      I get your point but I don’t think anyone should be ashamed where they’re from, per se. I have no power over where I’m born.

        Just because you shouldn’t feel proud of something doesn’t mean you should be ashamed of it, and I don’t think they’re implying one should be. I’m not proud that I have a nose, but I’m not ashamed I do either; I just have one.

          I’m not ashamed that I was born in a backwards, bible-thumping, right-wing hellhole. But, I am ashamed of how backwards and idiotic my home state is.

          They are responding to someone who literally said they should be ashamed though. And one of the examples was being white. The blatant racism is disgusting.

      Can’t say that any of those things you listed someone should be ashamed of, but maybe not proud of them either.

      Fwiw, Trump either genuinely believes he’s done nothing wrong, or he needs his fans to believe it, so him saying this kinda tracks.

      I guess there’s a reason pride is a deadly sin
