Well in my 11 almost 12 months of post here, I've never seen a black person post a race thread on here or the OT lounge

This is a disproportionately white board, admittedly.

I think race is being talked about more now because of movements from feminist/minority groups like "Check Your Privilege". This is an acrid attempt to marginalize a group of people strictly due to race and gender and should be taken with at least a bit of seriousness.

Also please don't tell me you're serious about the roots thing. I mean REALLY???

Of course I'm serious about this.

Why on Earth should you be proud about something simply because you were born with it? I can be proud of America and its accomplishments, but I shouldn't be proud to be an American solely because that's where I happened to be born.

If it's unearned, it's not worthy of being proud of.

Unless you can give an objective reason why people should be proud of their ethnicity.
