Irrelevant. You were claiming there's no such thing as "black pride parades" and I gave 4 examples of them. Hence you've been totally refuted. Crawl back into your sewage pipe.

Here's the AI overview of black pride. Nothing about militancy at all.

Black Pride is a movement that encourages Black individuals to celebrate their cultures and embrace their African heritage. It's a response to racism and a way to reclaim and celebrate Black identities, often within the broader context of the Black Lives Matter movement and LGBTQ+ Pride.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Key aspects of Black Pride:

Cultural Celebration:
Black Pride is about celebrating Black culture, history, and traditions, including music, art, literature, and spirituality.

Response to Racism:
It emerged as a counter-narrative to white supremacy and a way to combat discrimination and prejudice.

Self-Determination:
It emphasizes the right of Black people to define themselves and their communities.

Empowerment:
It aims to empower Black individuals and communities by promoting self-love, education, and social justice.

Yes, when I ask for "black pride" parades, I expected literal "black pride" parades. Remember, this started because you made a comparison to "white pride." If the exact language used matters for one, it does for the other as well. Otherwise, you're just an intellectually dishonest piece of shit moving the goalposts.

And you trying to ignore the historical background of one while repeatedly bringing up the historical background of the other is ad hoc, at best.
Finding AI answers that also ignore that history is irrelevant.

Which is exactly what those parades are--the celebration and pride of being black. That's exactly what black pride means, as proven repeatedly here. Just as LGBT pride means being proud of being LGBT. You've been refuted.

No, again, when you make a comparison to "white pride," invoking its history, language matters.
If you can't debate the two using the same rules, you're just an intellectually dishonest piece of shit.

But we all know that... so leaving it there is just the status quo.

White supremacy IS the history as well as the present of white pride. White pride events ARE Nazi and white supremacist. There is no such racism involved with black pride events. No claims of racial superiority. No calls for black nationalism. No hatespeech of white people. No embracing of Malcolm X's teachings. Just black folk celebrating being black. I think I've made this clear enough.

Then to repeat one of my original questions, why can't white people celebrate their racial heritage, if it similarly has no involvement with the history of "white pride?"

I already told you why. Here it is again since you probably didn't even read it:

"And besides that, why would the majority require a parade and a festival to promote itself when it never suffered persecution or discrimination to begin with? Having pride in oneself is a direct and public refutation of the view that your race is inferior and something to be ashamed of. And for privileged whites, that has never been the case. IOW, for whites there is nothing to be proud AGAINST. Hence the futility of white pride."

Don't believe me? Then why are there no white celebration festivals? Think about it.

Again, why does anyone need a reason, you approve of, to celebrate (again, you moved the goalpost to "promote") their own heritage? "White guilt?"
As already pointed out, things like Oktoberfest and St. Patrick's Day are Anglo-European culture celebrations.

Whiteness isn't a heritage or ethnicity. It's a race. Just like blackness is. White people don't celebrate race because of the association of such with white power and white supremacists, in addition to the fact that they have never been marginalized or oppressed and so have nothing to be proud against. How does one take pride in being the oppressive majority? One doesn't, as evidenced by the fact that white people just don't do it. But by all means, be my guest and get a bunch of your white friends together and have a white parade and see what happens. lol

So this is about your belief in white guilt. That's leftist nonsense. You can wallow in it all you like, but I'm not joining you.

Anglo-Europeans have plenty to be proud of. Countries founded by them are the desired destination of most the other races/cultures in the world. Immigrants/refugees only move one-way.

But you're right. White people don't fixate on race, and it could be argued that those who do, nowadays, are erecting artificial exclusion and barriers. Whites celebrating their cultures are inclusive of everyone. There's no nonsense about cultural appropriation.
