You ever notice when people talk about being “proud” that proud=not ashamed=something I should be ashamed of but fuck you? Proud texan, proud southerner, proud to be white, etc.
Just because you shouldn’t feel proud of something doesn’t mean you should be ashamed of it, and I don’t think they’re implying one should be. I’m not proud that I have a nose, but I’m not ashamed I do either; I just have one.
They are responding to someone who literally said they should be ashamed though. And one of the examples was being white. The blatant racism is disgusting.
I agree. Its equally as absurd to be proud of where youre from. You should be proud of achievements. You didnt achieve being a certain race or being born in a certain country etc. You ran a marathon, good for you, you should be proud. Thats kinda my point people tend to be proud of things they shouldnt.

Can’t say that any of those things you listed someone should be ashamed of, but maybe not proud of them either.
Fwiw, Trump either genuinely believes he’s done nothing wrong, or he needs his fans to believe it, so him saying this kinda tracks.
I guess there’s a reason pride is a deadly sin
I get your point but I don’t think anyone should be ashamed where they’re from, per se. I have no power over where I’m born.

I also have a nose! Cheers!

I’m not ashamed that I was born in a backwards, bible-thumping, right-wing hellhole. But, I am ashamed of how backwards and idiotic my home state is.

This is literally the only reason he didn’t use “strongly”.
Does that mean you can’t be proud to be black, proud to be gay etc as well?
