I personally don't think its okay either way. Especially in areas here in LA where latinos dominate, "Brown Pride" in the wrong context, can be taken as an assertion of dominance rather than ethic pride. Moreover, this consolidation of races by some distinct color is a superficial, purely American categorization of perceived ethnic divisions. We are creating our own ethnic rivalries here as if we were warring faction in other parts of the world. It certainly is not okay, and is ignorant and uninformed for people to groups themselves in this fashion.
Are all whites of the same ancestry? All blacks? Are all Asians just another chinese person to most? Are all Brown people Latino? Are all Latinos brown? Certainly and unequivocally - no!!
Latino means people of latin america here...and this ranges from people who can be very white to people who are very dark. Interestingly, in Europe, something that is of Latin origin is typically Italian. If there were "Brown pride" in Asia means being part of a grouping of at least a billion people, from India, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka. In essence these colors and these categories we use here are nothing but empty words we all fight over.
As soon as we here in American realize that there are hundreds and more likely thousands of ethnicities, we can realize that it is more important to be a citizen of the world than belong to one distinct ethnicity. Its fine to be prideful, but not at the expense of others. Irish-American pride or German-American pride is much more desirable to white pride, as Guatemalan-American pride (and waving the American flag, not the Guatemalan flag of all things) is much more desireable than the artificial ethnicities we made for ourselves here. |

Double standard, huh? |

none

It's reverse discrimination.
If one ethnic group can do it without criticism, ALL should be allowed to do it without criticism. Why is everybody except "whites" allowed to be proud of their ethnic group??
People that use double standards are hypocrites. |

It's not O.K. It's all about political correctness, which is going to be the ruin of this nation. |

does that also mean that whites in LA county get preferential hiring treatment or get first crack at in state schools? |

The term "White Pride" was corrupted by its use in groups like the KKK and the Skinheads. What has happened is that we as a Country have become complacent and way too politically correct. You have a poster to this question that screams "brown pride" all day every day, and that's okay. So to answer you, forgetting the history of the term, I guess it's okay as well to use it in this venue. Just my opinion... |

We are not supposed to be proud. We are the mean evil white people who are responsible for all the ills of the world.
We are the only ones not allowed to be bigots too. |

you know what i think GLITTERB copies and pastes her answer, its always the same one, she has nothing to say so she just puts that, shes a reason why this question is asked and i would like to apologize she does not represent us. she does not represent what i(being a mexican-american) stand for, so ignore her
i dont know why people have to go overboard with the whole brown pride white power stuff, not the debate, but it as a whole, i think its great one has pride for oneself but to hate other groups? even kill just because one doesnt like the other color? thats not what this country is about |

Because white liberals, and many white Democrats, are gutless and ashamed that they were born white. |

You don't have to advertise it, just being it is good enough for most of us. |

It is terrible that white people who have done so much for this country aren't even allowed to be proud of who they are. |

Because Whites are the only ones who are looked at as being racists. What a crock.
Your question makes me think of how Houston lost our beloved rock and roll station, Rock 101 KLOL, out to a Mexican music station called "Mega 101 - Latino and Proud!" It burns me up every time I think about it. |

because too many people are pansies and dont want to be "politically incorrect" and think white people still owe black people something for slavery and for some reason think being proud of being white is racist. |

If anyone actually wanted equality rather than just more power, there would not be groups like the KKK, NAACP and MADD |

The white is so diluted coming from so many different countries. What exactly would we celebrate. I believe that white people shout get involved in these celebrations. We need to become one. I am tired of people saying an African American athlete who has made and comes from a poor neighborhood should be responsible to go back and help. Maybe they should, but doesn't that thinking separate us. Poor neighborhoods are everybodys responsibility. Black history month should be celebrated by all. We need to seek to understand each other rather than look for more ways in which we are different. We need to face facts. We (white men) have held down so many people for so long and the list keeps growing. What is to be so proud of. Start today to put this country right and maybe in the future we'll have something to look back on and be happy about. |

Where do you live? I DO see white pride and brown pride advertised and it don't bother me either way. |

its just fine to have white pride. I have white pride, I'm proud of who I am and what I am. the problem is that most people feel the need to put others down and say it's because they have white pride. Pride is being proud of your self, not putting down others because they are not white.... |

Because historically the celebration of "White Pride" has been directly associated with the continued oppression of people of color. So it is stigmatized. Besides, everything already celebrates "white pride" without actually saying it. Look at anything in mainstream popular culture and you'll find the white pride you are looking for in the faces you find there. |

They already have Latino Pride. |

Well, it's society thing. For so long the white population ruled everything, and suppressed everyone else in general. So to hear something like white power is a real slap in the face to a lot of people. Plus that's what the supremacists and KKK say. |

Because white pride is associated with hate and oppression. Sure I am proud to be European-American, but I am not going to wave a swastika flag around. |

I am ok with Human day as soon as others stop with there Brown pride, or whatever it may be. Why should the Whites bow down first? But, we always do because we dont want to piss anyone off. Political correct, right? I know personaly I am proud of my German heritage, and more proud to be an American. I also dont mind seeing a Mexican flag as long as the US flag is with that person too. Especially, if they are making money here in the US. Otherwise, go home. Tito Ortiz and Oscar Delajola used to bring in both Mex and US flags. I liked that. |
