why is it stupid to be proud of your peoples history and their achievements? they are your kin, in a way, and just like a father, brother, uncle can and should be proud of the achievements of their close kin, so you should be proud of the greater family you are part of.
that lack of ingroup loyalty, faith and love is the fucking problem with the west.
that lack of feeling connected enables outsiders to come in and subvert and take over western societies.
I've got the red hair gene. I'm looking around, and not a lot of "white" people seem to have it. They are missing a critical gene of commonality. Just as a black person may not have the same melanin levels in their genetics, so too does a white person not have the same red hair levels.
If I am proud of the "greater family", then I'm proud of the human who made transportable refridgeration, a black man. If the "greater family" requires closer genetics, then Germans, French, Italians, Spaniards all need to get lost, too.
Because where is the line? The line ever-moves.
I am proud of my own accomplishments, and respect the accomplishments of humanity as a whole, but do not lay claim to them for merely sharing a trait or two.
It’s like being proud that you are left handed. It’s not something you had any part of achieving so taking pride in it is stupid. And it seems there are a lot of people new to Kia2 thinking not being proud of some stupid uncontrollable trait also means to be ashamed of some stupid uncontrollable trait. It doesn’t.
on the one hand you have cultures who didnt advance past the stone age until other civilizations arrived
on the other you have those cultures that created monuments that lasted thousands of years, who created art and literature and philosophy and systems of government, and yet you are supposed to feel no pride in belonging to one group over another?
it is true that just belonging to one particular culture or race doesnt make you, yourself automatically better than people of another culture or race, still i dont see a reason why feeling proud of your culture is wrong or stupid.
It’s not something you had any part of achieving so taking pride in it is stupid.
And yet being left handed massively effected my life and abilities, enough so that I do feel accomplished in adapting and overcoming the hardships that it brought about however minor they were in the grand scheme.
Almost exactly like something all races might go through!

My ancestors lived in a hot climate!
Yeah? Well mine live in a cold climate!
you think thats the only difference between the races?
No. I never said that.
I'm merely saying that being proud of the fact that you happened to be born black or white is stupid.

Having pride in what your ancestors accomplished is different than thinking you're better than others because of your skin color. Dumbass.
