Being a proud white American

[almostgone]

Pride is one of mans greatest down falls.

Absolutely. People that have pride in their belief that they are better than others, look down on others, have no clue about humility, it is f-in disgusting.

Pride in a good lift, doing a good job.... it's different. I wish there was an entirely different word for that.

Proof that powerlifting is holier than bodybuilding.

I can't argue against that!

Exactly my point, pride is doing a good job. Why find a better or alternative word? It’s those that associate it with supremacy over others that need to find another word and it’s supremacist.

Being prideful & feeling supreme over another are in fact somewhat separate ideas. Thank you for confirming yet another of my points in my original post. That is that an individual cannot express pride in being a good white American citizen without somehow having that simple idea be linked with the negativity of supremacy.
