Category:White supremacy
- Related edits to Category:Neo-Nazism: [4][5]
White pride is in Category:Neo-Nazism, which is Category:Nazism, which is Category:White supremacy, therefore White pride ought not also be in Category:White supremacy. WP:SUBCAT is clear on this:
... an article should be categorised as low down in the category hierarchy as possible, without duplication in parent categories above it. ... a page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category (supercategory) of that category ...
If you think the category tree itself is incorrect (ie one of the cats ought not be in one of the other cats), then please fix it. If you disagree with WP:SUBCAT, then propose changing it at WT:CAT. Otherwise, please follow it. Mitch Ames (talk) 03:02, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- You do not understand the purpose of categories or the network structure of them. Your edits are disruptive, not the category rules. "Rarely" does not mean never. Hmains (talk) 03:23, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- The sentence that I quoted from WP:SUBCAT seems fairly clear to me. While it's true that "rarely" does not mean "never", I suggest that the onus is on you to justify why WP:SUBCAT should not apply here.
- Perhaps there is a problem with the category tree itself - should Category:Neo-Nazism not be in Category:Nazism, or should Category:Nazism not be in Category:White supremacy? If so, please fix the category tree.
- Mitch Ames (talk) 03:29, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- No, the problem is with your simplistic disruptive edits that totally disregard the purpose of categories, which is to help readers navigate to articles, not to make a pretty (in some minds) category structure. Other editors have attempted to discuss this with you but you fall back to simplistic rote answers. Before you make changes, you need to read articles and see how other editors had a valid purpose in adding categories. And read and comprehend the rest of the category rules, such as those involving non-diffusing categories and, while not helpful, many categories are non-diffusing even though the non-diffusing template has never been added to the category. They are still non-diffusing, regardless. Hmains (talk) 03:55, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- I have read the "the rest of the rules" at WP:CAT, including WP:DUPCAT. If you think that some of the categories relevant to this discussion should be non-diffusing, then please tag them as such with the appropriate template(s). That would immediately resolve the problem and comply with the well-established and generally-accepted guidelines.
- Personally I don't think any of the relevant categories here are non-diffusing, but if you tag the appropriate categories as such we might then discuss whether those specific categories should be diffusing or not - which is a separate discussion as to whether or not we should follow the unambiguous, well-established and generally-accepted, SUBCAT guideline (which explicitly allows for non-diffusing subcatetories). Mitch Ames (talk) 08:00, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
... a pretty (in some minds) category structure ...
That would be the minds of all the editors whose consensus created and supports WP:SUBCAT. If you disagree with SUBCAT, please propose a change to it. Otherwise I suggest that we should follow the consensus and the clearly stated guidelines. Mitch Ames (talk) 08:00, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Mitch Ames and Hmains: I think it's wrong to have the whole category Category:Neo-Nazism contained in Category:White supremacy. A lot of the articles about Neo-Nazism aren't about white supremacy. It would be better to have the article Neo-Nazism contained in Category:White supremacy and to have a See also note in the header of Category:Neo-Nazism linking to Category:White supremacy. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:28, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Did you mean Category:Neo-Nazism instead of Category:Nazism? Mitch Ames (talk) 12:40, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- I did, thx for asking. I've corrected the sentence. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:43, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Did you mean Category:Neo-Nazism instead of Category:Nazism? Mitch Ames (talk) 12:40, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: I believe your suggestion might work, but I suppose the editors adding the Category:Neo-Nazism category think, based on the main article content, that Neo-Nazism is inherently white supremacist and so it does not matter whether each article in the category mentions white supremacy--it is always there.

I'm sorry, but all the other "pride" pages (black, gay, transgender) are "postive" and good. However, since we all know whites are the only racists on earth, Let's make white pride negative! Of course. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whybobby3 (talk • contribs) 19:15, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Okay, nice job hiding behind your biased rules. Guess this means I can make all the other pride articles be "racist" and full of "supremacists". Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whybobby3 (talk • contribs) 19:26, 17 March 2017 (UTC) |
Absolutely Biased
I believe it can be phrased in more positive light.
"White pride can be identified as the celebration of being of fair-skinned European origin and focus on the diverse cultures and languages they embrace - as well as emphasize their struggles to overcome many injustices they formed part of in history - moving forward as a race that is aware of historical impedances and endeavoring to shape a world that embraces every culture and race as equal - as a global family. Habashwe (talk) 15:00, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- Can you source that? Our articles depend upon sources, I'll drop you a note explaining it. And I've never heard of this bit about a "global family" being linked to white pride. Doug Weller talk 16:27, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- Absolutely biased is right—the quoted passage above, that is. El_C 17:06, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Reverted addition of Disputed and URS tags
Please discuss specific issues with the sources. These tags have been discussed and removed before. It would be helpful if the person who added them could clarify before reverting. Edaham (talk) 23:39, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Removed the tags again today! Could @MilkGames: please take a couple of moments to review the FAQ and discuss the issue here before reverting. Many thanks
- also check out the info on template:npov, which will help you understand how and when to apply and remove this tag. In particular, take note of the section on so-called drive by tagging, which is discouraged and requests users to bring up their issues on the article's talk page when adding this template.
Many thanks! Edaham (talk) 01:23, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Please include the positive white pride
Not all white pride is racist. Sure there is some racism in every 'pride' group and many extreme white groups have used the term. It is fine to include that in the article, BUT it also needs to be mentioned that there are non racist uses for the term just like gay pride, black pride, asian pride, and any other pride. Saying there is no non racist context is bigoted and disrespectful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.103.79.186 (talk) 17:55, 17 March 2017

- White Mother's Pride is not racist, and toasts well. White pride is racist, as shown by reliable sources. . . dave souza, talk 21:48, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Sure it's shown racist by reliable sources. But some are left wing biased sources and do not account for all the uses for the term white pride. Just because you can find 'reliable' left wing articles does not make it any more true. Right wing articles are just as 'reliable' but also biased. Being reliable isn't the end all be all when your biased and wikipedia has a tendency to call left wing articles 'reliable' in a very unsettling way. Plenty of articles exist shown how black pride and other prides can and have been racist. Just because you do not agree with the non racist white pride does NOT mean it is a topic that should be banned from discussing. All forms of white pride should be discussed on Wikipedia to promote the truth. There are many fewer right wing news outlets to use compared to left wing news outlets, many of which left wing wikipedia users call unreliable whenever they are used. This presents clear political bias just by selection of sources and an underepresentation in media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.103.79.186 (talk) 22:04, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- "...it's shown racist by reliable sources." Yes, exactly. You could've stopped there. There are plenty of reliable right-wing outlets, but since you have not presented any sources for this article at all, this is a waste of time. Grayfell (talk) 23:53, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
dude stop making every wikipedia article lean liberal. Don't inject your bias please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.103.79.186 (talk) 00:16, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
- You're granting me an awful lot of power based on a big assumption. Thanks, I guess? This page is the place to talk about improving this article. If you admit that the article reflects reliable sources, and you don't have any new reliable sources to present, there's not a lot more to be said. Grayfell (talk) 00:25, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
The only thing reliable about it is how biased it is. As according to Wikipedia rule you can be 'reliable' but still biased. Every time someone advocates a right wing news source or article you revert it.

Please make a list of White Pride organizations that reject White Nationalism and racism. Right now White pride and WN/"racialism" are completely impossible to distinguish, that's why the article is negative : it points out the dishonesty of using one as a code word for the other. The concept of white pride itself isn't racist in any way, but the tone of the article is about the people who identify with the term, who AFAIK are almost exclusively white nationalists and racists. If you want to argue that the term is the equivalent of gay pride, show us White Pride organizations that want to live in harmony with other races. Gay Pride people don't want to split their country in two between the gay side and the straight side, and aren't known to believe that straight people are genetically inferior either. Note that I completely support fighting the regressive left bias of Wikipedia that believes in "white privilege", that's a real problem. But even then there's hypocrisy from the people who support "white pride" themselves. The typical white nationalist blog/forum starts by saying "Why are white people called racist for being proud of their heritage, while minorities are praised for doing it?". That would be a great argument...if they didn't have an entire section dedicated to so-called "race realism" which aims at "scientifically" proving that whites are genetically superior! So yeah, you need to show pro-white MODERATES who use the concept of "white pride" if you think it's falsely reduced to racist pro-white extremists. Show examples of these people and Wiki can make a section on them IMO. Hamstergamer (talk) 08:49, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

The first sentences ... White Pride: "White pride is a motto primarily used by white separatist, white nationalist, neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations in order to signal racist or racialist viewpoints" Black Pride: "Black pride is a movement in response to dominant white cultures and ideologies that encourages black people to celebrate black culture and embrace their African heritage." Gay Pride: "Gay pride or LGBT pride is the positive stance against discrimination and violence toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people to promote their self-affirmation, dignity, equality rights, increase their visibility as a social group, build community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance."

Many white americans, as being seen and discussed on social media, find this offensive and extremely biased. I am one of those white americans. I have noticed that the public wants me to feel bad for being white or to degrade me for being white, or to inappropriately characterize me for being white. I love America and all of the people that live here. Most of us do. However, when comparing this to the pages of black pride, Asian pride, and such, I feel more of this negative stigma attached. This is bias, in a simple form. I teach my son to honor and value all lives. Wikipedia is a site that many use for general information. How can I recommend this to my son when he is being characterized by the same site negatively. There are bad apples declaring white pride, just like black pride and so on. I show my son their evil by pointing out their works. We live in an inclusive world that should uplift everyone because we know not the paths that they had to tread. I ask what did I do to earn this derision and be labeled like this? I want my son to hold his head up and be proud as he tries to compete as well as work with everyone else.

Please change "is a motto primarily used by white separatist, white nationalist, neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations in order to signal racist or racialist viewpoints.[3][4] It is also a slogan used by the prominent post-Ku Klux Klan group Stormfront and a term used to make racist/racialist viewpoints more palatable to the general public who may associate historical abuses with the terms "white nationalist", "neo-Nazi", and "white supremacist"." Is a slogan that encourages white people to celebrate white culture and embrace their European heritage. Because all other "Pride" listings, except "White Pride", are of a positive light. This exception is highly racist. I am White and proud to be White, and this has NOTHING to do with hating anyone else. Joepete6018 (talk) 11:58, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

This article should be edited to show that just because someone has "White Pride" does not make the person a racist. If the assumption that all persons who promote "White Pride" are racist then the assumption that all persons that promotes "Black Pride", "Asian Pride", "Native American Pride", etc. must be labeled in like articles as racist too. I'm very offended by this article which labels all "White Pride" advocates as racists. I have no problem when such is mentioned in this article as long as it is clearly noted that some hate groups use similar slogan to promote their agendas, while other groups or individuals simply use the term "White Pride" to only show their pride in their own heritage.
I propose that a separate paragraph be inserted after the introductory paragraph that clearly, without reservations states that the use of "White Pride" does not always indicate a racist slant anymore than all groups that promotes "Black Pride", "Asian Pride", "Native American Pride", etc. denotes racism.

deleted and reinstated comment
The article should have a new paragraph, something like the following:
While "White Pride" has been used to promote hate by certain supremacist groups such as the KKK and Neo-Nazi groups, it is clear the term is also used by many as a simple statement of "Pride" for one's heritage. If the assumption that all persons who promote "White Pride" are racist then the assumption that all persons that promotes "Black Pride", "Asian Pride", "Native American Pride", etc. must be labeled in like articles as racist too. Of course, one can not apply such to any group just because they express "Pride" in there heritage. It is therefore, important to keep in context how "White Pride" is use. I have no problem when such is mentioned in this article as long as it is clearly noted that some hate groups use similar slogan to promote their agendas, while other groups or individuals simply use the term "White Pride" to only show their pride in their own heritage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larrysharpsburg (talk • contribs) 19:41, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Not done: this is not the right page to request additional user rights. You may reopen this request with the specific changes to be made and someone will add them for you, or if you have an account, you can wait until you are autoconfirmed and edit the page yourself. Additionally, Wikipedia reflects how reliable sources treat topics and sometimes two semantically similar topics are treated very differently by sources. For example, compare misogyny to misandry. Most reliable sources treat the topic white pride as being most notable as a slogan used by white supremacists whereas sources indicate the other terms are used mostly to describe coherent social movements.

White power
I notice that white power now redirects here, which, as a slogan is probably even more famous that "white pride". If we choose to discuss this subject here, we probably need an entire new section, and there is a paragraph on the coining of that term in the white nationalism article. In my opinion, the other term probably deserves its own article. There are certainly plenty of sources to be found on it. jps (talk) 20:41, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- @9SGjOSfyHJaQVsEmy9NS: These topics are so intertwined. I think it's okay to redirect here but it should be directly addressed if so. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:00, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
- Seems reasonable. The question is how to do that. Also, why, then, should "white pride" be the main article? There seem to be more sources on "white power" which has an older provenance coming out of Lew Rockwell nonsense. jps (talk) 01:23, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
- My impression is that "white pride" is simply an attempt to deflect attention from what most of those folks actually are, which is white supremacists. That's what differs it from "black pride", which was an actual movement to encourage African-Americans to embrace their heritage, not camouflage for the radical black power movement. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:59, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
- Well, although I think the claim that black power movements were somehow "radical" in comparison to other civil rights initiatives is mostly based on white media hype rather than reliable sourcing, I think I see your point that there is a bit of asymmetry. On the other hand, it seems to me that "white pride" is a reactionary statement in the same way that "white power" is -- a direct false equivalence "rebranding" of civil rights messages (just like white lives matter is today). The larger idea of white supremacist appropriation of civil rights movement words could work as an overarching article idea. jps (talk) 12:28, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
- When I refer to "radical" black power groups, I'm thinking of such groups as the Black Panthers and SNCC, as opposed to, say, Martin Luther King Jr.. Sure, the media loves a dichotomy to play up, but I think there's no doubt that those groups pretty much defined themselves in opposition to King's non-violent integrationist methods. My basic point, though, is as you say, that "white pride" is a "rebranding" (in marketing and advertising they would say "repositioning") of "white supremacy" or "white nationalism" in a way that "black pride" was not for "black power": Black pride was a distinct movement. Sure, it had its separatist elements, but they were not predominant. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:03, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure the categorical separation of SNCC from the SCLC is editorially wise, but this is a separate issue. I think I agree with what you are saying here, BMK, but this would then imply that we probably should write two articles or an another article which doesn't preference one slogan over the other. "White supremacists slogans" for example? jps (talk) 15:31, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I have little to no enthusiasm for writing more about the subjects of other slogans, but as long as the redirect is in place, I'm afraid we may not have a choice in the matter. There were people here saying that they thought the redirect of white power to this page is okay, but that we should have some explicit mention of it. I don't see how to do that in a readable way. Would there be any objection to making a "white power" article or changing the redirect back to white nationalism, for example (maybe with an anchor to the paragraph)? jps (talk) 17:29, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- In my view the redirect should go to white supremacy. i looked at the history of the redirect and it has flipped a lot over the years. The best thing to do would be probably be to hold an RfC on the Talk page of the redirect asking what page it should point to; one of the questions should be whether the page should be permanently protected so that it takes another RfC to change it. How about that? Would be easy to set up. Jytdog (talk) 19:00, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

New concerns about NPOV - with sources provided
First of all sorry for any mistakes, i'm a new user. I read some of the rules of wikipedia but it's not 100 % clear. So i didn't know where i should post this. BTW I read the FAQ and the parts of archives that treated the subject and i know this subject has been tackled many times but in my opinion this only points out the fact that this is not neutral so i searched for evidence since most of arguments have been said. So i ran into those articles which on the same principle as wikipedia made an article about white pride which is undeniably more neutral than this wikipedia page (abuse wiki and enacademic). Now i don't know if there is a clear define white pride movement (not associated with alt-right, racism etc ...) like gay/asian/ (...)/ pride however there is proof for individual that could form this group. (Here some youtuber's opinions while i know some may not be a good reference for a wikipedia's page (the first one however is kinda like a tertiary source though) i can use it to demonstrate what i wanted to : Rez please video, Lacy Jean video, Pathofcultivation video) (A council candidate differenciate white pride and white supremacy and the Huffington Post defines what white pride is) (from books : Democracy, and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics: Principled Compromises in a Compromised World (look p.61 second paragraph), Contemporary voices of white nationalim in America (look p.5))
As I said above I didn't argue at all (but i can after if needed) because I felt like all the arguements have already been said in the archives. Took me some hours so I'd appreciate to have sincere thoughts about it and/or constructed replies. Draal (talk) 13:06, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
- "Neutrality" is not a goal, WP:NPOV is. Neutrality would have us describe both sides of the claim that the Queen of England is a human-alien hybrid without stating that it is or is not true. NPOV has us state quite clearly what independent reliable sources have to say: the idea is nonsense on stilts.
- WP:NPOV and WP:V are the heart of the issue here. We are trying to summarize what independent reliable sources have to say about the idea. That's where some of your sources are falling short. An "independent reliable source" is one from a publisher with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that is independent from the subject. In the example I gave, sources close to the Queen or David Icke are not independent. Some guy on youtube does not have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.
- In your list of sources, abuse wiki is another user-created site and cannot be used as a source. That their article is different from ours likely reflects that it has been edited by fewer (and different) editors. It likely started out as a copy of our article at some point in the past.
- Enacademic is a mirror of Wikipedia. Their article is a copy of ours from some point in the past. No article on Wikipedia is ever "done". In theory at least, articles are being improved over time. What a Wikipedia article looked like one or more years ago is likely not up to our current standards. Here is where that site explains (in Russian) that the page is a copy from en.wikipedia.org.
- I'm skipping the youtube videos. Anyone can post a video. Various candidates for public office can be found making statements supporting lots of ideas, ranging from completely rational to completely crazy.
- The article from Huffington Post is not an article from Huffington Post. It is a blog (a self-published source) hosted on their domain. The blog posting is one woman's opinions.
- In Democracy, and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics: Principled Compromises in a Compromised World on page 61, I find the author discussing racial identity. I do not see him discussing "white pride" -- the slogan that is the topic of this article or as an idea (which this article is not about).
- You link to Contemporary Voices of White Nationalism in America does not have a page 5. After the table of contents, it jumps to page 87. On the fifth page of the file, the author is interviewing white supremacist Jared Taylor about his white supremacist online magazine, American Renaissance. Taylor is not an independent reliable source for anything. - SummerPhDv2.0 14:40, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
- So no reliable sources, ok my bad should have been more careful. However in Democracy, and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics: Principled Compromises in a Compromised World on page 61, i linked this source because other pride is linked with its identity (here is the exemple of black pride : "Black pride is a movement in response to dominant white cultures and ideologies that encourages black people to celebrate black culture and embrace their African heritage"). Every pride being the same imo, though they are sometimes badly used and in the case of white pride that sometimes is often.
- For the debate i have nothing more to add the discussion can be closed as far as i'm concerned.Draal (talk) 15:19, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- "Taylor is not an independent reliable source for anything." He is quoted extensively in the article about him: Jared Taylor; he is a reliable source there apparently. However he seems to be excluded from the "White pride" article entirely. On p. 103 of Contemporary voices of white nationalim in America the words "white pride" were used in a question by Russell K Nieli:
- "Many of the white nationalist or white pride publications..."
- Here the words are used synonymously with white nationalism. It also says (p 88):
- "(Jared Taylor) vigorously opposes affirmative action policies that preference racial minorities, antidiscrimination laws that restrict private associational rights, and immigration policies that are shifting the racial demographics of America away from the previous white majority."
- This is in conflict with the "Use as an identity marker" portion of the Wikipedia article, which says the words are an "appeal to a larger audience in hopes of inciting more widespread racial violence". The source makes the distinction of white pride/white nationalism dealing with political topics, not violence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomUser3510 (talk • contribs) 09:54, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
- Taylor is not an independent reliable source for anything. Independent reliable sources are "independent" of the subject and "reliable" (they have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. We cannot cite him as a source for information other than as a primary source for very basic, non-controversial information about himself: where he was born (if undisputed), siblings, that kind of stuff (see WP:PSTS).
- In an article about him, if reliable sources discuss his favorite color (or lack of color), we can quote what he said about the matter, citing a reliable source for his statement.
- Taylor is neither independent nor reliable in this article or anywhere else, other than for very basic, non-controversial information about himself. Then the questions of relevance and weight would need to be addressed. - SummerPhDv2.0 15:16, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
FAQ about "X pride"
The comparison to misogyny and misandry is completely useless. Both those articles begin with "is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against ...". Meanwhile, the "X pride" articles are all strictly about positive racialist aspects, while this article is strictly about racist connotations. This article should do a better job separating the racist slogan from racialist aspects. Nergaal (talk) 19:49, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- The comparison might be more distracting than helpful, but I think you're missing the point. "Misogyny" and "misandry" are semantically similar to each other as terms. The lede naturally reflects these similarities, but then, following reliable sources, they diverge completely, because they are articles about different things. Likewise for this article, according to sources, there is no separation from the racist slogan and it's "racialist" aspects. As racialism points out,
most dictionaries define the term racialism as synonymous with racism
making this confusing at best and euphemistic at worst. It is not fair to these topics to pedantically treat them all exactly the same just because the terms are similar. Grayfell (talk) 21:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

For the explanation of "White Pride," I think it should be more in line with other "pride" explanations such as "Black Pride,"Asian Pride," etc:
"Black pride is a movement in response to dominant white cultures and ideologies that encourages black people to celebrate black culture and embrace their African heritage.[1] In the United States, it was a direct response to white racism especially during the Civil Rights Movement.[2] Related movements include black power,[2] black nationalism,[2] Black Panthers and Afrocentrism."
Such as: White pride is a movement in response to other various cultures and ideologies that encourages them celebrate their culture and embrace their heritage. In the United States, it is a direct response to racism especially during current history (2018). There are no related movements as White individuals believe in embracing all cultures equally and do not discriminate on the basis of race.

You need to either fix this page with all the untrue racism, or make the other pride pages just as politically correct, I dont see how you can have a Black Pride page, an Asian Pride Page, and A white Pride page, and have 2 of them completely differ from the other. Black pride has its racist groups but I dont see anyone putting information on that page about racist groups, Asian pride has gangmembers and racist groups yet no one wants to put up that information on there, and then white pride you have everything from neo nazis to the kkk. The information on this page is one sided, and it can be proven wrong that "white pride" isnt all about the kkk and white supremacist groups. Please note that white pride doesn't always refer to the KKK's white pride. This page pisses me off most because the word pride shouldn't even be in the title of this article it should just be titled Racist White Pride. 2602:30A:C0E7:8B20:5104:ACB3:B428:EFC4 (talk) 21:02, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

- IMO there is undue weight towards inclusion of the white supremacy/neo-nazi beliefs, and not enough weight to the inclusion of other views. This resource Contemporary Voices of White Nationalism in America (page v) makes several distinctions of different views:
- 1. White rights advocates
- 2. White nationalism and white separatism
- 3. White Christianity
- 4. White Supremacy and Neo-Nazism
- As I said earlier on this talk page Russell K Nieli is quoted saying:
- "Many of the white nationalist or white pride publications..."
- The Wikipedia article amalgamates these distinctions to give the impression that they are all the same. However in the resource white nationalism = white pride. The article only 86 words devoted towards the white nationalism part vs the entire rest of the article, which amounts to over 900 words. Here is the white nationalism section:
- Political scientists Carol M. Swain and Russell Nieli, in their text on white nationalism, identify the idea of "white pride" as a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. They argue that over the course of the 1990s, "a new white pride, white protest, and white consciousness movement has developed in America". They identify three contributing factors: an immigrant influx during the 1980s and 1990s, resentment over affirmative action policies, and the growth of the Internet as a tool for the expression and mobilization of grievances. --RandomUser3510 (talk) 03:24, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- Since Carol M. Swain and Russell Nieli are the editors of the book you cite above, you have essentially provided a single source for this POV. Please present evidence that this viewpoint is accepted by a broad consensus of mainstream scholars, and therefore is not a WP:FRINGE viewpoint. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:30, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- The resource is included as a reference of the existing Wikipedia article. If it is fringe to say that white pride = white nationalism, the resource shouldn't be included in the first place and thus the entire section should be removed. --RandomUser3510 (talk) 03:38, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- Nope, that's not the case. It's the specific vewpoint that you wish to include that I'm questioning, not factual matters. Please provide evidence that that viewpoint is widely accepted -- it's easy as pie to show that white pride = white nationalism" is.BTW, I'll note that some of the authors of the pieces in the book you recommend are David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan; white supremacists Jared Taylor, Don Black and Matthew F. Hale; the self-described white separatist Michael H. Hart; Dan Gayman, the founder of the Christian Identity Church of Israel; and the white nationalist William Luther Pierce. Citing any of them would not be acceptable either. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:45, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- I opened the PDF to try and review your comments, and... this is about the table of contents? Oh please. What are we supposed to do with that? The part quoted in the article is not part of the PDF sample linked above. Taking a quote out of context is cherry-picking, and the full sentence was specifically about 'hostility towards Jews' as relates to Taylor. It was part of an interview question about this specific topic, and fixating on this kind of minutia is pedantic, at best, because we judge the entire source, not just the part someone found through hitting ctrl+f on part of the document.

- As with other WP:FRINGE adherents, these are not reliable sources. A source which analyzes a fringe movement might interview some of the movement's adherents, but Wikipedia cannot analyze these statements. We must allow reliable sources to form those conclusions. Picking and choosing among quotes from lengthy interviews is extremely subjective, because there are far, far too many quotes and many of them are contradictory or trivial. If a reliable source directly emphasizes a specific quote, it will do so for a reason which can be explained. If it doesn't, including the quote anyway would be cherry-picking. Grayfell (talk) 20:49, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- As with other WP:FRINGE adherents, these are not reliable sources. But they are reliable sources on the Flat Earth article, or Lenin in the Communism article, of Constitutionalism#Criticisms article, etc. Why are these obscure quotes allowed on other articles but not here? These same quote restrictions that you say are not enforced on other articles, spanning from Flat Earth or other political articles.
- We must allow reliable sources to form those conclusions That's what the resource Contemporary Voices of White Nationalism in America does. It provides an in-depth analysis on specific figures then interviews them: it isn't a contextless interview.
- Picking and choosing among quotes from lengthy interviews is extremely subjective, because there are far, far too many quotes and many of them are contradictory or trivial. This same restriction is not applied to the other articles I mentioned. Lenin, Jeremy Waldron, and the various Flat Earthers all are quoted for a specific view they have. In exactly the same way, in Contemporary Voices of White Nationalism in America they are not cherry picked quoted out of context, but go into in-depth explanations.
- I am not proposing an out of context quote from people in Contemporary Voices of White Nationalism in America but instead something from them, because the source describes them as being important figures in the movement. --RandomUser3510 (talk) 21:20, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- At a glance, I don't see any inappropriate quotes at flat earth, so I don't know, or particularly care, what quotes you're talking about elsewhere. See Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. Those articles have their own talk pages with extensive discussions to determine consensus. This page is, however, the place to talk about this article.
- The lone quote you've provided from Contemporary Voices...' isn't analyzing anything, and that solitary quote provides no depth at all. It's a cherry-picked line from an interview question. That interview is with a non-reliable person, and is a WP:PRIMARY source for information about that person. We are not obligated to provide something from unreliable fringe proponents, because that would be false balance. We are not here to provide "both sides", we are here to summarize information about this particular phrase. Grayfell (talk) 21:34, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not saying that the specific quote be used, just an example. As for not using primary sources, I can accept that, despite it being an opposite standard than for the other articles I used. I guess the secondary source analysis in the Contemporary voices of white nationalim in America can be focused on instead.--RandomUser3510 (talk) 21:48, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- The source is already used, and its conclusions about white pride are already summarized here. It appears that neither of us have access to the full source, but at a glance it doesn't appear to have a whole lot more to say. Again, this article is about the phrase white pride, not the many similar euphemisms used by white racists. Since this seems to be a common source of confusion, I'll clarify something: This source, taken as a whole, strongly appears to be just one of many which links the phrase to white supremacists. Wikipedia is based on reliable sources, not editor opinion, so undermining this connection is not appropriate. Grayfell (talk) 23:16, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

White Nationlists are coopting the "white pride" topic by showing similar Wikipedia articles on "gay pride" or "black pride" or "asian pride" etc.
This "white pride" article is offering a platform for the very white supremacists the article seems to criticize. The article should first introduce the notion that the "pride" term (added to an organized movement) is typically reserved for traditionally oppressed groups. By not explaining the 'oppression" narrative, this article is allowing those white supremacist to capitalize on the article in support of their own narrative that "white people" are being oppressed by black, or gay, or Asian peoples. The article should not be changed much at all -- other than to add this "oppression" explanation upfront and clearly state that there is nothing inherently wrong with "white pride" taking pride in their own heritage, but that to steal the term "Pride" for a group that has not been traditionally oppressed -- is a misappropriation and an attempt to undermine efforts of groups traditionally oppressed by white supremacists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.120.54.52 (talk) 21:44, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Requested discussion
This edit adds material that is completely unsourced:
"Related terms are '''White power''', used by neo-Nazi, white nationalist, white supremacist, and Ku Klux Klan (KKK) groups to express their beliefs analogous to [[Black Power|black power]], and '''Love Your Race''', a slogan originally popularized by the [[National Alliance (United States)|National Alliance]] which hss been used by some groups.<ref>Staff (ndg) [https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/love-your-race "Love Your Race"] [[Anti-Defamation League]]</ref>"
The cited source says:
"'Love Your Race' is a white supremacist slogan originally popularized by the neo-Nazi National Alliance. In white supremacist literature and fliers, the phrase is often accompanied by an idealized image of a beautiful and/or maternal white woman. It is often used as an indirect means of promoting the so-called 'Fourteen Words' slogan: 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.'"
The source does not mention "white pride" and is thus off-topic for this article. Additionally, it does not provide the link between the racist slogan, "white pride" and the unrelated, though similarly worded, concept, "black pride", the subject of substantial heat (by very little light) here. - SummerPhDv2.0 03:25, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Neutrality discussion
Hi All, I noticed this page was recently tagged for neutrality: and I agree that a discussion is necessary. This article clearly writes about White Pride with a negative overtone, while the articles Black pride, Gay pride and Asian pride have clear positive overtones. Why the negative attitude towards the white race? Political correctness, if you ask me! XP-93 (talk) 13:06, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- Reliable sources describe white pride primarily as one of many false faces white supremacists, nazis etc. use to spread their racist garbage. Wikipedia articles echo reliable sources. Get it? PeterTheFourth (talk) 13:09, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
A quick Google search showed wide variance in the notion of what white pride is. I wonder how selective the writers of this article were in their choice of sources? XP-93 (talk) 13:15, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- Please take a moment to read the FAQ that is posted at the top of this page, the numerous archives linked at the top of the page, and the multiple discussions listed above before discussing this. If you have something new to add, then please do that, but this page has gone through the cycle of "whataboutism" enough as it is. If Hymnodist.2004 fails to expand on their reasoning for adding the tag, or you fail to provide a new perspective on it, then the tag will be removed as it has been many times before. Nihlus 13:21, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
If there is still a necessity for this page to go through “whataboutism,” then clearly consensus has not been reached on this issue, especially given the sheer number of editors who are unhappy with the way this article is written. XP-93 (talk) 14:35, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- Don't confuse a loud vocal minority for a "sheer number of editors".

Sorry, I should have added context. Debate.org can be frustratingly hard to navigate. It had 20 comments, but many more unique ip addresses voted. Most people don't comment on that site, only vote. There's a few other directions you could go though. Such as the change.org petition. In all sincerity though, I wasn't trying to derail anything. It's just misleading to say vocal minority. It's technically a minority, but a large one (averaged out at around 44%). Anyway, that was my only point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.235.94 (talk) 02:42, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

In regards to white pride
There are two glaring problems with this entry.
The first is the assumption the concept of white pride is universal. The concepts in the article generally refer to the American version. The concept is quite different in many european countries, as well as in Asian and African.
The second, and possibly much more important issue, are the sources used. After studying, carefully, all sources provided I've noticed some issues. Around 90% of the sources used come from decidedly liberal, political institutions. Though many sources are in fact generally neutral, they are only quoting from a separate source. I believe this may be why, or at least I hope so. I also noticed that it seems the page actively avoids the neutral or semi-neutral accredited sources that have painted White Pride as a general term, used in some cases to promote racism, but in many others to promote pride in one's heritage. In fact, from my own research, for every source that describes White Pride as racism, another describes it as innocent pride in one's self. (I should mention as well, every "pride" movement has a racist version).
I would have added a paragraph to point this out, with the roughly 100 sources from universities, studies, etc included, but of course the page is protected. Which is something else that bothers me. White Pride seems to be the only "pride" page protected. It honestly creates the image of a political agenda. Preventing any dissenting belief, regardless of how well sourced, from being added, when other pages allow the open editing, is disturbing from a company that is supposed to be neutral in it's presentation of information. I've seen this trend for quite some time. Generally speaking, Liberal ideologies tend to permeate the site, actively silencing dissenting views, regardless of how well supported those views may be. Only in the most extreme of cases have I see a wikipedia page accurately depict certain topics in a neutral light. This isn't to cause tension, just honest criticism of the practices of the site. I easily could be wrong. Though, I find it unlikely that I am.
Take care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.235.94 (talk) 14:40, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- If you would like to make a change to a protected article without creating a user account and amassing a few edits, you can create an edit request and another user can make the change on your behalf. However, you should provide reliable sources to back up any claims you would like to add to the article. Original research is not permitted. Also, please be mindful to keep your comments on the topic of improving the article. Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing off-topic subjects such as what biases Wikipedia as a whole may be subject to. Hope that helps. --ChiveFungi (talk) 21:10, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
That actually helps quite a bit! Thank you so much for your help! I didn't even know edit requests were a thing. Also, wont be problem ^^.

Request to have the page edited
Hello, I am requesting that the article on “white pride” be edited. I would ask that the author consider that “white pride” in itself is, in this article, unfairly conflated with racist, supremacist beliefs; other articles such as “Asian pride” and “Black pride” have a positive tone to them. One of the author’s previous responses to such a request was that white pride was a defense of colonialism and other bloodbaths. However, pride in one’s race does not nessecary signify a defense of violence. All the races should be treated with equal regards and respect, and I and many others believe that this article is unfair and in need of editing. Thank you for your understanding and please consider my request. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FlowUrbano (talk • contribs) 03:14, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
- Please see the FAQ at the top of the page. You may also find White people#Modern racial hierarchies informative. The term "white race" started being used in the 17th century specifically because of slavery. When people say "black", they are usually talking about something very different, so comparing these two things is misleading. Be proud of yourself and your heritage, be it Spanish, Black, Puerto Rican, Latvian, Czech or whatever. When you say "white pride" you're just using a term invented by neo-Nazis to rustle jimmies. Grayfell (talk) 04:45, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
When you say "white pride" you're just using a term invented by neo-Nazis to rustle jimmies.
Of course, that is your OPINION. It is my opinion that pride movements glorifying other races besides white are also indicative of racist sentiment by the same token, no equivocation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.215.156.9 (talk) 06:38, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- We pointedly do not say the phrase is "bad". We say what reliable sources say. It is "an expression primarily used by white separatist, white nationalist, neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations in order to signal racist or racialist viewpoints." Do many people think white supremecists, etc. and their racist viewpoints are "bad"? Sure, but that's not relevant here. If reliable sources said that about black pride, etc., you might have a point. They don't so you don't. - SummerPhDv2.0 17:57, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

why dont you define this the same way you do black pride and gay pride and every other king of pride. seems like you are the bigot against white people! 2603:3003:1500:6F0:582C:E4DD:B2F8:4A14 (talk) 21:47, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
@DannyS712: well every other race is allowed to have pride such as black pride, gay pride, asian pride etc. by sourcing radical left wing studies that baldly assert that white pride is somehow racist as opposed to any other expression of pride comes across as pretty biased. how about something common sense and plainly written, like: "White pride is a movement in response to the developments of the anti-white movement and ideologies, that encourages white people to celebrate their heritage. Pride, as opposed to shame and social stigma, is the predominant outlook that people of all colors should enjoy, even white people.96.246.155.171 (talk) 02:46, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
@Grayfell: The FAQ just doubles down on the double standard, this source that was cited (2, specifically) simply baldly asserts that the conscious pursuit and celebration of whiteness is explicitly racist, with no further justification. This statement would work fine if whiteness was substituted with blackness, why is it explicitly racist? the writer of this source doesn't even feel the need to explain that. I think its a bad source, The other source (3) is a book as well, I guess I would have to track it down and buy it in order to see if it makes a fair argument or not, I wonder who is Sarah Van McVey and why does this source carry so much weight though? Again, not a very good source.96.246.155.171 (talk) 03:04, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
@Grayfell:Is it not possible for a white person to be proud of their heritage without being racist? Surely we can find a way to express that without invoking some term used by a hate group at some point in history.96.246.155.171 (talk) 04:10, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
@Beyond My Ken:This isn't about me. There is no necessity in any of the other articles for people of any other race or creed to narrow ones heritage down to a specific country, why is it a requirement for whites? Generally I think all those racist things are more associated with "white power" than white pride, but if those two words are so tainted as to be unusable, lets give it a different title, it doesn't matter as long as the message is the same.96.246.155.171 (talk) 05:05, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Misleading
This page is part of the movement to DECREASE discrimination! It is evident that this article is written with a clear bias that does not reflect the spectrum of meanings of "White Pride." In this case, the article portrays having White Pride as a racist activity and unfairly construes white people as racist. While, of course, racism should be included in this article, it should also discuss the celebration of being a white person. I am a white male and I do have pride in my heritage and genetic history. While "Black Pride," "Gay Pride," and "Asian Pride" all discuss the celebration of the race/idea, "White Pride" is the only article that condemns those who practice it. I ask that an Administrator or more experienced user take action to correct this article rather than have it contain a racist, discriminatory, and misleading set of information that poorly reflects on the Wikipedia community. While the FAQ simply uses "reliable sources" as the excuse, it isn't fair to assume that the majority is correct. Instead of solely focusing on a small score of reliable sources, include ALL opinions that can be found from reliable sources which would show the celebration of white heritage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jefrafra (talk • contribs) 20:49, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

- @Jefrafra: "Black pride" and "Gay pride" were reactions to historical oppression. White people aren't being oppressed, so that excuse goes out the window.

White pride, is a expression primarily used by white nationalist, that take pride in being white. White Power has been associated with neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations in order to signal racist or racialist viewpoints.[2][3] It is also a slogan used by the prominent post-Ku Klux Klan group Storm front and a term used to make racist/racialist viewpoints more palatable to the general public who may associate historical abuses with the terms "white Power", "neo-Nazi", and "white supremacist". But not all white nationalist have this view point. Recon16g (talk) 12:35, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Here is an article that presents a broader view of the phrase, and relates it to the Alt Right
- "calls among many alt-righters for white Americans to regain a sense of racial identity and “white pride” is effectively a rebellion against neoliberal market forces that erode tribal loyalties, national bound-aries, and cultural uniqueness by encouraging open borders, multiculturalism, and individualistic forms of agency associated with competition and consumerism"

OK to be white
The link to the "It's OK to be white" page denotes it as an alt-right slogan, when the page itself points out its origin and continued use as social artwork (similar to, as an example, Martin Firrell's works). Really, it's just an unnecessary addition to the link (and the only link with extra text), unless there's some other "It's OK to be white" page that requires it to be differentiated in some way. I suggest removing the extraneous text.73.98.155.8 (talk) 02:56, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- No. As that article explains, "It's OK to be white" was coined by a white power music group, later popularized via 4chan, and has been most frequently associated with white supremacist trolls and overt neo-Nazis. Summarizing this by saying it's an alt-right slogan is entirely appropriate. Grayfell (talk) 03:19, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
