Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely proud” to be American in the most recent poll.
Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over.
18% is still too high. As Obama’s pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.
I’m going to say this as gently as possible, but you wouldn’t know how well they’re treating you because they do it behind your back. I am white and have seen it way too many times.
I can understand your concern, though my first wife was from Gentry, AR and I lived there as well (I often forget that as she is an ex wife). It is possible for people to have different experiences to the rhetoric.
