text: why is it okay for a black man to be proud of his race but if a white man does hes a racist?   this is based on the assumption that only whites can be racists. but you don't have to be white to be racist. if someone thinks you're racist just because you're proud to be white, then they are the ones who are ignorant. it's ok for any person to be proud of their race and culture, as long as you don't fall into the trap of thinking your race is better than any other.   the majority of americans are white. the majority of people you see on television and in the movies here are white. that's the reason why there are institutions in place for minorities (such as bet, naacp). these organizations exist to bring a sense of equality to the racial structure of america. it's sort of the minorities way of saying "hey we're here too." but please try not to take it as reverse racism because it isn't.
