re: #356 Franklin

I don’t get why one would be proud to be white. I’m proud to be a dad. I can see how a black person would be proud to be black because of how much adversity their people had to overcome. But I can’t see a reason to be proud of being white.

Maybe what they don’t get is that proud isn’t a binary classification of “proud” or “ashamed”. I’m not ashamed to be white, I just don’t have a sense of pride about it.

I think the pride comes from thinking that white people are the ancestors of the creators of Western Civilization.

There is a whole lot of generalizations in that.
