but.. at the same time, i can't really pretend to care. if soem folks want to celebrate national cracker week, the more power to em.
i'm white. i feel no remorse in it, nor do i feel any particular pride in being white. it just is. i don't see haveing pride in soemthing that i had no control over.
i have kids. 2. they are pretty darn good kids. they're smart, kind, helpful and generous. they mind, and relatively good with manners and such. they are independant and like me, they are stong on thinking for themselves instead of just accepting what is told to them as fact.
THAT is something i'm proud of, because i had a hand in it.
but proud of what color you are? that's just as silly as hating someone because they are a different color.
or being proud of where you were born, as if it were a choice you made.
American by birth, southern because this is where my parents lived
