It would be like whites celebrating their 'whiteness'. Considering that even the person's who want to organize this are doing it to get back at gays for having so-called privileges that straight people don't, I think it's safe to say this will be the most homophobic event of the year.

It's a double standard if you word it like that. The idea of white people celebrating their identity would be laughable in our 'western' world but yet we do allow black people to celebrate their identity. 

Although I do agree that a parade of this nature just seems a bit pointless and the reasons for having it are wrong.

Because black people were enslaved and degraded for centuries in this western world. They were made to believe that bacause they're black they're worth less than whites, and that they're not even actual humans. White people do not need to be reminded of their histury and 'achievements' through a special event, when they're essentially the mainstream.
