It looks shopped to me. The proportions just seem all wrong. That might just be from her bending over to showcase her cleavage, though.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

Is it just me or is her head way too big, in that picture.

Yup.  Models are virtually always photoshopped.

Personally, I think racial pride of any kind is dumb, but I don't think people should be demonized just for having pride in their ethnicity.

Thing is though whites don't need a white pride movement as they've not been an opressed minority.

I'm sure there are some Zimbabweans who would disagree with you.

And while they may not need one, I don't think we should automatically assume that "white pride" people are racist.  Then again, maybe that's just the egalitarian in me talking.

in Zimbabwe that was an overreaction to colonialism
2nd. pride in being white is tainted and frankly should stay that way (look the whole we're white and proud movements always end up awfuly.  Also at least in AMERICA if you are feeling sad for being white well your problems would be 10xworse if you were black

I'd wager that the person who wrote that comic was not, in fact, from Zimbabwe. Indeed, I'd even go as far as say they are most likely from a white-majority country, with decent odds on the US. "White pride", specifically in the United States and I suspect also in other white-majority countries, is mostly a slogan used by white supremacists, neo-nazis, and their ilk. Them, and people who think they are terribly clever by ignoring the historical context of the terms "black pride" and "white pride" and treating them as if in a cultural vacuum.

It's not a stretch to infer that a person repeating a phrase used disproportionately by racists is also racist.

There's a difference between pride in one's own ethnicity (i.e., "Irish Pride"), which is fine as long as it doesn't degenerate into mindless nationalism, and pride in being White, which is actually a euphemism for white supremacy and has always been used by neo-Nazis and racist groups.

(Before someone brings it up, yes, "Black Pride" is different because unlike most White people in the United States, Black Americans who are descendants of slaves sadly cannot trace their ancestry the same way. "Black Pride" is generally also used as an expression against the racist idea that Black people should be ashamed of being Black, whereas White people face no such prejudice in America.)

THIS.

Seriously, there are pride festivals for several European ethnicities (St. Patrick's Day, Highland Games, Oktoberfest) that are widely celebrated and not controversial at all. The "White Pride is not racist" argument fails because there is no Grand Unified White Culture to celebrate.

Exactly what Random said.

Not to mention you can't just derail the discussion by mentioning a different country when it's fairly obvious we're going by Western standards.

Okay, you have your opinions, I have mine.  I don't think it's worth getting into a shouting match over, so let's change the subject.
