I don't understand. Why do people say they are "Proud to be..."? Isn't it a given? You should be proud. Why say it? I always get the feeling it's an "I'm BETTER THAN YOU!" saying. Regardless of who uses it, even if it's an american saying I'm proud to be American, it's lame.
And why is it ok for a black person to say "Black Power!" but if a white person says "White Power!" it's racist? They both have the same meaning just different race. How about no one say it either way? :confused: You can argue with me all day about the way it's used, they are used in the same manner, one just may be concealed and the other a bit more obvious.
Ah yeah and I dont want a flame war, I just REALLY am curious.
