Not feeling guilty about having been born white is not racism.

"Feeling guilty about having been born white is racism."

Interesting. And true

Curling the tongue is a major skill. :p

That's not an unpopular opinion.

It isn't stupid when everyone else is doing it...

I have never understood why anyone would feel pride in their skin colour....pride in their culture, pride in the town they were born in, pride in their ancestry, I can understand.

I can kind of get my head around someone who has been treated with outright prejudice all their life, based solely on the colour of their skin, taking a perverse pride in their colour as a reaction to that. So, I totally get the whole 'black is beautiful' sentiment as a part of the civil rights movement: after all, that was a response to vicious, legally sanctioned racism (Jim Crow). But pride in being white? What are you kicking against?

You've got your scope wrong...the first not is a negation of the subject, the second not is a negation of the object.

If it was a joke, it was almost funny.

It's funny they used to make us go to pep rallies to celebrate school pride as a kid, I never got that. Yay! We're better than the other horrifying public school down the road because our basketball team is better...
