Am I proud to be associated with WordPress, and its goal to democratize publishing?
Yes!

Am I proud it is used by millions to share their love of freedom, surfing, kittens, knitting, etc?
Yes!

Am I proud it is also used to publish racial slurs, hate speech, religious diatribe?
Yes…

… Because that is what free speech is about.
And, it helps with the whole “know your enemy” thing. :)
