What does it mean to be to be proud of being Black, White, Indian, American, or Female? Ask yourself what did you DO to be Black, White, Indian, American, or Female. I can understand being proud of what your race, culture, or sex has accomplished, or even what you personally have accomplished, proud to be a Doctor, proud to have served in the military, proud to have achieved success in (whatever). All those things you had a choice in. I am a white American male, none of which I had any part of, it happened that way. I am proud of America and what it stands for, I am proud of what males have accomplished, I am proud white people have made some valuable accomplishments to humanity. There are some American white males that are the scum of the earth, so just because I happen to fall into a group does it make me proud? If so let me be the first to say I am PROUD to be a BREATHER! I can breathe …. BREATHEPOWER!! (whoa, maybe a little mouthwash is in order). More power to those who can breathe!!
