yesterday on tv i saw a man win a running race at the Olympics, with a slower time than someone else had won the race some years previous. he was extremely proud that he had won, and showed his extreme pride in two ways:

first, he ripped his nametag off of his uniform and ran around holding it up for the world to see. the name he is so proud of originated from the family that had enslaved his ancestors.

second, he ran around wrapped in the flag of the nation he resides in. the flag he is so proud of represents a nation that has never stopped oppressing and murdering people of his racial background.

the man’s show of pride was far more interesting than the race, in my opinion.
