You didn't answer my questions: Is it impossible that white pride is a "look at what European civilization has achieved through the arts and the sciences" sentiment? Is it similarly impossible that black pride is just as capable as enforcing a "we are better than you" mentality?

Additionally, is black pride incapable of reinforcing a resentment or hatred for whites?

Considering that for the majority of white pride is about white supremacy (based on the common definition and who participates), and the vast majority of black pride is not about black supremacy I feel like if you want to talk about white pride but don't want people to assume you are a white supremacist then you have to have a separate subdivision.  Say something like "I have white pride, but not the kind the KKK have that most people think of when you say white pride".  But if all you do is say "I have white pride, oh you think it's the kind like the KKK does well you're the racist really!" then you're just being a contrarian asshole.  It's disingenuous to use the term white pride and ignore it's common definition to substitute your own, and then be angry at people who assume you were meaning the common definition.  This is how I see this white pride argument used by alt right guys and its infuriatingly dishonest.  

Sorry to break your bubble... but I had countless conversations (some with friends) that basically condemened any pride on being white, male, straight, successfull or any other thing hated by progressist because neither of those were struggles or things they had any sympathy with. So it isn't a matter of explaining it is a pride on your background, achievements or family, because they will use the "just because it happens to you it doesn't deny that ....''.

Or even the famous "there isn't reverse racism, mysandry, heterophobia'', etc... because you are in a place of power... even if the person that is insulting you is a lesbian, black and fat CEO and you are a white, straight male janitor. They will use group judgement whenever possible to try and make you the wrong one.
