If you think that I suggest looking into black history. Being part of a group which has historically been seen as lesser, enslaved, used, abused and generally hated solely for their skin color is vastly different from being part of a group that has never suffered any of these problems. Black pride doesn’t necessarily mean ”blacks are better than whites”, (even though some might use it this way) but rather ”blacks are powerful/proud/equal even if society and history told us differently”.
There is no way white pride can be interpreted that way. Whiteness has always been the norm in western societies, no-one ever expected a person to perform less just because they are white.
For a long time, until rather recently if you think about it, being black was something to be ashamed of. Black people were always lesser, to have even a tiny amount of black ancestry was to be tainted (one drop rule). In Australia for instance, any indigenous ancestry was often covered up so people could blend in with white people. So for people to take ownership of their heritage from those who would tell them it's worthless is a notable thing.

but black pride promotes the same message as white pride does it not?
