No

But the land this wretched state sits on is owed to us African Americans and we should fight until we get it

Serious question. If you're a black person who knows the history, knows what goes on in the country, and are well aware off all of the injustices and racial barriers that exist in this country, can you be a proud American?

I'm not sure it's possible. I could be wrong.
Yes

Unfortunately, that's 100% of the experience as a Black American.

What is there to be proud of? I'm asking you.
ok. As a Black American, I guess i see it differently. Racism doesn't really define who I am.

What's there to be proud of? This country's major contribution to Science, Innovation, Entertainment, the Arts etc etc. ...similar to the reasons that you'll find in other countries.

Not really.

But my advice is: Appreciate what you have until you have what you want.

I'm not American and i resent a LOT of things about this country mainly the hypocrisy (by both white and blacks). But it is where I rest my head at night so I have a vested interest for its well being.

It's possible for someone to be anything so yes.
Personally I'm not proud of anything I didn't achieve myself.
