National Pride and the Stigma Attached

If I’m proud of my country does it make me racist? Better than all those in separate places, a stigma attached in nationality cases a taboo pride for thoughtless wasters. But I can be proud of my team or my family, sing songs out loud whilst beaming proudly, I can be proud of my city or school, why is national pride the mark of a fool If I reflect on the person I am, I’m not reflecting on an other man, it’s not a comparison of somebody else, my thought are of me, they include no one else I say I’m proud to be British and you take offence, because you think it means I hate the French but at no point in time was I thinking of France you assume I was because that is your stance. It’s stupid to assume that pride is a bigot, it’s a learned assumption of intellectual limit, I’m not proud of it all because some of it’s shameful, so don’t be a fool and see pride as hateful. lol
