I can't find why is a problem of being prideful of being white/black/yellow or purple.

I don't think full of pride is the issue, the issue is full of hate, which in the end, results in full of bullet, full of knife or full of bayonet! Of course the US soldiers are embarcing racism, with characters like Cheney on the block, who is one step away form the white hood fitters, it was always going to happen. Bush reinforced a white supremecy mandate, he just treated blacks in the military as token whites, as if they had cleansed their soul in pledging allegiance. The US, under pressure from an enemy abroad, circled the wagons, and shot at anything and anybody who was outside, the drawback was that those outside, had a whole lot of nationalities and colours, so the US looked more and more isolated. But you train an army to fight, and if they were brought up in the circle, then everything outside is the enemy. The other nationalities are outside, hence the rooted racism. Then in the end when the circle goes, but the racism doesn't, the enemy is all around, on every street corner, in every shop, on every bus... Then you realsie you have honed and cultured racism to a level where it permeates completely the fabric of society. Put a million soldiers like this on the streets, with no jobs and past racist training, and guesss what will happen!

Of course, the SPLC, ADL, and other racist, anti-white groups have no problem with black and Hispanic gang members joining the army to learn combat and weaponry skills. I guess non-white racists and criminals are kosher.

When evaluating information one should have a look at the source. The "Southern Poverty Law Center" seems to be the opposite of a trustworthy source. According to an article of the "Baltimore Sun" on December 3, 2008: "the Southern Poverty Law Center is a thriving business. The Alabama-based "nonprofit" firm has become a font of riches for founder Morris Dees and his associates. Its last tax return (2005) showed it took in nearly $111 million in donations the previous four years alone and reported assets of $189.4 million at the end of 2005. "Hate crimes," as trumpeted by the likes of the Southern Poverty Law Center, are a questionable legal construct used almost exclusively against whites. Hateful or not, interracial violent crime is overwhelmingly black on white or black on Asian. The Department of Justice's figures show that between 2001 and 2003, blacks were 39 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than the reverse. Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent. You won't hear about that from the Southern Poverty Law Center or see it on the evening newscasts, because the truth is one thing and the liberal agenda is another. "
