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.

"Mixed Race" is a loaded word without merit due to the very reasons I posted in >>62. Continued use of the term when we discuss race as far as pre-Egyptian phenotypes goes- means that you just "don't get it".

Belief isn't truth. Just because you believe Egyptians were Arab doesn't mean it's true, futhermore the University of Egypt was founded by a Muslim empire. One constant throughout modern history is that the current people in charge of the education system don't usual tip their hats to the people who actually founded their history. History isn't just facts, it's context and centricism.

It's a simple exercise in logic. Egypt didn't come to Africa, it came from Africa. The symbol used in Egyptian culture can be found in hundreds of pre-existing cultures. Arabs taking sole credit for Egypt is like White people taking sole credit for America.
