I am shamed to be

White – our race has wasted so much time putting down other races just because they weren’t white.  Instead of embracing their differences and discovering what they had to share.

Male – we expend so much energy in figuring out how to deny women the same desires males have instead of assisting them in how they can realize their own dreams.

American – I am proud to be an American but have not always been proud of our history.  Slavery, segregation, how we treated the Native Americans, the stock market crash, healthcare, tolerance of others (gays for instance).  A lot to think about.

Adult – we treat our offspring as though we are glad we had them for clean up but not for taking the reins when we retire or expire. 

Life is so short and precious.  Right is right for all.  Let’s all work on getting it that way.
