Black/Brown/Gay etc Pride = Good; White Pride = Racism

Oh really. Is that your excuse? Americans didn't create the associations between islam and terrorism, it seems muslim past and present actions did. Is that the reasoning you were using?

You IMMEDIATELY jumped in and thought hate group. You IMMEDIATELY made a glib remark asking what it was he had to be proud of. I say that this shows your own bias. Well its all fair you know, I mean associations being what they are, to not only profile muslims but to see them as backward and violent. Toche Sam sometimes you drown your own arguments.

I didn't immediately do anything. I actually asked Mz what he was being denied pride in. I think you're the one who took offense to that

One should take offense. You asked what there was to be proud of that was exclusively white, I would have been offended had you asked that to someone who was black. It was a off-handed insult.

I wouldn't need to ask anyone who was black. I already know what they are proud of. Overcoming this:

Thats what they take pride in. I have seen it myself at black pride events. African students wept when Obama was elected.

It was a moment of vindication, of regaining their dignity.

Is that all there is to take pride in? You only associate black achievement with THAT? Not with the writers and poets, musicians and scholars

Langston hughes,

James Baldwin and

Miles Davis

Duke Ellington

Zora neale Hurston

and the legendary black cardiac pioneer Vivien Thomas

Would all be rolling in their grave. Black pride is about black achievement in CULTURE. Now I see your prejudice extends deeper than even you realize.

You're a condescending *so and so*

Oh yeah and they had reason to be proud waaay before Obama came along you #$&@!

 

As compared to being elected the most powerful man in the world by a vast number of whites? Not even close. Black students improved in grades immediately after the election.

I wonder what Mz feels is comparable to this in white pride.

 

Oh so blacks had nothing to be proud of before Obama? Well if you're criteria is being a powerful world leader then MZ has a chock full to to be proud of

 

Nice list. Very brillant people

 

I'm sure they did. It was called "acting white"

Especially with a German heritage

Second insult. You seem to think that everything before Obama in african american history is irrelevant.

 

So ALL the people who were bright and accomplished BEFORE Obama were 'acting white'?
:roflmao:

So you ARE a racist. Keep talking. I'm loving it. You dig a deeper hole with every post.

 

I think you skipped a few posts there. It wasn't just African-Americans who wept at Obama's election. It was blacks, from as far away as Kenya and the Dominican Republic.

Me and all the other people who saw it as a landmark in black history.

 

don't the dots have some sort of caste system...

ohhh..The Caste system does not demarcate racial division. Caste system is a social division of people of the same race

Yeah how about that? The Brahmins are killing themselves over discrimination

You're a passive bigot sam and you don't even realize it. Next you'll be saying how nice it is that there is a black president who can set and example by speaking proper English. :bravo:

 

I see the situation of whites as analogous to the Brahmins in post independence India. Frankly, I have as much sympathy for the one as for the other/

Oh please save us your analogies.

There is no analogy between Brahmins and whites unless you mean to infer that all whites are racist and that all of European cultural heritage is racist.

Insult three.

Go on soon you'll be batting a hundred.

And would you mind sticking to the OP. This isn't a place for YOUR regional issues.

 

damn... you hens like to go at it
