People want their belief system accepted by society. What you are saying sounds like a cope, sorry. Your genes are your ancestry, they are not a melanin count. Only white talk like this. By the way, your Trinidad friend takes pride in Rosa Parks. He just doesn't tell you.
My genes ARE my ancestry, but they don't include all white people. That's all I mean to say. I personally think that, for the most part, things like Asian pride is dumb AF. How can you feel pride in Asian accomplishments? Does a Chinese person feel pride in the Japanese Nanking Massacre? I mean.... most Asian families I know hate the other Asian races and then still say Asian Pride. Like WTF?
It’s because grouping people by race makes little sense unless you actually share a culture, language, history and traditions etc. Norwegians and Greeks are European but they are so different from each other in a thousand different ways. Norwegians can be grouped with Nordics but talk to them long enough and you’ll see how they distinguish themselves by countries and tribe.
And you’re absolutely right Asians have a false unity when their countries don’t get along. Even in China, the Han dominate and treat other tribes like crap.
The great thing about America was it used to be unifying by success, ambition, religious devotion, and wide-eyed optimism but the Left seeks to destroy and remake groups in their own distorted image kinda like the Devil.
I come from a pretty liberal place and am pretty liberal for a pede
The real problem becomes when you're convinced that your racism is justice. Like.... right wing racism tends to sprout from the want to not have your culture trampled on. To live in an insulated white neighborhood and when minorities do come to ensure they conform. Whereas left wing racism wants to attack that culture because it's perceived as racist.
When black people in America talk about black pride they talk about a shared African American heritage that often came from people who don't have home countries anymore. So they have a shared kinship from heritage with black Americans of years past.
I'm always suspicious a bit when people are proud to be white. I'm not proud to be white
I am super proud of my Scottish heritage though and have a whole bunch of crap in my house that illustrates that. And screw anybody who says otherwise.
Being proud of your heritage is what it should be. Black people who are descendants of slaves should be proud of being African Americans

Like... it'd be weird AF to me if my black friend from Trinidad felt some strong pride in Rosa Parks. I get why African Americans do though. But you're from Trinidad, she's not your heritage.
Does a Chinese person feel pride in the Japanese Nanking Massacre? I mean.... most Asian families I know hate the other Asian races and then still say Asian Pride. Like WTF?
I take pride in Rosa Parks. It took a tiny black woman to teach a whole bunch of people about equality. Just seems like some folks are really shooting for supremacy.
We should be able to take pride in all great Americans regardless of race or creed. It’s small to only admire people who look like you to do great things or need them to strive for greatness.
Propoganda or not, just a sick woman or not, really doesn't matter. The purpose was justified, in my opinion. I respect your opinion, even we don't share it. On a side note: young Rosa Parks looks an awful lot like AOC, without the $500 blowout and lipstick.

A cope? I'm not familiar with the term.

I honestly don't get any of it.

This. 100% this. When I went to school we were all American. That's missing now. And it's why so many people like me are here.
Wow.
You are all over the damn place with those posts.
SMH.
Aren't Asians like the most racist. Japanese are like number 1 racist right?
In a lot of ways, yes. Culturally.

Allegedly, the real Rosa who refused to change seats was a pregnant teen, but she didn't fit the optics so Rosa was chosen to replicate her situation.
Good thing we don't sweep teen pregnancy and the broken black family unit under the rug anymore, eh?
Shh. We can't talk about that.
Consume staged propoganda and be excited about the next staged propaganda.

Rosa Parks was a LARP, why do you think the papers blew it up
