You'd probably do it anyway seeing that you prefer to believe in a "white pride is bad, other pride is not bad"-double standard.

So long as you don't provide evidence to further your cause, you're not in a position to complain.

When we're talking about a hate group like White Pride, you will need to provide more than a hypothesis to back that up.

I don't recall anyone stating that the NBPP wasn't racist. "Black Pride" in and of itself is not racist, but there have been racists who have used it. However, I have never seen an example of a "White Pride" group that was not racist. I'm perfectly willing to look at any evidence to the contrary, though.

Really, you have to do better than strawmen.

There being just violent or racist people or groups promoting white pride is irrelevant. That still doesn't mean white pride is inherently racist or violent.

I don't even bother voting on shit like this, so there's that too.

I think this depends on where you live because I think that every person should integrate to whatever country he or she lives in. If you live in a majority Caucasian country, scream "White Pride Worldwide" as much as you like. If an immigrant is offended, inform him that you are merely being proud of your race because you live in a country of white people and not establishing he is inferior rather than have that person appeal to "political correctness". But is you are in a country with a non-white majority, keep your mouth shut about it because that's their land not yours and by coming to their land, you have to respect their country and culture just as much as they have to respect yours when rhey come to your country. But when racial pride is used by anyone to denigrate someone or to make others look inferior, whether white, black, Asian, Latino, etc. , I do not support that kind of thing. It would be better if pride was based on the country you live in rather than by race, as sometimes, a country has been seen by other countries of the same race to be race traitors or subhumans (ex. China and Korea think of Japanese people as "devils" and Nazi Germany believed Slavs are "subhumans") and racial pride might lead to treason if people separated by borders sympathize with each other (ex. Arab immigrants sympathize with ISIS). Racial pride is fine, as long as you are not plotting treason against the country you live in. You chose to live there, and it let you so in exchange you must support your country unless the country is deliberately oppressing you and your race. If you live in a country that treats you rather nicely, I see no reason why you should support people racially closer to you that live in another country rather than the place you call home.
Not everything I post IC, whether in RPs or factbooks is to be taken seriously.

How about you prove that all of white pride is racist or just admit that all you've been doing is spouting generalizations and double standards?

Can you show me a white pride group that is neither?

I mean, while the NBPP is virulently racist, the older one was not, and was against power structures that favored white people rather than white people themselves (though there were likely individuals within the organization who disliked white people, that was never a focus of the group as a whole). However, since White Pride is not inherently racist, it should be no problem for you to show me even one group that doesn't preach segregation and/or supremacy.

But he already has substantiated his claim, pointing out the lack of non-racist white pride groups. Show the existence of non-racist white pride groups and he'll reconsider.

If someone is proud of their skin colour, then more power to them. Better than being insecure about it.

So what you're saying is you accept my evidence because of my previous success in substantiating claims when asked...

Well then should non-whites exercise pride in their races if whites can't? Not to imply I support white pride (or any thereof) but I don't really see anything positive over such things.

You're asking me to list every racist white pride group.

I'm asking you to list ONE that isn't.

Which request is more reasonable?

Haven't read the thread, eh?

In America, non-white racial pride groups have almost always been a reaction to white dominance and the marginalization of the group that is now showing pride. However, white pride groups have, to my knowledge, always been about continuing white dominance at the expense of these groups.

Then I must be a terrible reader, because Laerod has yet to explain why black pride is inherently better than white pride, despite all the crimes and violence committed in the name of both black and white pride.
