For instance if im proud of cultural pride inadvertantly lead you to not being polish and then go forward and then go forward and hire polish person over french to the french is better than yours ask because while feel its important for.
Semantic difference is not as mine and then go forward and where they come from think its equally important for instance if im proud of your race is not as possible.

Easy Kid!
Racism is a hate toward your fellow man culture of being.
That’s wrong in itself and foolish for we are all one Race and that’s the human Race we just have different Cultures and mannerisms.
Cultrural Pride is cool for it gives us the knowledge to teach others and build with our fellow human brothers of all cultures.
Peace!

nope I Perfer a Black person to work with me before a polish person. But Ya’ll cool with me it’s just a Cultural thing. As long as the person has the credential for the job hire them regardless of Culture of man just get the job done.

I like your question even though I don’t have an answer. Nice thought though.
Edit: I misunderstood what your purpose was. I also took my star back.

Being proud of your race is loving where you came from no matter what other people may think. Racist is stupidity, it’s when you think people don’t like you, stare at you ,etc. because of your color. I think most racism comes from the person that is claiming another is racist. Being racist is when you do not like a person for their color. Instead of judging them by who they are in every way.

A racist has power! A racist is in a position to deny or obstruct someone based on their race alone. However, someone who is proud of their heritage, may feel that they are best, but they would not purposely harm someone else because they were not of the same race.
I get so frustrated with people using racist synonymously with prejudice. Racism involves actually discrimination.

You can be proud of your culture, but this is VERY different than racism. Racism is when you feel so proudly of your culture that you feel that it is the best and that others of your group are better than people in other groups. So when you are in the grocery you make smug faces at other groups, but smile kindly at your own. You determine to hold others in your group in higher regards than people in other groups. And that is just wrong. We all should realize that we all have our strengths and weaknesses and we are all awesome in unique ways, like men and women.
Peace for all!
And if we can get together instead of always separating and pointing fingers, we can use all of our unique strengths to be the best.
I recently answered a question about how obama’s wife said she would put her races’ community first and foremost. That is racism. When you put your group ahead of other groups.
But if she would have said, I will always be proud of my group and their achievements. That would have been cultural pride.

Evidently you do not know about the Baha’i Faith. I am a member, and I can categorically state that Baha’is as a group are the least racist anywhere in the world. And yet we are all proud of our backgrounds. There are over seven million Baha’is from all over the world, and from every religious and non-religious background. (Yes, there are a lot of former atheists that found so much sense and rationality in the Baha’i Faith they embraced it also.) Actually, that seven million figure is probably off by a few hundred million. There are a lot of people who are Baha’is and have yet to discover it.
When asked on one occasion: “What is a Bahá’í?” Abdu’l-Bahá replied: “To be a Bahá’í simply means to love all the world; to love humanity and try to serve it; to work for universal peace and universal brotherhood.”
In one of His London talks He said that a man may be a Bahá’í even if He has never heard the name of Bahá’u'lláh. He added: —
The man who lives the life according to the teachings of Bahá’u'lláh is already a Bahá’í. On the other hand, a man may call himself a Bahá’í for fifty years, and if he does not live the life he is not a Bahá’í. An ugly man may call himself handsome, but he deceives no one, and a black man may call himself white, yet he deceives no one, not even himself.
(Dr. J.E. Esslemont, Baha’u'llah and the New Era, p. 71)

Where does it say that a “racist” has to have power?
I believe that was a self-serving definition that was made-up by leaders in the Black community so as to EXEMPT themselves from being labeled “racist” and justify anti-social behavior by Blacks and otherwise, racially motivated hate crimes! There’s no objective reasoning that supports it!
I believe as you. Embrace your heritage, be it race, ethnicity, color, religion, or even gender! You are what you are, find the good points and be proud of them!
Hatred, jealousy, and discrimination are the ugly sides of racism and the most publicized!
“Racism” by definition is “the belief that any single race is superior to another; and discrimination based on a race…”
But, today’s “political correctness” standards has MOST of today’s young people thinking & believing that “racism” is WHENEVER you consider or speak about ANY certain race! Most of today’s younger generation believe you MUST accept ALL races as potential romantic partners….OTHERWISE you’re a racist!
If you PREFER to stay within your own race (whatever it may be), today’s “politically correct” youths will accuse you of being “racist”!
I hope you don’t allow that brainwashed ignorant logic to cloud your own judgment!
If you “feel” your race is superior, by definition, you would be considered “racist”, but you feel what you feel! You’re ENTITLED to feel however you feel! As long as your personal feelings DO NOT harm or unjustly discriminate others, then you are FREE to feel anyway you choose!
Your two concepts DO coexist, but they have continual conflicts as the line that divides the two is thinly drawn!

Racism is when one racial group of people think they are superior to another and try to discriminate against that race who they feel is beneath them. Contrary to the lies that Political Correctness and liberal elites teach, people can have racial and cultural pride and not be a racist for doing so.

I believe you short change yourself if you only have pride for your own culture. Many cultures have done amazing things to enhance all are lives for the better.
