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.

look, let me point something out to you:

the Arabs as a culture/race are not recorded until LONG AFTER ANCIENT EGYPT. Egypt has a huge Arab influence TODAY because the muslim empire which arose in the centuries after muhammed INVADED EGYPT and as such it is now an Arab state.

ancient Egypt WAS NOT ARAB- it simply wasn't, because they were a completely different people at that time. You are simply confusing parts of history. of course modern day Egypt has massive genetic links to Arabia; that doesn't mean that it was the same some 5000 years ago. stop making completely arse statements- ancient egypt was not arab. it just wasn't. any physical resemblence between ancient egyptians and modern arabs only implies the precise opposite of what you claim- the arab 'race'/culture is something which evolved out of egypt.

if we were to follow your logic, in a 1000 years time people could go around claiming that then english were really just americans. don't be dense.
