I went and got a quick bite to eat an hour ago and while in line I noticed "Brown Pride" tattooed on the back of some guys head. His description is as follows.... 5'1"-5'3" tall 135-145 lbs short black cropped hair faded in the back so the "Brown Pride" tattoo could be seen. The tattoo looked like a jail or a homemade tattoo one of his barrio buddies gave him. What do you guys think of this? If a guy had "White Pride" tattooed on the back of his head, my guess is that would cause more of a stir than some punk with "Brown Prided" tattooed on his head. Who gets head tattoos any way? Besides rock legends who can pull that look off and have the money to do so. Discuss...?

Color is unimportant, however certain groups, blacks, whites, Hispanics have created stereotypes that while not true to the individual are at least 80% true for the group as a whole. I think this fits under the whole, blacks calling themselves " (derogatory term for a person of color) " when its wrong for us to have done so years ago and still today. Its a double standard that won't ever go away. To wrap up, its wrong, he knows it and there is nothing you can do.

As stated before, color is unimportant... but you are right- if it were a "White Pride" tattoo, it would be looked at in a far more inappropriate light. I have to say, I've never understood why racist acts only involve every other color, but white people. When something happens to us... it's not considered racism. *Edit* Love to see what happens with the above argument when WE'RE the minority, and others are still claiming we're the racist ones!

He's a scrawny little racist prick, it sounds like, just like anyone who puts color above character.

I don't mean to sound stupid, but did it literally say brown pride, or are you PCing it.

Im the whitest guy I know within about a roughly a 5 mile radius in all directions where I live. I see tons of tattoos on a daily basis. This was the first brown pride tattoo head tattoo I've ever seen. I wasn't offended by it. It just irked me more than anything. It looked horrible.

Well it's typically a tattoo seen on Mexican gangsters and whatnot, hence the "brown". I lived half my life in a pretty ghetto area with plenty of dumb guys like this and saw clothes as well as tats of "Brown Pride" .

Man I hate people who think that the roulette wheel that landed their consciousness in a specific race and culture is anything to be proud of.
Accomplish something, be proud of that... but statistical probabilities, come on now.
