well its because of your history. white people who have used the term white power or white pride were mainly members of the ku klux klan and which im sure you all know about. but i think the reason why people call whites ****** for using that term is because they automatically refer them as a klansman which i think is unfair an ignorant. whether you are a klansman or not you should be proud of who you are and this is coming from a brotha.

It’s NOT ok. It’s called reverse racism. Also known as political correctness. And it stinks.

You can be proud to be white without hating other people. In fact, it can be seen as a matter of respect for yourself and others to take pride in your racial heritiage because it is not only part of your individual identity, but also part of our human heritage. We all can acknowledge the existence of race if we are so inclined. In fact, for some, it may even be foolish not to.
First we have to understand that race is a real thing. Some people are confused about this because of different reasons. One reason is cultural, and that is because there are different nationalities, or ethnic subdivisions within races, (i.e. German, Irish, Russian, Italian etc..) but these ethnic divisions are not to be confused with races which are seperated not just by nation, or culture, but by CONTINENT where they evolved for thousands of years with little or no contact with each other, and developed vastly different and distinctive cultures and appearances which are both meaningful and worthwhile to their respective populations, and still exist to this day, and we can, and should all be proud of that without fear or shame of being labled a supremecist, or ******.
Another reason for confusion is physical, and it is because there are those who may argue for the ability of science to prove that biological differences between the races are marginal enough to discredit the existence of race. However, this does not mean that we can’t observe the physical distinctions between the races with our own eyes, and not a microscope!! Your appearance is part of your identity as an individual, you DO NOT need to be a scientist to figure that out. And there is no questioning that mixing races, while not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, certainly does compromise these physical distinctions, which isn’t the right thing for everyone.
So now that we’ve acknowledged why race exists, we can see why it is a righteous endavor for an individual member of any racial category (including whites) to absolutely have a right to express pride, and even some degree of solidarity in the name of their racial heritage as long as it is expressed in a positive way, and that means not obstructing, through physical force, or bigotry, the rights of other races or individuals with different beliefs to do as they choose.
