Generally, but not always. Also, what's wrong with being proud of who you are?
[QUOTE=JDK721;22203614]they're idiots, but they have every right to hold a rally.

FP doesn't really have a problem with white supremacists
They're categorized under "yeah I guess that's bad or something but A BLACK GUY CALLED ME A CRACKER ONCE WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT THAT FOR TEN PAGES"

Compare how many anti-racist posts there are compared to pro-racist posts, and you'll see you're wrong.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;22214775]Whites are a majority. "Prides" generally involved a small and/or oppressed group.[/QUOTE]So does that mean a white person can't be proud of who they are, or what? That's ridiculous.

I guess religious nuts have the priority. Did you see the WBC thread? 20 pages of arguing with me because some FPers only believe in the First Amendment if they agree with the people.

There's an implicit idea that they are proud of their heritage or identity in spite of personal or systemic discrimination. Since white people benefit from that discrimination, political activism for 'white rights' invariably involves REVOKING rights from minorities.
Simply being proud of your ancestors or whatever is fine, but pride movements are entirely different and have strong political connotations.

I didn't say FPers are pro-racist. What they are is forcefully apathetic. They refuse to discuss white racism, the same way conservatives don't like to talk about American war crimes, and liberals don't like to talk about welfare fraud. It's called framing the argument--if this was about black supremacists, the majority of posts would be about how black people are so racist and political correctness is bad, etc etc. But since they're white supremacists, the majority of posts are about how they have a 'right to free speech.'
Also, any moron can gauge FP's views on race from the fact that racist posts tend to get about ten times as many agrees as disagrees. Unless they're about white people, obv.
