    I am disgusted by my government.

    I am very unhappy with some of the things that we had to do to get here, killing Natives, burning forests and the like.

    I am not "proud" to be an American. Pride is for accomplishments. I did not create America.

    I am not happy with some of the people here.

    But I love my country and I want to work to better it. If everyone just gives up hope because of bad blood, bad history and some bad assholes, then what do you have? Worse. There is no excuse to give up.

      Not proud to be American. Are you the first lady? She's said the same.
      Actually she said "only now she's proud to be..."

      Contradiction:

      "I am not "proud" to be an American. Pride is for accomplishments."

      "But I love my country and I want to work to better it."

      Explain?

        How is that a contradiction? I love my country. I am not "proud" to be an American, because I was born here, it is not something I worked for, but I love this country and want to work towards improvement. Much of what I am now and what I have been able to do already is because of the freedoms alotted by this country.

        Being an American is not an accomplishment. Pride and love are two separate feelings.

          If you're not proud to be American, then why try to be the best American you can be?
