What is this notion of being proud because you are White? What has anyone done to select the color or ethnicity they happened to be born with? Sure, there are some obvious, cultural advantages of being White, but what is there to be proud of, especially considering the dark history of White Supremacy, – WWII and Holocaust come to mind, while more recent massacres all were committed by white supremacists who believe they have the right to decide the fate of others who happen to look different.
When we look at the flag- and torch bearing guys marching and shouting how proud they are of being white, one has to wonder: what on Earth do they themselves have to be proud of? Any positive social contribution whatsoever? Just proud of having been born white? What an accomplishment! Then we have the mass shooters, almost exclusively white, killing as many innocent people as they can, with weapons they should never have been allowed to have. Proud? No, it makes many of us who happened to be borne white ashamed of our color, which we did nothing to end up with, while instead we end up with a collective shame for the group we just happen to be a part of.
