White pride is a loaded term. How about white self-respect?
“I, a white man, respect myself and my kind enough to say that I’m sick and tired of hearing that all the evils in the world are my fault and that I have to bend over for every non-white who wants a free piece of what I’ve worked my ass off to get. So from now on, I’m focusing on my own welfare, and that of other whites. If that makes me racist, then so be it.”
That’s not “Rah rah rah I AM WHITE HEAR ME ROAR!” It’s “I’m white, and I’m going to defend my interests, in the same way that blacks, Hispanics, and Asians defend their interests.”
* “Nazis almost never thought about Subsaharan Africans at all.”
They did consider them as racially inferior though, and there were some movies with colonial themes that depicted Africans as savages. France’s use of coloured troops during the Ruhr occupation of the 1920s was also considered as especially humiliating, and Hitler wrote about this in “Mein Kampf” (only skimmed through it once for a few minutes, but IIRC he also claimed that France was “negroizing” rapidly – of course for him the Jews were behind it). And there were some cases of blacks living in Europe during the 1940s who were unfortunate enough to end up in concentration camps and were murdered there (I think I even read once about some black American engineer from Chicago who had married a German woman and was murdered in Auschwitz; there are also recent studies claiming that German troops, especially the Waffen-SS, killed large numbers of the French’s black troops in 1940 out of racism, though this might be exaggerated somewhat). So no doubt that the Nazis were anti-black racists. But I think you’re right however that it was much less prominent as a theme than antisemitism and racism against Eastern Europeans.
But the morality play that’s going on in Germany today has very little to do anyway in my opinion with any serious “lessons” drawn from the 1940s…what is totally baffling to me is the extreme amount of Islamophilia on display. The closest equivalents today to victims of Nazism are the various non-Islamic minorities like Christians, Yazidis or other heterodox groups whom the Islamists want to subjugate or genocide…but there is very little real concern about the specific fate of those groups in Germany as far as I can tell. Instead we hear endless lectures about the glories of Islam (which has nothing to do with Islamism). That’s just bizarre.
