Not really. Race is something you're born with, it isn't an accomplishment that you should be proud of, so the concept of racial pride has always eluded me.

Not ashamed of it, but not proud of it either.

It's pointless to be proud of something that didn't have to be earned. Race isn't an accomplishment, it's simply a part of one's inborn identity.

I guess me having actual accomplishments makes it so that I don't need to be proud of something I have no control over like my race.

I'm proud of my accomplishments in life, don't really understand why I'd be proud of my race. It's just a part of me.


Well there's people like @KingCrabCake who have no accomplishments so they need something to be proud of

Same. This is also why patriotism hasn't struck a chord with me.

I'm not proud or ashamed, I don't really care about it and I don't even think about it unless its brought up by someone else. Any good or bad things my race as a whole has done has nothing to do with me. Hell, any good or bad my own father has done has nothing to do with me, let alone people of the past that had no relation to me other than skin color.

And I don't care about other people just because they have the same skin color as me either, I've never understood that. Or at least caring more than if they weren't.

How about you work on your reading skills and not get so defensive. And take a shower, you're starting to reek.

So much of who I am has developed from knowing I'm different and managing society's expectations and projections of me, with those of my family, with what I want for myself. That conflict has made me a a more thoughtful and complete person. I wouldn't change who I am for anything.
