Have you ever been proud of your race?

I saw a few people say that they were "ashamed" to be white this week.

Don't really get it. We're all born the way we're born. To put a value on your own skin color, whether negative or positive, just perpetuates the idea that skin color is some sort of defining & important thing, and something we should take into account when assessing others.

I'd be ashamed of something real like being an American citizen, until this monstrous wickedness is corrected.
 
Im ashamed of some of my fellow Americans.

I deeply believe in the real justice in the hearts of the majority in this country.

I am absolutely not ashamed of being an American. This country has been party to some things that were shameful in its past, the most recent for me being the War in Iraq ... But I haven't ever been "ashamed" of being an American.

So many Americans have won the world's admiration by fighting for decency against the racists. Good luck!

She's trying to be clever and reference the Bible (which I'm pretty sure she doesn't believe in) talking about pointing out the faults of others while you have faults of your own.

Specifically - Matthew 7:3-5 - And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, “ Let me remove the speck from your eye ’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

I'm sure desh's eyes are pretty clear since she's been preaching non-stop since Saturday pointing out the faults of all who might be right of ... I don know ... Her maybe.

I expected some strange things on the board today, but if someone had told me this morning that I'd need a Bible expert to figure out one of desh's posts, I might not have believed it.

Thanks for the insight on that one...

Thank you for the translation. I already acknowledged in a post to iolo that America has racial problems yesterday. I'm not going to say I'm not proud to be an American though. Fvck that. And as I posted yesterday Whales has all kinds of racial issues of their own. The whole glass houses thing.
 
I'm not proud of it, except for the fact I made it thru the birth canal..since being born was all I did to be a white guy..

Interesting thing is that the one juroro who is not speaking out said their votes all ranged in punishment for zimmy.

they said the law they were read made it so they could not do anything but let him go.

they are blaming the why the laws are written in fl.


be proud cons be very proud.

fl convicts a black woman for discharging a gun to protect herself to 20 years.

Zimmy discharged a gun into a teenagers chest and he gets off scott free

She is the wife of a lawyer and is writing a book. Scandalous, probably couldn't wait to get out of the room to start making money off this tragedy!

Legion Troll is a busy little poster, I believe he has groaned or thanked every post that has been made once he showed up. If he isn't Yurt he has OCD like Yurt, lol
