PRIDE

One thing I will never understand is why people are so proud to be a certain nationality. They are PROUD TO BE LATINO or PROUD TO BE MEXICAN (OR PUERTO RICAN) or whatever. I find this interesting, especially considering that these people are born in the United States. So, how can you be proud to be from a country you’ve never lived in? How can you claim to be a PROUD CUBAN if you’ve never spent one day let alone a life time living their. You have no idea what it’s like to be Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Russian, Asian, French or any other nationality for that matter. You live in the United States of America and have been privy to the frills of such since birth. What do you possibly know about the hardships of another country? You know nothing, and yet you wear t-shirts and have bumper stickers on your car and all of a sudden you think you know something. I go to your MYSPACE page and your page is all about being a PROUD BORIQUA. Do you live in a country that could not sustain itself so therefore is now property of the United States? I do not think so. So you are PROUD TO BE CUBAN? So, did you live under tyrannical hand of Fidel and escape with your life? I think not. You live in the United States of America. At the worst you maybe had to wear hand me downs. Maybe you went without dinner a few nights. Poor you, you maybe had to walk to school. So please, stop disgracing yourself. Stop being something you’re not. If you were born in the United States, guess what? You are an AMERICAN!!! So, why don’t you start embracing the truth?

How are people prouder to be a race or nationality than they are to be a Christian? It’s rare to see a PROUD TO BE A CHRISTIAN bumper sticker or t-shirt. When is the last time you went to a person’s MYSPACE page and saw them say I’M A PROUD CHRISTIAN (of course other than my own)? How sad is that. You would rather profess your pride for a country you visit maybe once every five years before you profess your love and dedication for your LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST?
