Are you proud to be a member of your country?

@Budwick I was born in the US, but not proud of the history.

@SW-User That's what I thought.
Everyone has a past.
Try to be part of a brighter future.

@Budwick

I can get you a hose to rinse the blood on your shoes.

Bright future my ass.

@SW-User There's a lot to be proud of too. I basically agree with you, but I think people can disagree.

@SW-User Pretend tough guy.
predictable.

@originnone sure, just don’t ignore the reality of how we got here.

Facts are damned stubborn things. Opinions are great though.

@SW-User I agree with you....I also think there are some great things that have happened in America....MLK, storming normandy, I could name dozens, but the blood on our hands is unclean able.

@Budwick nope , just a realist..

@SW-User I drove my Honda.

And you?

@Budwick they still let you drive?

@SW-User Oh, stop....we all get there....

@originnone We've got some history. Some of it dark and sad.
I don't know why some want to try and erase it.
SO, be part of a better future.
Nothing will change what ever it is you are pissed about.

@SW-User Yup - and I think I'm done with your condescending ass.

@Budwick I'm not angry. I took a class in African American history and have been studying it for a few years now....If you don't feel some shame after that, you don't have a soul.....strike that...I don't believe I have a soul...but you get my point.

@originnone I am giving what I am getting.

@originnone his response should be earth interesting.

@originnone Yeah - a sad part of pour past.
We even had a war to get it resolved.
The good guys won and it's been getting better ever since.

I have nothing to be ashamed of.

@Budwick Jim Crow laws were better?

Lynchings were better? Voter literacy tests were better? Internment camps were better?

@SW-User In fairness, I think the answer is a solid yes,....but you made your point....

@SW-User Current law and honest enforcement in todays world.

@Budwick where is that happening?

@SW-User America.

@Budwick in your town of 1200 people and 2000 cows.

@SW-User You got a problem with small town America?

@Budwick I grew up in a small town in Indiana - famous for having lynched black men trying to make it to freedom.
