Is White pride bad because White Europeans have influenced the world so much?
English, Spanish, Portuguese, & French are the 4 most spoken languages in the Western Hemisphere. They're all European languages. The telescope, microscope, automobile, electricity, telephone, aircrafts, television, computers, jet engine, camera, refrigerator were all invented by Whites. Europe is a small continent. You can hate all you want, & focus on the negatives through out history. But I think it's impressive that people who make up less than 15% of the world's population basically have had the most impact on global culture & inventions. So White people having racial pride is the equivalent of a model saying she's pretty. Maybe it's wrong to state the obvious to others.

First of all, you didn't choose to be white. Therefore, you didn't earn or achieve anything. Secondly, white history is nothing to be proud of. Death, genocide, and racism is all you have to be proud of.

My only problem with this is this has been changing for a long time. You can be proud all you want but does that mean Afghans should proud they've almost stood toe to toe with NATO for a decade? If the West is so strong, are the Vietnamese stronger because resisted the French, British and Americans? I'm an American living in China and many if not all the Asians I speak to admire or at least sympathize with Osama Bin Laden because they say "he stood to the West and colonialism". You don't want to talk about the negatives but for many people all over the world, that's all there is.
That said, I hope you have pride in your culture and history. Everyone should, I just hope its pinned to more than what you mentioned.

No...
It's because historically "white pride" has been more about the persecution of others than pride in oneself. Even today, what message do those who preach "white pride" send?
You say that Europeans have had the most impact on global culture and inventions, but I beg to differ. Whites did not discover steel or gunpowder - the two things that helped them colonize other lands and they were not the first mathematician, nor did they come up with the concept of college of higher learning.
Yes, Europeans are on top now, but it has not always been that way, nor will it always be that way; things are changing as we speak, and Europeans' rule hasn't been that long.

white pride is not bad. It is bad to those who have none for themselves, that take issue with it and immediately bring extreme white supremacy into the mix
@smart n sassy
if I recall incorrectly i apologize, but dont you have bi-racial kids?
you dont have the tiniest bit of pride. you may be biologically white but you are done in so far as white pride goes, i always find it offensive when people who mix still take it upon themselves to speak as if they were still in anyway representative of white people. I mean really, you put aside the family heritage and roots you were supposedly proud of... you couldnt even say the word white.

White pride is bad because white people don't know how to behave when demonstrating white pride (Hitler, KKK). Once you learn how to behave maybe other people won't have problems with it anymore.

Nothing wrong with white pride as long as you aren't a KKK member.

I am proud to be a woman, I am proud to be an American and I am proud of my families heritage and roots. We are not billionaires, we did not invent anything dramatic, but we were never slave owners and we are hard working, honest, intelligent and loyal

If people think White Pride is so bad, they have their reasons, may not be good and logical reasons but they are reasons. Honestly I really don't care as long as no one gets killed I am happy. But even though Europeans came up with everything, Asian and other countries are the one that made them 10x better.
