First let's not confuse modern black pride and gay pride. It is legal for me to marry a black woman but it is illegal for me to marry a man of any color. There is no evidence that blacks as a group(a group that black pride is intent on emphasizing) exemplify greater support for gay rights. In fact if we are to believe public opinion polls the opposite is true.
Black pride clearly is about pride. Listen to the rhetoric. Terms like "the white man" are pervasive. Black pride is not addressing a set of higher humanist ideals that apply to all people. It is a singling out. A base urge akin to nationalism whereby people choose to embrace the pride of a constructed group.
Take the word ******. There was a time when the re appropriation of the n word was justifiable. Now the only people that openly use the word are black. A word that is arguably the most offensive word anyone can think of is now used by millions to self identify. A word that has not lost the connotations of slavery, segregation, and racism. ****** is offensive no matter who utters it. It is offensive to humankind.
You think I should kowtow and accept racial derision and devision in 2014? You think I should define myself as "the white man" or a "cracker *** bitch"?
When someone is treated unjustly because of the color of their skin(or sexual orientation, ethnicity, sex, etc.) I will stand by them not for some antiquated notion of pride or some hipster idea of solidarity. I will do it of the idea of personal honor and responsibility that all people have to uphold justice and equitability.
Sooner or later the race baiting has got to stop.
