<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 786452, member: 6370"]I see nothing wrong with acknowledging differences, that's what makes humans interesting. To ignore them would simply be dishonest and silly. A dog is different than a cat, a German Sheppard is different than a Chihuahua...why deny and ignore the difference. Black people, white people, asians, latino...they have different ways of doing some things, it is not wrong to recognize this IMO. It is only when difference become a reason to deny them rights or is a reason to hate that it becomes wrong. I have never understood it when someone talks about 'white pride' or 'white power' or 'black power' or talks about taking pride in ones race. What the heck did THEY have to do with what skin colour they happen to have? Is being a white or black some kind of accomplishment? If you are PROUD of your color or race...then you must have little else to be proud of. </p><p> </p><p>I saw a racist talking about 'White pride' and naming off all that white people have accomplished through the years and I had to wonder...because he happened to be of the same race as the people who did all these things, does that give HIM any reason to be proud? What did HE accomplish?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
