White Pride and how it can be a positive thing

White Pride, as soon as you say it you envision Nazi's, skinheads, and racism. Those of us who are trying to be allies in a more equitable world often find ourselves feeling guilty, or wanting to crawl back inside our whiteness and hide. Well we don't have to be ashamed of being White. We can be proud of being White as long as what we do as White people is something positive for the world around us. If you're truly trying to make the community you live in more equitable than you can be proud you are White. You can stand up with your head held high, because you are doing something to make a change. You don't have to consider White Pride something that is reserved for Fascists, or people filled with hatred. In fact I suggest that we, as white people who are allies in the fight for justice, we should take White Pride back.
