But to make this something that refers to a racial component is transparently flirting with outright racism seer. And doing precisely that has a really dark and blistered history. Without invoking Godwin's law I can safely say its strongly associated with White Nationalism in all its toxic forms. For that sin alone, I think its wrong for "white" to invoke something like that.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostAren't there different ways you can take the word "pride"?
When a father says "I'm proud of my boy" I don't think he's committing the sin of Pride. I also don't think its a sin to have pride in being a human for instance. Because "pride" as a word here refers to different things. When its the sin of pride, isn't is more specifically referring vainglory? In holding yourself more than others, because of what you have achieved, or qualities you perceive yourself having that others don't, or in outright resisting the True and Good because you consider own values higher?

Just because some people wrongly take pride in their skin color doesn't make it right for others to do the same. And anyhow, you're missing the point in things like "black pride." While, yes, I'm certain there are black racists who think their blackness is something to be proud of, most black people are uniting and celebrating their shared heritage, which includes the survival of hundreds of years of slavery, civil rights abuses, and racism. We have pride parades every year for white people if that's what you so desperately need. They're called St. Patty's Day, Christopher Columbus Day, and Octoberfest.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Originally posted by seer View PostWould you say the same thing when Blacks take pride in black accomplishments? Or Chinese in Chinese accomplishments?
The latter can clearly have national pride and love of their country, and their history without it being any problem at all. African Americans, are a specific group in the US that has faced over a century of institutionalized injustice against them, with lingering remnants of that history still there to be seen. When they have a Black Pride month, its not to boast of racial superiority (unlike Storm Front or Proud Boys), its to celebrate where they've come and to claim their right to be here and to move forward as equal members of society.

As I said earlier, "they did it too" is not a real justification. Try using it next time you get pulled over for speeding and see how well it works for you."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Although it's not intended as a full defense for black pride/power, I think it should be understood as more similar to people who take pride in their German/Irish/Scandanavian heritage, because most African-Americans simply don't know where in Africa they came from due to the nature of the slave trade."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
