when it's coming from members of my own ethnic group.
And for the record, there's a huge difference between feeling pride in your ethnic roots, which is largely German in my case, and the white pride movement, which was formed as a reaction against the extension of civil rights to non-Caucasians.

What? I am a Christian and I don't feel superior to anyone, infact I often feel inferior to most people (not depending on my Christianity). These people you are talking about are called bullies, and are present in every group be it Christians, Atheists, Muslims or whatever and they will pick on you because you are a Christian, an Atheist, a Muslim or whatever. It's very frustrating to be picked on all the time for no reason...

It sounds like you're kafkatrapping, and stereotyping in a rather bad way. Reminds me of the SJWs on Tumblr. No white christian male can do anything right in their eyes. If they try to be anti-racist, they're trying to say, as you put it, "look at me." But if they stay quiet, they're racist. *shrug*

The Nation of Islam could be honestly described as a hate group. Certainly at some points in their history. Why else would they kick out Malcolm X for saying that white people aren't the devil?

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People could not honestly be described as a hate group.

IMHO the SPLC actually does have a pretty good handle on the issue.
