US Election 2020

And neither is white pride.
For example, someone put up a sign saying "its ok to be white". Which is a categorical statement of normality. It doesn't state that being white is superior to anything.
What happened:

You can't say it's ok to be white because we have been told that this phrase has been co-opted by white supremacists.

Black/gay pride is not about believing that your race/identity is superior to any other.

Well that depends on who you ask.

Malcolm X for instance was a proponent of Black Separatism and thought that the white race was inferior to the black.

Yes that’s black power

Yes that’s black power

Which proves that what you said about Black Pride is not true. Some do think that their race is superior.

Black power != black pride

 

[SoldierMan]

Black power != black pride

What? So if black power = black pride, then black pride = black race superiority (in some instances)?

You're just repeating things and not answering my question.

You have a bit of a problem there now:

 

[Emjay]

It's simple.

Whites celebrating whiteness is white supremacy because whites are racist.
Blacks celebrating blackness is diversity because blacks are victims.

You need to go back to your Critical Race Theory classes.

It’s really simple. I’m not in favor of black power, which is based on militant separatism, black superiority, and black pride in that sense. Black pride in the normal sense is not militant and not racial superiority-based.

Ok, but then don't write things like "Black power != black pride", it just confuses everyone.

But again, just like black pride can equal black superiority, white pride doesn't always equal white superiority, like the "It's ok to be white" sign for instance.

 

[cerebus]

It's simple.

Whites celebrating whiteness is white supremacy because whites are racist.

Ok here’s a simple exercise: find a case of a non-white supremacist ‘celebrating whiteness’. I wonder what that would even look like.

So why won't you offer that distinction for the difference between white power and white pride?

Because practically speaking there is no distinction


It's okay to be white[1] or It's OK to be white (IOTBW) is a slogan based on a poster campaign organized on the American imageboard 4chan's board /pol/ in 2017. A /pol/ user described it as a proof of concept that what they called a harmless message would cause a media backlash.[2][3] Posters and stickers containing the sentence "It's okay to be white" were placed in streets in the United States as well as on campuses in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.[1][3] The slogan was spread by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and racist groups including neo-Nazis and white supremacists.[4]

So predictable.

Oh I think we’re all fairly predictable except perhaps Aquila’s whiplash stance against gay pride
