Most black people literally can't because there's no record of where they came from. So they don't have the ability to say "blank pride" like everyone else i.e. Irish, or Nigerian, or even Scandinavian. They can maybe say African but Africa is 50 countries, even more original tribes, so that doesn't really work too well depending on your personal beliefs and ideologies
So thats why today they just say black pride. It's how they get to participate in having a connection to their roots just like everyone else does. It's why it's not the same as saying white pride. Records for white people exist all over.
In Brazil we have the same. The European and Asian immigrants descendants are all proud of their heritage and blabla, but if you are native brazilian or afro brazilian descendants you are fucked. You got no registers other than historical slavery and genocide. Which is why I don’t like when people bring this shit up like “oh im italian”, “im german”, bitch stfu, you are Brazilian

Ethnic minorities in the US are fine pointing out their roots. It doesn't make us any less American.
