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.

>>61

I am >>58, but not >>60. So I'll simply say this:

1. You said "Egypt was Arabs" and you are wrong. Period.

2. You said it was "10 or 20" mixed raced Nubians and you are wrong. Nubians are an integral part of the pre-culture of Egypt as is much of southern Africa. This has been proven multiple times over and everytime something new comes out you're proven wrong.

Screaming "Afrocentrism" doesn't work when the information has been peer reviewed for use in Encyclopedias and Colleges around the world. Further more, regardless of what phenotypes you're referring to--- if you were to take an anicent Egyptian from then and place him in America-- you would call him black. Stop playing the semantics game. Arabs and all other races come from Africa. The "out of Africa" theory is widely accepted because there are no other logical competing theories out there.

3. You are wrong when you say "Mixed race" because it implies that there are "Pure races", in the first place. Maybe you don't understand what >>60 is saying? Simplified: Biology implies biological difference due to effects from environment and culture not absolute and fundamental "racial differences". Race is an "after the fact" definition for those biological differences not the defining mechanism for those differences.

Finally: Reality is entirely subjective. You *Want* to believe certain things that you have NO empirical evidence for and you want to believe the limited range of facts imply truth when you've been hard pressed to identify the mechanism. <==== This is how we all know you're stupid and don't understand Scientific Method.
