My issue runs more along the lines of the fact that there is a clear double standard ... pride is permitted, unless it's "white." One can be proud to be black, queer, latino/a, native american, pagan, asian, etc. without penalty ... but white pride is automatically equated with racism. White guy kicks the shit out of a black guy and it's a hate crime. Black males torture, rape, and kill four or five white young adults specifically because they are white and it's not.
An equally wrong double standard exists between behavior that I, as a female, can get away with, that a male would get reprimanded, fired, or criminallly charged for engaging in in the workplace.
If we're going to be fair about things, lets be fair.
