PROUD TO BE WHITE. What is healthy pride, true pride?
And what is false pride, pride coming before the fall?
Gay pride, black pride. Vital. What about white pride, European pride?
Voice on a radio: "It’s time for Europeans to take pride in being European."
PROUD TO BE WHITE. Is that healthy pride, true pride, or false pride?
We've all heard: pride comes before the fall. We also know history: the horrors coming from belief in white superiority.
We know that gay pride and black pride are vital.
But should we be proud to be white, to be of European origin?
Something to think about.
Plus what is going on with political correctness? There's no space for a healthy pride in one's group, if one is from a dominant group. Instead one just has instilled unhealthy guilt and shame. And there's no holding people from non-dominant groups accountable for wrongs they have committed. Everything is the fault of those labelled oppressors.
This makes things extra troubling with Islam and Islamic beliefs. There are loads of Islamic charges of Islamophobia, but there's almost no Islamic facing of the negative, say, in Islamic history - and also no facing, say, the anti-Semitism and anti-Christianity and anti-everything-but-Islam within Islam.
As for the politically correct, when they're part of a dominant group, instead of speaking out, they stew in their dirty mess of guilt and shame and fear - and when they rage, they rage at people with healthy pride. And when the politically correct come from a non-dominant group, one hears things like: only whites can be racist, and on and on.
Not a healthy situation at all. Elsa
