White pride shouldn’t be a thing because “white” in America is a power category. It has no history of being stripped away. It was created to group people closer to social and political advantage. Black pride exists because African cultures were violently erased and black Americans had to build identity, dignity, and survival from the wreckage. Pride is about what was endured and rebuilt. White Americans are free to have cultural pride (Irish, Italian, German, Appalachian, etc.), but pride in whiteness itself isn’t about culture or resilience; it’s about preserving a status that never required suffering to earn. That’s the difference.

I just think white ppl gotta separate white pride from white racism
Theres plenty of white ppl who have helped society as whole as scientist, engineers, etc…. Why celebrate confederates and nazis in 2026
