I really don't understand ...I am american... yes I my skin is white with reddish undertones... I have blue eyes.... I have reddish blonde hair... I am short.... I have Irish, English, Polish, and Native American ancestors. I am female.
These are just ways to identify oneself based on phsyical characteristics.
In history people have done horrible things to each other, People today do horrible things to each other. Genocide, ethnocism, rape... all in the name of religion, racial issues, money etc. In the future I have no doubt that people will continue to be awful to each. But may one day we will have a civilization where everyone is fairly treated, but I doubt it.
I am not responsible for anything that has happened in the past, its a matter of fact. Of course the facts are always colored by who won the battle/war, but that is another topic.
Do I have white pride? No not really... it's just the color of my skin. It's not something that I control, but I do understand that it my influence how people interact in the world.
