Sorry, I don't know. I was rambling. I just think the person in the OP is being cringe about race. I think people like him are cringe when they talk about race including adjacent topics. I think racism is an entangled and inseparable part of life under capitalism. I think racism makes life worse in ways that aren't immediately obvious. These ways include the things that people take pride in.
I may not be an expert, but I'm not race blind lol. Could you lay down a little wisdom on what it means to be proud of your race, please?
edit: if I've cringed out I apologize. Leaving it up for shaming purposes
marginalized pride is (very broadly speaking) about surviving and building community in the face of systemic adversity. this is why white or straight pride are nonsensical and the sole domain of bigots.
i suppose in a world where racism, queermisia, etc never existed we would not develop pride movements; but race was invented to perform racism so we wouldn't have one without the other.
Racism was invented by big racists to sell more exploitation
to justify keeping chattel slaves after they converted
oh man
