I have no problem with anyone having pride in their ancestry.
Personally I'm neither african or american, but I am married to an american. I want our children to think of both england and america as their homes.
The one thing I do object to is aonyone telling anyone else how to be American. Unless you signed the declaration of independence, you have no say whatsoever on how someone else takes pride in the United States.
Oh, and I love how the quote in the OP takes such pride in talking about being from "Dixie". What's wrong? Wasn't just being American good enough for you?
