Pride In Ones Race

[Metzli]

Do you guys think that it is wrong to be proud of being your own Race? This was brought up in My sociology class today... the lecturer said something like...
"people who gather within their own race, are internalizing themselves" Blah
and some other B.S. I mean.. I am VERY proud to be a Chicana, but does that mean that I am internalizing myself with my own people??? And there are Orgs. On campus that are for specific Ethnic groups but are not limited to that specifid group. I'm in an Student Org. Called MEChA and they have taken a lot of heat for being a supposed "extremist" and we've been called the Brown KKK, and there have been Campaigns speifically to shut our org down.. The UCLA Republicans to be specific..UCLA...... I know that this is kinda outdated... But the Issue still stands.. IS it WRONG for one to be extreme about their Race?? What about the New Black Panther Party?? Have they gone too Extreme???

and while we all know of these... The KKK? (not to mention they have committed dozens of hate Crimes)

When should it stop?


I don't know.. too much on my mind..


Does this belong in Anything goes??
