Americans, which is the worst part of your country which causes you embarrassment?
Is it Texas?

New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, California. More specifically, NYC, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Sacramento, and New Jersey. Bastions of violence, poverty, disease, drugs, civil unrest, depravity, perversion, and human suffering, where audacious elite leftists virtue signal about social justice, while their victims shoot up and defecate in their streets.

@puck61 I hate violence and guns! I I love people! If we love violent movies and protect ourselves with guns instead of trusting in God and loving our enemies you don't God will be so furious? And you don't think he won't let our kids die of violence??? Well then you need to get back to the Bible and read what he says!

I've never been to Texas, but my understanding is that it's a richly diverse state with a booming economy and a loving populace. Not without cultural and political flaws, but the good outweighs the bad. The most embarrassing part of my country is, and likely always will be, Washington D.C..

Racism and The uncaring for the poor and refugees! People here don't want to increase the spending for the homeless and mentally ill! Instead they prefer them to be on the street, and parks! Well God doesn't want us to ignore the poor so what goes around comes around for them!

Before a black president maybe?

1- I am the resident godless heathen , no seriously...
See my string activity, or ask Carazaa.
2- ”You sound like a Pharisee. ”
Admittedly is a great line. Apologies, I didn’t know the reference point

Parts of the country experiencing abject poverty. The life expectancy of men on the Pine Ridge reservation is about that of men in the third world in Haiti. Sections of the South deep in generational poverty. Parts of the Appalachians with not only endemic poverty but opioid addiction. Inner cities that are war zones. It's an embarrassment as we've been full of shit about doing anything about them. Resources to do so are squandered, wasted. Misappropriated. Then cut for being ineffective, when the work has often never started.

@CopperCicada I just made a large donation, (for me), to St. Joseph's School near Pine Ridge. My cousin adopted a little boy from there because both of his parents had died, and his grandmother could no longer take care of him. He returned to the rez when he was grown, (which is full of gangs), got involved with a gang and is now in jail.
It breaks your heart. But the truth is there are some places that can't break free of the toxic cycle in which they find themselves, due to location, jobs, misappropriation of funds, or laws still on the books.

It is people like you...who are not just alive and well in America, but everywhere.
Edited to add:
I am not embarrassed by these people... I don't place myself in the same category..just because I live here with idiots doesn't mean I am an idiot.
But hey..whatever floats your boat
