Suppose four different people were to say or write these statements, eg. in social media or some other platform, and get a lot of visibility:
Person 1: "I'm proud of being black, and of my race, and I think white people are the most destructive force in the world."
Person 2: "I'm proud of being Hispanic, and I hate white people."
Person 3: "I'm proud of being Asian, and I think all white people should kill themselves."
Person 4: "There's nothing wrong in being white. All people should be treated equally as individuals."
Only one of those statements would cause outrage and accusations of racism. Rather obviously, the last one.
We have become a society where, if you are not ashamed of being white, if you are not constantly living in guilt and expressing it, and if you dare to express that there's nothing wrong with being white, you will be accused of racism and "white supremacy". If you do not think that the white race is an inferior species of subhumans, then you are a racist.
If four people write those statements in a major social media platform, the likelihood is very high that only the last one will receive some kind of infraction. The others will most probably not. If a sufficiently famous person writes that, or someone who for some reason gets a lot of visibility for having said or written that, that person is very probably going to be the target of an absolutely massive harassment campaign, and may even get into major newspapers (as has been demonstrated time and again, with numerous examples very similar to that.) You don't even need to state anything hateful about anybody else; the only thing that's needed is to express that maybe white people aren't as bad, and that they are as ok as anybody else. That's sufficient. (You will, of course, still be accused of having expressed hate towards other people. By some weird twisted logic.)
None of the other three people will suffer of any major consequences. At the very most their post might perhaps be removed by the platform, but probably not even that. There will be no other consequences to them.
And heaven forbid if someone were to write something similar to those other people, but showing pride in being white instead of any other race. That would really cause a shitstorm, if it catches the eye of the media or a large enough group of fanatics. White people are the only people in the world who cannot express any sort of pride about their race. Or even consider it anything else than an absolutely shameful thing to be. Somehow, by some twisted logic, if you don't consider white people to be subhuman scum, you are a racist. Because this is bizarro world, where everything is reversed, and not being a racist is racism.
