I am not particularly "proud", but that doesnt make me "self loathing" over it neither. I consider myself lucky to be born into a decent empire ith more oppurtunities for someone than some other countries. There are things I like about our country, and others I don't. However, stating your "proud" to be an american states that you would never not be an american due to too much pride to see other countries as equals to yours. Proud is a pretty strong word.
As far as the bloodline thing, yeah I suppose. But that only truely holds up if your partly native american otherwise you bloodline lies in another country technically. Same with the culture of your family. My family has strong roots to German/Irish cultures through my grandparents on my mother's side. Native American culture is non-existant in the family now as it died with my grandparent's parents on my father's side. Faint traces show up here or there but for the most part it is gone.
I don't know, I have alot of views on it. I voted no though. Why? Because although I am not ashamed to be an American, I am neither proud. I am proud to be who I am. I only happen to be an American. I would defend it because it is my home. Just as I would defend Germany or Egypt if they were my home.
