I would assume it's just like "hooray, black people"? Nothing wrong with that unless the message has somehow been twisted into something like black supremacy.

This is literally all it takes. Though if you ever have to do this comparison in the first place, you're already kinda racist anyway.

Black excellence is celebrating the success of Black people. It is not taking away from the success of other people, it is simply expressing joy for the success of Black people.

Do white people get attacked for being successful and studying by their own people? Do they get attacked or held back for not adhering to a certain way theyre supposed to be? No. But many black people do. So people started saying #BlackExcellence as a way to empower those people and encourage them to keep doing better.

Its a positive message but of course you guys want to try and bring it down and make it into a negative one for a absolutely no reason at all.

Interestingly enough, this is one way the community is trying to help their own community. By showing positive images of their community. Whats funny is the people who think its racist are probably the ones who are quick to say what about black on black crime?! Why dont they do anything about that?!...they are..and for some reason it bothers them too lol

That's sort of backwards. There's nothing wrong with the idea of "white pride" or "black pride" (beyond how some groups might use the word pride), so people saying "white excellence" is racist would not make "black excellence" racist. It means the people claiming "white excellence is racist" are the actual racists.

Unless there is some other context to this term I'm not seeing.

Partly yes. What point are you trying to make? People within a culture face different problems from their own people. It doesnt mean there arent also outside factors that can be discussed.

No, it's not. Now if you interpreted that to mean that I think all the white people here are supremacists, that would be disingenuous.

On paper, yes. HOWEVER, that would totally be ignoring the whole reason for the hash tag. It's the fact that White people and their successes are constantly being acknowledged. Look at history books.

Why don't CE ever understand this. Celebrating being White has a negative condonation on it. You can celebrate being Italian, Jewish, Irish, French or any of that and it ain't racist.

I'll never understand people that constantly say that black folks need to fix their own problems, then when black people do stuff specifically to help the black community, they get triggered about it.
