Do you believe there is a difference between being proud and supporting white supremacy?
3 comments

Sure, witness the many "Latino Pride" or "Black Pride" types of groups or festivals. Most of these don't promote a notion of supremacy. I'm not sure why anyone is really proud of something they had no choice in, but that's probably a separate issue.
Do some of the people supporting white supremacy know the difference?
They do.

Here is Richard Spencer mocking white nationalism:

C'mon, that's an absurd misreading of those comments.

> He says he rejects nationalism, independence, and sovereignty for Other Races. He thinks the Aryan Race, being a conquering and wandering global people, must destroy and dominate all the world.

"I'm not a white nationalist because I want the entire world to be white-only" is a nonsense quibble on the terminology.

Have you ever asked a black person if being proud of being black was black supremacy?
