Racial Pride

Racial Pride: What does newpol think?

I see plenty of people proclaiming they are proud to be asian, or proud to be black, and a few claiming they are proud to be white.

Here's some examples from youtube:

Is there any reason to be proud of your race? What is it?

Is that racist?

Is it racist to have pride in being 'azn'?

Is it racist to have pride in being white?

Is it racist to have pride in being black?

Why does society vigorously attack those who proclaim pride in being white, while supporting those who proclaim pride in being black?

If it is 'ok' or 'acceptable' to have pride in being black, why is it not 'ok' or 'acceptable' to have pride in being white? Is this logical and or consistent?

Here's a somewhat interesting youtube video I saw the other day on this topic by some guy named TheAmazingAtheist:

I'd like to hear anything relevant to this line of thought.  Post away.

yes, but race in the sense that we define it today is a myth. for example, there is now a theory that the vast majority of English people are not descendents of the anglo-saxxon invaders, which would, amongst other things, completely change the identities of both most 'English' people and those in America who claim to be of 'Anglo-Saxxon' origin.

Almost none of the 'races' people talk about actually exist in any pure notion, ESPECIALLY as regards European 'races'. It's just total hogwash.

the ancient Egyptians were not Arabs. they may have a strong Arab influence today after the Arab invasions which gave rise to the 'Muslim Empire', but that was thousands of years after the ancient Egypt we associate with things such as the 'eye of horus'. as in greece, Italy and Germany, the people of Egypt in that time would look very different to those who live in Egypt today- in Egypts case, the Arab influence being enormous now.
