- Pride and honor in what? Destroying the native inhabitants of this country
- when we first arrived? Killing Native American people and culture?
- Or is it pride in embracing the institution of slavery for so many years and
- treating people as property because of the color of their skin?
- Or is it perhaps the pride and honor in discriminating for years against
- the people we "freed"?

- I find it impossible to define "black" and "white" culture. Culture is
- an amalgamation of many things, and blacks and whites both have
- many different cultures. What do you mean by "expressing culture?"
- It seems to me you're using "white culture" as an excuse to justify racism.

-
- Ignorant by socialization. To be proud of something so trivial as skin color
- shows how little you have accomplished in your life that you can be proud of.
