with black pride, "pride" is understood to mean the opposite of "shame."

white people have never been marginalized, so there's no historical context there other than white supremacy


That doesn't have to be true. I think it's dumb to have pride about skin color, but a white person doing it doesn't have to mean that they are a white supremacist. It's lunacy to default to that.

these concepts don't exist in a vacuum. there is history. it's not defaulting to that


Even where these concept are prevalent and history exists, that doesn't have to dictate why a person feels the way they do. As I stated. I think it's dumb, but a person who feels pride for being whatever color they are doesn't have to mean they are a supremacist.

at this point in time, it is not possible to divorce "white pride" from white supremacy


Not possible for you, maybe. Not for everyone.

anyone who thinks they can separate them is either ignorant or racist. or, more likely, both.

maybe at some point in the future, the terms could become distinct from each other. that's certainly not the case now, and it won't be any time soon.


lol. I'm neither of those, and I can separate them. My first thought when I see someone say I'm proud to be (insert color) is "That's kinda dumb.". It's definitely NOT "That person must be a supremacist.".

Again. Not possible for you to separate them. You don't speak for everyone, and you don't get to decide why or why not a person doesn't feel the same as you.
