Black pride. The only thing these two share is pride for one's race. However, white pride does not have the same meaning as Black pride. White pride takes pride in their white skin and historical accomplishments which include the colonization of civilizations, nearly exterminating indigenous people and forcing the heathen world to heel with Christianity to fuel their conquest. “Whiteness is an artificial sociological construct which has been used throughout history to exclude certain groups of people from the rights guaranteed others and to justify bigoted attitudes.” ( Rozsa) Black pride celebrates other POC cultures while upholding their pride for their pride they other empower other POC “And, in the context of a history of white supremacy and current racial inequities, claiming power for people of color of all kinds is a statement of an aspiration for equity, not supremacy.” (Nakagawa)

White people still benefit from institutionalized racism and discrimination. They think and act in racist ways that personally benefit them at the expense of communities of color this is sometimes unconsciously but this is why white people must become conscious. Soooo, what can white people do? Just don't be your ancestors. Don't be ignorant, educate yourself and open your eyes to the privilege you have. White Pride only celebrates the privileged skin color. Decolonize your mind.
