I was about to say using a picture of Timothy McVeigh kinda undermines the point, but now that I look at it it looks more like the white dude is some sort of digital composite image, while the rest are actual people.

Indeed, it is, and it has a bit of an interesting story behind it.

I think it's just saying "why can everyone else be proud, but when it's my white turn to be proud, I'm called a racist?"

Also, was that really a black man who posted that? Whenever someone says, "As an X, I think..." I automatically tune out and assume it's someone trying to do a #NotAllXPeople

Some kid called me one in school in the 90's. He seemed to get really pissed off that I wasn't deeply hurt by it.

If you don't like "white pride" being considered a bad thing, maybe you should blame the white people who, you know, have utterly tainted it with abject bigotry. Also maybe try to find something about your identity to be proud about that isn't a label pretty much invented so that terrible people could draw a circle and say it was okay to enslave everyone outside that circle.

Does Irish pride count as white pride? Because the Irish will not poo poo the gently caress up about it (not actual people from Ireland, people born in America with like 1/4 ancestry). White pride is just regionalized.

I knew a super white bred middle class American guy who was like this, brought up his Irish heritage any chance he could, celebrated all the Irish holidays, and even changed his English name to the Irish equivalent (eg CAOIMHÍN for Kevin). That's stupid in and of itself, but the dumbest part was that this "Irish" part of him was from his mom, who was ADOPTED-not in Ireland; in America-by a family in which only the mom was Irish heritage but was born in America, and they had like third cousins or something that lived in Ireland.

haha someone posted saying "if you're a juggalo i don't respect you as much" and the comments are just nonstop arguments, apparently some juggalo started saying everyone was racist to discriminate against them.

then a bunch weed-philosophers showed up and now the comments make no sense at all.

'Irish pride' is kind of a weird middle ground because at least in America Irish people were once not considered white but now are. But yeah, it tends to be specific nationalities that were once discriminated against, like Irish and Italians. the only people who actively care about white pride (and to a lesser extent, poo poo like Anglo-Saxon pride) are racist assholes.

That was before America too. The British were fans of slaughtering the Irish for hundreds of years before America was founded. I think there was a British saying along the lines of shooting an Irishman is no worse than shooting a dog.

Given her massive hate for certain Lib Dems, it's probably more out of a hatred for them than the party.

There's a difference a goon in D&D saying "the Lib Dems will be first against the wall when the revolution comes, etc" and a millionaire columnist saying "give me a list of addresses of Lib Dems and I'll go beat them up".

I saw that, it doesn't make sense. I had to go back to see if I'd missed the part in the story where anyone had actually lied about being raped. How can your response to someone getting violently taped be 'so many women lie to get men arrested'?
