Black pride doesn’t take anything away from any other culture or ethnicity. It simply celebrates and elevates black culture, heritage and history. That is the fundamental difference between the two.

FYI…many white ethnics (Jewish folks, Italian folks and Irish folks) celebrate their culture, BUT not at the detriment and demise of other groups. They aren’t advocating that blacks and other minorities be annihilated, enslaved, imprisoned or killed which is what the KKK and Aryan Nation advocate.

Letting it bother you is also like a kid. To each his own, you keep it inside, Im wearing the shoes, the shirt, got the calendar up and we that do have the right to so….get over it (anybody opposed).

It’s okay to have racial pride. There are many shoulders we’re standing on. This is a testament to our strength as a people and how much we’ve accomplished in spite of every conceivable barrier there is thrown in our way. More of us need to know our history — acknowledge it, embrace it, celebrate it and create it.

To me, it sounds like that when they/we have to go back into history and bring up something in the past during a new time of history. That’s not moving forward at all if we keep walking around wearing all of the past on our shoulders cause we have some so called ‘victory’ today. I say be happy, feel it inside, and keep moving forward as people.
