      Maybe it's because I don't talk to many people, but I've never seen anyone hate on a black person for enjoying their blackness. Even with people that I know were racist, I saw that interacting with highly self loving black people would seem to put the racist people in a nice groove. But maybe it was mostly amicability, I'm not sure.

      Not saying that hate on black people's self-love doesn't happen. Now that you say it, I definitely believe it does. Just saying it's strange to me that this is a real thing. Having pride in your ethnicity is respectable.

        I've seen it all the time. Hell I don't just mean the backlash to black folks being more than caricatures in television or just standing up for emselves. I've seen it especially towards BW. When some show confidence in themselves they're seen as arrogance or something to that effect. That is a double whammy with misogyny. Hell a lot of racism is designed to erode your sense of self and self worth and you can gain self hate or internalised racism. So even if it isn't direct it will still attack it. Hell look at how Chinese showing a sense of pride for what they've overcome gets called? Han supremacy by westerners. Self love can lead to knowledge of self and eventually preservation measures if a system is against your kind

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_chauvinism I'm thinking this is part of where they get it from.
