Crumby - Am I the Proudest I have ever been of America?
Yeah. Maybe. But my pride in America level pretty much stays the same all the time anyway. It may be up a tiny notch this morning, yet, that is hard to determine, quantitatively.
Interestingly, Mrs. Obama has suggested that pride in America may vary from time to time, place to place, person to person. This odd notion shall undoubtedly rile many who feel that pride in America is a constant, much like common sense. You either have it, or you don’t.
Did you know that pride is a sin? Well, pride, according to many, is a sin. I am not sure. Self pride of the overweening variety may be the worst of the pride sins. General America pride may be less of a sin, since the general America, qualification, spreads the sin around.
Oh my Goddess! Let me list all the items I am proud of America for. Merciful heavens, there are too many. But one of them is, unlike Mrs. Obama, I pass for white. So that gives me a big advantage with all those Americanos who believe that pride is a constant. If I chose to do so, I could easily pass as one of those incredible emotive intellects possessed of common sense. No doubt, in the past tense, I have done so frequently, maybe.
Yes. I am proud that in America, I pass for white. If I was taller and fairer, I would be even more white. But I pass. Passing has gotten me places I could not have gone, otherwise. Like for example, I bet I could never have gotten hardly any of the various lousy jobs I have labored at, if I had not passed for white. That is mostly because, other than passing for white, I was unqualified for, uninterested in, and had no aptitude for, those lousy jobs. Yet passing for white, saved me. I guess, my supervisors thought I was just joking around on those jobs.
Well, he’s white, aint he?
Good Goddess! Anyway, Mrs. Obama is right on, all righty then. I can easily espy, that from her present perspective, that she is the proudest she has ever been of America. Hope that lasts.
