And on the flipside, what's the deal with being proud of one's race? I didn't do a goddamned thing to be white, and my brother-in-law didn't do a goddamned thing to be black .... but were supposed to be "proud"?
That's some stupid shit.

Becoming the kind of person that would cause people to feel pride on your behalf is ultimately more satisfying. Being successful enough that you don't give a fuck is probably as good as it gets, in the end.
