Or do you not really care? I'm interested in knowing whether people care about this sort of thing. Are you glad that you were born the color you are or is it simply not important or not something you even consciously think about? Why would someone be proud of being a certain skin color? Is it racist to prefer to be white than another color? Let me know your thoughts.

If this is too controversial then I apologise to ze mods in advance ;)

Race doesn't play a part of me being proud of who I am. Its the type of person I am that makes me proud.

I hardly even notice it. A person is a person whether he is black or white. It's idiotic to be anything but netural towards race.

I'm happy to be me which happens to be white. Being proud of a race is...odd.

I'm content with what I am, but I see no reason to be proud of things which I have no control over.

Something's gone terribly wrong if you have to attach your pride to skin color; you don't even have a choice in it, how can you be proud of being one color and not the next?

well for centuries, having white skin was seen as being superior, even today it is, so it isnt all that shocking if a white man is proud that is skin is white (non black/brown).

I don't really care. Although I wouldn't want to change, that is mainly because I am used to being pale. To be proud, would be slightly strange

i'm proud who i am as a person nothing more.

what skin color got anything to do with now days? Only thing skin color plays a roll in anything

A: older people who lived in those times but the generation im in couldn't careless

b: sterotypeing like a white person olny really hang out with whites then the one time they really interact with other race something bad happens. then this sterotypeing B.S comes into play

I really only tend to take pride in actual accomplishments.

I didn't have anything to do with being white. It is just the way I was born and was out of my hands.

Thats cool. You have the experience of being able to live the best/worst of both worlds. I am sure it has influenced your perspective of life quite a bit. Are you excepted by both races equally? Do you have contact with both sides of your family?

Yeah, I'm accepted by both. I get a lot of jokes at school about being half black or just black, but I don't take offense to at as some would but I do have a problem with people saying the N word. :( I spend more time with my dad's side of the family (black) but most of my friends are white. I'm Pretty Balanced :P

In my opinion, Everyone should be proud of who they are no matter what colour, race, age or anything. Just Be proud of yourself and live your life happily. Unless you're some sort of sexual pervert who has nasty fantasies. Then I condemn you into a life of misery.

I'm black, and I don't care about race. I'm more about myself personally than I am about the race I am. Because whats good for the whole race because they think we're all the same is not always good when it comes down to the single man. Racial pride is pretty stupid in my eyes, it's not something that happened afwards, something you can choose, but something the you're born with. Sure, I'm black and I wouldn't have it any other way, I've been called uncle tom for my music taste(which also includes hip-hop so I don't know why). And sure I'm proud of the things my race achieved but there is no use of holding on to past achievements. Moving on is important, developing new is important, not looking at the past and think that we have/had everything figured out and done, and that's it.

I'm mostly White, except for the 1/4 Cherokee. But like many a History/Anthropology teacher has told me, race means next to nothing. It's the culture you are part of that is important. But even that only goes so far in explaining who I am as a person.
