"Oniel Brewer BLACK AND VERY PROUD!"
Something about this really bothers me. You can learn so much about this person in just those four words. What exactly is there to be proud of here, and how is it even relevant to anything anyway? Did he accomplish anything to become black? No. He was just born that way by chance, NOT by any of his doings. So he's black, big deal. Who really cares? Bob is very tall. Should Bob put "TALL AND VERY PROUD!" at as his sig line? or how about short people, pretty people, ugly people, or handicapped people? Don't people get it. It is just how we were born, and it is no accomplishment of our own. If I were to put "WHITE AND VERY PROUD!" as my sig line, there are those that would call it racist. Well, there is no difference with our friend Oniel. I am white, and I am neither proud of nor ashamed of it. It just simply is how it is. It was not due to any choice or effort on my part, so why should I be proud? I really wish people would take their foolish pride in things like this and just flush it. Apparently the concept of humility is something Oniel is not familiar with. You can embrace your culture and enjoy it, but I see no logical reason to be proud of it, or ashamed of it for that matter. I personally happen to fascinated with different cultures and I enjoy learning as much as I can about them. I appreciate our differences, but I feel NO need to focus on them. It just serves to drive the wedge of pride in even deeper between the different races.
Yes, this could be looked as off topic, but I think it helps to explain a little about the mentality of this individual. He is selfish and ignorant in that he would support (or actually is) a person that would steal someone else's photo and use it for their own purposes. He is downright sick in that he would take amusement in the act of sending Bob porn and the fact that his children saw it. He is prideful with no reason to be, and it is actually he who is the racist, which also makes him a hypocrite.
