Re: Apparently this is now a controversial opinion

I don't see what's wrong with a black person being proud of their blackness.

Re: Apparently this is now a controversial opinion

Pride in an aspect of oneself is okay.

It's only when it becomes "I'm better than you because..." it becomes bad.

How would you feel about someone who was proud of their whiteness?

If it comes with an implied "I'm glad to be white because it makes me better", it's bad. If it is just "I like being white" with out the assumed superiority, it's good.

Fair enough.

derp "context," what's that?

I think whiteness (in America) is non-specific in a way that makes that weird and usually political in an ugly way. The same is not true of blackness (in America) because there is a distinct black community and black experience. It's hard to see a perspective by which that's meaningfully true for white people taken in their entirety.

If someone is proud of their forebears, of their Italianness or Scotch-Irish or Polish or what have you, and is so in a way that doesn't diminish other people's narratives, then no, I have no problems with that.
