Who is saying that anyone can't display pride in whatever they want?
If you want to display pride in something and not be questioned on it, sorry. . . that's not the way the world works. Especially when you're using a term that is loaded like "white pride". And if you act shocked that anyone would question "white pride", a term that has been used by white supremacists for decades, then you're ignorant at best and a dishonest racist at worst.
I think you have white pride confused with white power

My appologies of my incorrect spelling and random capiltolization. I make no excuses for my lack of propper writing abilities.
It is just upsetting that there is a cultural double standard in which only certain ethnic groups are permitted to openly express pride in their heritage, and that white pride is not inherently racist, being roughly analogous to positions such as black pride or gay pride.

Nope, "white pride" is used interchangeably with "white power" and has been for decades.
white power is the belief, and promotion of the belief, that those of Caucasian backgrounds are superior to people of other racial backgrounds
White pride is a slogan indicating pride in being white.
The more you pretend to not know the history of the phrase (especially right after the link posted), the more I'm positive you know exactly you're doing.

It's not a double standard if "certain ethnic groups" have a legit reason to be proud. White folks don't have a legit reason to be proud of being white- I defy you to find ONE.

So let's use your own definition of "white pride", and forget what the rest of the internet- and society at large- says. You said, and I quote:
White pride is a slogan indicating pride in being white.
Okay. You're proud of the color of your skin. Why? You still haven't satisfactorily explained that one. Let me put it another way- something like "Black Pride" means (and people of color, feel free to correct me here) "I'm proud of the progress people who look like me have made, be it under the thumb of those who have subjugated us, or on our own in trying to find our own identity as a culture." So what does "white pride" mean?
If you're going to suggest it means the same thing as "black pride", only with the colors swapped out, two things will become immediately obvious to the rest of us:
1. You're trolling, and
2. You don't know how to click spoilers.
You are absolutely correct PointBlank, I have stated my point you all dissagree, I see no further reason to continue this conversation. I have white pride, and I believe that there is noting wrong with that. You all feel that pride in race and heritage is wrong. So i wish you all the best of luck and the best of lives. Enjoy.
Believe what you want. But if you honestly don't see why people would be at best mistrustful of someone who proclaims white pride, well, I can only wonder what the weather's like on your planet.

We own more and make more than everyone else does. </sarcasm>
All kidding aside D_Dawson, think of it this way: when have white people been oppressed or persecuted because of the color of their skin? When was the last time you saw people of color driving around with stickers on their cars that said "Whitey Hunting Permit"?

are you proud of your total inability to spell and use proper grammar in your native language? are all proud white people this illiterate?
