Here's a story about a mother who sent her kid to school with a swastika marked on her arm.
They are calling it the white pride case. While agree that a white person has every right to be proud of being white, I also think that using a symbol of Nazi origin is wrong. The symbol does not represent White Pride, mot moreso hatred of all other races or colors.
Now it's important not to confuse the issue. The terms White Pride, Native Pride, Black Pride etc., are all great things. These trerms should not be confused with White Power, Native Power or Black Power. These suggest a control element and are more easily viewed as a supremacy statement.
I submit that for all of us oxygen breathing, carnivore, vegitarian, lactose both tolerant and otherwise people, become proud and experienced in human being before deciding we have earned the right to be proud of the color of our skin.
