calling someone a nazi and ignoring the point made, that's hyperbole buddy.

You have to have a point, first of all.

And you use the terms degenerate, which is a term Nazis use, so I assumed you were a Nazi.


Not necessarily, I've been called a degenerate by a Communist before but your only insulting him by calling him a nazi because you have ran out of arguments

Well, I think that using the term "degenerate", whatever the political or cultural reasons, ended the argument before Godwin kicked in. It's nothing more than a polysyllabic way to call something icky.

What can I say, it's not so much I'm out of arguments as it is that people who use the word "degenerate" aren't worth debating with in the first place. Especially since other people have refuted his point better than I can.

You're proud of something you did not create or even help build, have essentially no influence on, and had no choice whether to be raised in?


Say if you had a friend or a relative who did something good like raise loads of money for a charity, you'd be proud of them then wouldn't you? But in that case you didn't do anything to help them but you are still proud of them

The same applies for you nation, race, culture etc, I'm proud to be British because even though people like to slander the British empire, I still recognise that it brought democracy, justice, medicine, education, wealth and infrastructure to the world, compare Hong Kong to the rest of china, they enjoy a much better lifestyle due to being under our rule, areas of the world such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, India, South Africa and Zimbabwe (the last two were strong and prosperous until the ANC took charge and turned them into the crime ridden corrupt basket cases they are now where hundreds of Afrikaners are being murdered). I also recognize that my country has fought tyrants such as Napoleon, the central powers, the axis powers, the ussr etc

Yes, it is the same kind of pride.

Yes, it is comparable. Pride is Pride. if you're feeling something different, then it's not pride, it's something different.

You can be proud of being German without being proud of Hitler, and anyone who is proud of being German, unless they're a Neo-Nazi, is exactly that.

National pride still very frequently leads to xenophobia, racism, and varying degrees of violence.

There is nothing to be proud of, really. Your skin colour is an accident of birth. You could have easily been born from parents who weren't white, so why go around telling others you're better than them because of something you have no control over?

as a White Rhodesian born and raised in the united states I see no problem with benevolent white pride in fact as far as I am concerned there is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are it just when you start attacking people of a different race simply because of their skin that such can be taken offense at on the other hand Europeans have given the world all that we hold dear yet the leftist media with all its communist propaganda likes to demonize whites just because one lunatic decided to go nuts on a house of worship which was predominately African American by origin.

in Africa we brought Christianity, Commerce, Civilization to dark continent colonies such as Kenya,Uganda,Rhodesia,South Africa all became centers of peace and prosperity because of the white man's hard work that allowed a whole people to improve life as time progressed during the two great world wars Blacks and White joined hands to defeat the evils of Fascism in defense of the Empire unfortunately we were never reward and therefore our contributions were very much overlooked so in 1965 we threw in the towel and did what our Kith and Kin failed to do and that was to fight Communism and Black Nationalists like Mugabe and his PF scum.


I am proud of who I am for no one except God almighty can take that away from me because I am proud to be a Rhodesian of British American origin.

A "good" thing? My personal opinion? No, I don't consider "good" being proud of something as trivial as skin tone, I only consider logical being proud of one's own deeds and actions.
But sure, feel free to feel proud with whatever feeds your ego, just don't make a fuss about it.

Oh, black pride is not the same as white pride, you're entirely correct.

However, that doesn't excuse all the crimes committed in the name of black pride, nor does the difference between black and white pride make black pride inherently better. Racial pride encourages a slew of horrific things. This is even true in black pride. Numerous Black Panthers, those tied with Malcom X, and whatnot have literally advocated for the death of whites. Furthermore, South African Afrikaner farmers are being murdered left and right in something considered to be a genocide by some international observers. These Afrikaners are killed in the name of racial pride. The same can be said for Zimbabwe, where black pride was the justification for the deportation and oppression of the few whites remaining in Zimbabwe.

White pride, too, as you know, has also caused some horrific and abhorrent things to transpire. But, then again, so has black pride. It really goes to show that racial pride of any kind inevitably leads to an inflated sense of supremacism and envy which can go awry.

Liberty and Linguistics wrote:I take pride in my community. I take pride in my country. I take great pride in my family and friends. However, race is rather different. Having white skin isn't a community, group, or city, or anything of the sort. Rather, it's a skin color shared by over a billion people. Pride in any skin color is futile, and often leads to racial supremacism.

For instance, if a black man were to say "I have black pride", I'd mock his beliefs. If an Asian man said "yellow power", I'd mock him as well. When a white man says "white pride worldwide", I tend to do the same.

There's a difference between being proud of your culture and shared experiences in the face of oppression and racial pride. Racial pride celebrates superiority and separation which is why I don't really see mainstream Black pride as racial pride, but more of a cultural movement that recognises accomplishments by blacks. White pride, I suppose, could do that, but when it's almost universal in culture, it makes no sense and serves to only further the notion of superiority.

Same with gay pride.
