As a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated in Alabama, I really felt compelled to respond to the post by 'Alabama.' It saddens me that that young lady chose to affiliate my state with such an insensitive post. You seem very bitter. I don't know what your experience has been, but, get over it. Of course slavery is over, but that does not mean that we have made enough progress to put the racial issue to bed. We can discuss racial profiling by the police or discrimination in the workplace. We don't need to keep rehashing slavery. But, beleive me issues still exist.
What should it concern you that a black woman would be proud of who she is? No one is saying that you shouldn't be proud of who you are either. Notice she did not assert herself as superior to anyone as most people who proclaim "white pride". What they really mean is white supremacy. And finally, if a man disrespected you then charge it that to that individual not his ethnicity. I have encountered a number of drunk and rude white guys at football games and bars, but I knwo that that has more to do with his alcohol level that the color of his skin. Again, I think that you have some personal issues that you need to work through. Do that before posting in a public forum.
