I am proud to be agnostic on REALITY questions. That does not mean I am not proud to be an American. Frankly, I am more proud to be a human on planet Earth...than to be an American.
There are all sorts of things to take pride in. Excessive pride in things like "being an American (or any other nationality) is horseshit. It is the reason Samuel Johnson opined, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
Harris IS "proud" she is black. I am sure she is "proud" that she is a woman; "proud" that she is serving her state; "proud that she is serving her country"; and "proud" that she is serving humanity."
