Down With Pride!

Down with pride!
Why would anyone want to be proud of anything? Haven’t we learned pride precedes conflict?
Why should I be proud of being a white man, an accident of birth? Why should anyone be
proud of their race or color or religion? All these things say “My (whatever it is) is better than
yours. That is divisiveness and conflict.
The proper attitude is to feel a certain satisfaction with something you have done.
I’m coming into this a lot lately due to racial tensions in this country. If you demand I call you an
African-American (for example) or an Asian-American or whatever hyphenated American, then I
demand you call me a North-Western-European-American. Isn’t this competitive? Isn’t this us/
them? How about: we are all Americans? Period. Isn’t that better?
Down with pride. It separates us from us. That separation is something we’ve already got in
too many places in this country. Pride is one we can easily get rid of.

The 14th Amendment

Anyone who says they want to change the 14th amendment is lying to you in an effort to get your votes. They know it's near impossible to change the constitution. Watch. If any of these people win an election, you won't hear one more word from them about it. You watch.
