Felt this. I haven’t really ever felt proud of America. It was weird growing up with immigrant parents, proud of their new homeland, just for me to learn of all its atrocities across the world and be like: “y’all moved here for this? They murdered and raped your birth country!”
I really want to be more optimistic and hopeful, it’s just so hard with everything going on and how overt the racists are these days.
