If national pride is only available to you when things go your way then I think you have missed the entire point of an American nation.
Were black Americans wrong not to be proud of their country back in the 1920's?
Oh you did not just go there.

Black people were oppressed almost a hundred years ago. There are very few people still alive that were there to see it...when will people let it go?

If it was used in a positive way, I wouldn't so much care, but black people only use it as a "poor me" excuse for why us white people should give them our money. Just drop it. White people treated black people very badly a hundred years ago. How long are you going to hide behind it?

Maybe you are not a black person, but you sound like one. I hope you aren't offended, but if you are, oh well.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
