Although my eyes are blue and my skin is quite fair I am not a member of the white "race" because the white race is an imaginary construction. Like all Americans, I am a "mutt" having many "ethnicities." Gay pride, for example, exists because people who identify as glbtq have been shamed and denigrated as outsiders and not full members of society deserving protection and equality before the law. Their pride originates in their self-recognition as a class of people which has been formally discriminated against and who must choose to value themselves because society has told them they are less than full citizens. If  white people are feeling devalued because they are poor, underpaid, out of work, etc. they can join with other groups in society experiencing the same problems but they are not being discriminated against on the basis of skin color but rather economic class. "White pride" is a cover for narratives of white victimization--a proxy for white supremacy.
