workrider -
Check out 'Black Pride' , 'Gay Pride' and 'Asian Pride' on Wikipedia .
Then check out 'White Pride' .
As you will observe , the first three are all very complimentary of their specific race or gender , whereas 'White Pride' is defined as everything negative and extreme under the sun .
The moral of the definition is that people who identify as white and are proud of the fact are the epitomy of evil in all its vilest forms .

I am not sure ones skin colour is something to be proud or ashamed of, after we are born with it and cannot change it

I think Sterling can be proud of being a very good football, since this is something he has ACHIEVED

ludicrous statement, how can you be proud of something you haven't achieved?

like saying i'm proud i've got  ginger hair.

2 good goals today though.

How can you be proud of anything unless it's an achievement?
Being black or white is something yo have no control over!
Nothing to be "proud" of.

So to take pride in your nationality eg. "Proud to be British" is not a legitimate statement Confused

And when Man City secure the quadruple their supporters will not be able to claim that they are 'proud' of them Shocked
By:

When: 14 Apr 19 16:21
of course they can, because it's an achievement
By:

But it's the players and management that have achieved the feat , not the supporters , many of whom will simply have been born into a Man City family . As with colour , an accident of birth , surely Mischief

You said "proud of them" the players, not themselves as supporters

I agree that many people claim to be proud of their heritage and yet they have done nothing to shape their particular history . Yet we have so many claiming Black pride , Gay pride etc that it's become some sort of badge .
I suppose people should be proud of what they have become rather than be proud of what they were at birth . Maybe 'thankful' would be a better word than 'proud' .

When THEY take over Britain and enslave you (30 years by some estimates), then you can claim to be proud of being British as a mark of defiance.

To be fair

In the past Black people and Gay people may have felt unfairly victimised...and made to feel if their worth was worth less than white

heterosexual people...so this is their response

Now we are trying to remove discrimination and see everybody the same regardless of sex, colour or sexual inclination then we are

much more the same and can compete equally.

But people always deserve credit for achievement, Sterling should be proud of his football ability.
