Yes, there is a double standard with "black pride" and "white pride". Probably because, unlike Anglo-Saxons, for centuries Blacks in America were considered subhuman exclusively owing to their race. (preceding unsigned comment by64.171.5.116 (talk • contribs) )

If you are going to make a statement like that you should at least have the courage to sign it. On another topic, I think more discussion about why black pride is considered positive and white pride is considered negative is in order. Moonchakka 01:02, 9 August 2006 (UTC)Moonchakka.[reply]

Don't worry, I deleted the racist crap. Zazaban 01:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know you had good interntions, but please don't edit other people's comments or delete them. futurebird 12:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are three terms: Black Pride, Black Power, Black is Beautiful

Black is beautiful is about healing the injuries of 2000 years of racism in America. It is not a "pride movement" The "see also" on this page lists other pride movements. Black power refers explicitly to a movement tied to the black panthers.

This article needs to be split because Black pride and Black is Beautiful occurred at different times and had different goals (involving different people) Black is Beautiful is a huge topic and will need a lot of space anyway. Trust me. futurebird 12:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What's the difference between saying white pride and black pride, it's been set in our heads to favour blacks. Think about it, say Black Pride and you probably think of the glorious MLK and say white pride and you probably think of hooded KKK members, what a load of crap. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.2.139.217 (talk) 12:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

You have to think about it in terms of power. White people have historically held power and used it to terrorize black people. We're just starting to wake up from that nightmare today. That's why "white pride" has negative racist connotations-- also, it is a euphemisms for "white supremacy."

You have to understand it took a lot of GUTS to say that one was proud to be black, people were taught to be ashamed of their culture-- to some extent this is still going on. Hope that clears things up! futurebird 12:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you when you say that blacks were taught to be ashamed of their culture, but whites are taught to be ashamed of their culture nowadays. I wish you would recognize this. It's not fair to have whites feeling bad about being white all the time, and it probably won't help anyone in the long run.--72.38.225.72 01:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, why is white pride so accusatory and black pride "nice"?

Feeling bad about being White? I don't think so, I'm proud of it, the Black pride and White pride pages should be virtually identical, if White pride= White supremacy then Black pride= Black supremacy.
