As best I can tell, remaining a majority for as long as possible.:yeshrug:

White's are nowhere near being "oppressed" at least nowhere near the extent other groups have been in this country, but that demographic shift is happening. They feel it and will start to vote like more minority groups have voted as they become minorities themselves. I think it's too late for them.

No one said they were being opressed.

Elaborate on the bold, please. How are expressions of Black, Brown, and say Yellow pride used?

:dwillhuh: you don't see the difference between white pride and black/brown pride? Really? It's all about context. White pride is just like male pride or able body pride, etc.

I know I don't get offended by female pride....mainly because I'ma man I'm aware of the privileges that I'm given over women.

saying black pride is similar to irish saying irish pride- it's to celebrate and uplift, not denigrate other people. it's a way to say you're not ashamed or embarrassed even though you've been told you should be. someone saying black pride is not saying they hate whites or anyone else. they're retaliating against the norms of the culture that tell them their skin i s source of shame. brown pride is similar because indigenous latinos have literally been socially conditioned to mate with europeans to "better" their race. european is better than everyone else and if you're mixed with Italian or spaniard you are better than a brown indigenous person. that belief is inherent in their culture, from the celebrities on their tv to the color of the governing officials; it's unapologetic colorism. saying brown/black pride doesn't mean you think everyone else is below you, it just means you're rejecting the long socially held norm that being brown or black is bad, evil, pagan, UGLY, unintelligent,inferior etc. asian pride is usually said among disenfranchised asian groups like the vietnamese. you don't really hear japanese americans standing by that slogan unless they've been discriminated against in some way. i don't really compare asian pride to brown and black pride; their histories are so different. whites imperialized the south asian countries, but not as widespread as they did africa and the americas. maybe an asian coli member could express their opinions and experiences.

white pride has rarely been used to uplift without simultaneously telling someone else that they are less than, or that others need to leave their homes or submit. another huge difference is whites have historically had the social, militaristic and economic power to enforce submission.

When we say black pride or brown pride we are saying we are good TOO, not we are better than you. It's up to whites to change their reputation and relation with the white pride phrase if they want to say it without being accused of racism.

While every race does have members who are concerned about the struggles of another, the mass majority of each race looks out for their own best interest.

At the end of the day we're all in a race for power. Everyone wants it, and whoever has the throne wants to keep it.

No matter what race has that power, they'd act the same honestly. You're fooling yourself to think that that's not the case.

That's why complaining about another group playing fair is a waste of breath because it ultimately leads to events like this. You're asking people to give up their advantage and livelihood for a bunch of strangers that don't have their best interest at heart either.

We as human beings have an innate desire to dominate others.

no way man. blacks would be benevolent rulers :mjgrin:

White people vote and act in self interest

Black people go to church

White people go to church too. Look at the 'Christian Right' that practically runs the Republican party. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Its gonna be a long time before they are a minority. I think we are confusing being a pluraity with being a minority. Us and Asians are never gonna catch them, maybe hispanics? :jbhmm:

So what I'm getting is these pride movements are for out of power groups to feel better about themselves. When groups in power start pride movements at best it's redundant and at worst it's supremacy. :ehh:I feel it. Whites have contributed a lot to the world, but there really is no need to make a movement celebrating them/their contributions since it's done by default in the media, text books, etc.

I have heard conversations of Black pride turn into Black supremacy on this very site, but I assume that's gonna happen from time to time.:yeshrug:

The ironic thing is that they haven't been voting their best interest. Majority of white people in America are poor white trash.
Unless voting their interest means making sure the ******s are back in their place, and immigrants are out the country.

Trump is the first candidate that is in the poor White's best interest though. Economically, he only talked about trade, jobs, and illegals.

:smugbiden:
White's are losing America to demographics. And clearly, they're not going to do it without a fight. I still think it's a losing battle.

No reason to be smug about Hispanics or Spain speaking people taking over
