Wich is pretty retarded, but what else can we expect living in times where nearly everything is considered racist.
Man people are so tough on the internet.
A lot more would happen to you then just being called a racist lmao.

Not racist, just dumb. White, or any other race, really isnt anything to be proud of. Proud to be European, American, or anything like that, that's fine. Be proud of something with history. You hear things like "black pride," in America, because most of those whose families aren't immigrants to America don't know of their history going back any farther than slave times, and that's if they're lucky. So black pride evolved from that, because that is our history more often than not.
White pride on the other hand has no such necessity. Find pride in your irish heritage, or whatever other nationality you might be. Pride should not be based on color, which itself provides nothing aside from rights and privileges not given to minorities.

Are white peoples achievements racist? After all our race is perhaps our most defining factor so whats wrong with being proud of it.

That's silly.
ABSURD. "achievement" as if all white people are in the same category, and are all achievers. That's so stupid...to be "proud" of being white because of some stereotype that all white people are achievers.Be proud of achieving what you achieved, as an individual, not because you're white...it's just a stereotype. Taking credit for what OTHER white people do, just because you happen to be white, as well. As if all white people act in accordance to one another, and what one does affects other.Stick up for yourself...
Edit: The very statement..."are white people achievement racists"...what a STEREOTYPE.What an insult! I wouldn't even compare all white people, either.
and, lmao, they populate MOST of america...that's their advantage, period.

Being proud of your race is weird
Being black I understand it as a defense mechanism for being socially put down and you kind of have to rep being black because there's no other culture you can associate with

"repping" seems more like a front.There's no need for validation, leave it all at the door.
There's nothing wrong with being black.There's no need for a defense mechanism, unless you live to appease to others, then it's a problem.This is why low expectations(or even none), self-approval(not validation)...are pretty necessary.
Because, who's standards are you trying to meet up to anyways?Someone else's?Lmao, who's here to live up to anyone elses standard but their own?And according to WHO, is someone of african descent not good enough?Who are they to dictate?WHO is trying to catch up with you and impress you?NOT ME.They're not any better...so keep up with the stigmas...makes no difference.
When i see these laughable comparisons and statistics...I literally chuckle...WHO is trying live up to your standards?Just laughable...this world does not belong to you,does not revolve around, you don't set the standards for me, nor do I look up to you saying "Wow, what an example, I wanna try to be that way"...i think it's just all absurd.Just stop.(speaking in general)
You pave your own way in this world, you carve your own way...
Says the ever disloyal Uncle Ruckus Jr.
Such a kiss up.It's almost like you wanna be white.
While it CAN be true about the inferiority complex(in a world of comparisons and stigmas when it comes to blacks). Doesn't change that white pride is simply idiotic...offensive or not.

It's not necessarily racist, though it's ignorant.
It's important to understand why being "black" is a thing. For a few hundred years being a certain color meant you were property. It mean people could beat you with impunity, you had no rights. It didn't matter what tribe our country you were from, all that mattered was that those in power declared you black. Then slavery was abolished, and still this group was singled out by those in power. Their rights were still restricted, laws were created on the basis of skin color, and it still didn't matter where you were from. Things have certainly gotten better, but racism is still a constant threat.
So when you look at why black pride is a thing, you need to account for the history behind what it means to be black. It wasn't a group that was formed out of desire, it was a grouping that was forced on a diverse group of people, which was then used to enslave and oppress them for centuries. The black pride movement was one born out of self defense, it was a necessity for survival. A group of people was treated like a monolith by the institutions of power, so they became a monolith to overcome those institutions.
So, given that context, it makes sense for black pride to be a thing. Try to examine white pride through the same historical context. It's a very different picture. There was no oppressive force to overcome. There was no forced grouping. White, in at least an American context, is a meaningless concept. White has never existed as a monolithic group, because white never had to band together to defend itself from those who sought to use whiteness as a tool of oppression. In fact, whites have fought amongst each other for centuries. My ancestry is Italian and Irish. When the Irish began to immigrate to the US, they were treated like garbage. The "native" whites ran newspaper headlines calling them sub-human. Yet now I'm supposed to believe "white" is some coherent group in which to be proud of? Why? That's silly. Are the Irish part of this group? What about the Germans? How about the Polish? What about Russians? What do I and someone in Moscow have in common that we should be proud of? Absolutely nothing.
So then where did white pride come from? Quite simply it came from white nationalists who desire a white ethno-state because they believe white to be superior. Its roots are plainly racist, and has zero meaning beyond that when even the slightest level of critical thinking is applied.

It's not racist but sad and that goes to all who have pride in something they have no control over. Pride comes from self-accomplishments. Why would you be proud of your skin color? It means you're a sad loser, who hasn't achieved anything in your pathetic life, and to make yourself feel better, you take pride in what others have achieved, who share only one thing in common with you: skin color.

Nope, but letting your race define who youvare while taking credit of your ethnic group's achievements that you had no part of is the most retarded thing I have ever heard.
White, black, Latino or rainbow colored, you are still a piece of sh*t at the end of the day
