I feel that if you had no control over something, you shouldn't have pride when it comes to that subject. CMV.

I see these celebrations that happen all the time, whether it be puerto rican day parade, Gay pride, Black pride, people cheering the sports team from their country, what ever the case may be. I feel that these are completely unnecessary and in some cases offensive. It feels hypocritical in the sense that it would sound absurd for a white pride parade or a heterosexual pride parade to be a norm.

I understand things like veterans being proud of serving their country or a hypothetical group that has just changed laws concerning unjust laws being prideful, they actually did something. People celebrating because they happen to be born in a certain country or because they were born a certain sexuality is absurd.

Some of the examples of "pride" you point to aren't really examples of being proud of something you had no control over. 

In each of those cases, people have been made to feel *shame* for things that they have no control over, time and time again.

Surely if you honestly feel pride is unjustified for these things, you'd have to agree that it's wrong that people are shamed for things that they can't control, right? Because the statements are logically equivalent. 

"Gay pride" is really better understood as "refuting gay shame". It's just clearer not to speak in double negatives (/irony).
