I think the point is it's more important to have a shared American identity. Wanna be Irish? Go to Ireland. Want to be African? Go to Africa. If you want to be American, of course you can hold on to some parts of your old culture, but not all. The cohesion of the country is dependent on our shared culture being greater than our differences. That's the point. So while one can of course enjoy a beer or two on spd, we should focus on creating a shared culture for people to assimilate to.

I agree. As a person in a mixed race relationship, we sometimes worry that our future children will be forced to "pick a side" when it comes to identity and racial politics/relations and feel alienated. Why do we need to segregate children? Why does our understanding of race need to be so rigid? Why can't people just be who they are?

Your future children will learn racism in Democrat ran public schools. My kind, innocent child went to Kindergarten where she learned to become obsessed about skin color (something she never recognized or paid attention to before) & the concept of treating people differently because of the color of their skin. She came home traumatized. Then I caught her segregating her lego figures by the color of their skin. I was (and still am) LIVID that the public school took away my child's innocence. I'd sue if I had the funds. Democrats have permanently lost our votes.

Because humans are social animals and build groups for survival, which is something hardcoded into the human being. There is also natural competition hardcoded into humans. Competition for better social status, resources and mates. This leads compulsorily to competition and conflict between the groups that humans build. It's not others people fault for not accepting your future children, these people are just normal human beings. It's your fault for producing children in a situation which puts their future into jeopardy.

From the 80s! Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the constitutional authority to vote in appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code. The Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy. the Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of 238 million- are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Bank because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank. I exclude all of the special interest and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. Don't you see now the con game that is played on the people by the politicians? Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault.They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

The Americans were surprised and disillusioned, and then went off to Tanzania, to seek a warmer "welcome home" there.

Instead of seeing it as what it is - the most genetically, culturally, linguistically, and historically diverse continent, they treat it as one homogeneous place where every black person lives in harmony and every brown and white person is an invader who shouldn't be welcomed. And so, they get offended when Africans tell them that every white, Arab, and Indian who was born there is as African as every other African in the continent.

As a result, the years I spent living in the US were the only time Ive ever been asked "What is your race?"

FF to the 2010s and race rears its ugly head again, because people with the same insidious designs as there were 60 years ago have resurrected race as a cudgel to beat into submission everyone who dares to question their 'altruistic' objectives. It's gotten a lot of mileage the past 11 years; it's been good sport and soothing to one's ego to claim unto themselves an _identity_ -- something that makes them instantly morally superior to everyone else and with zero effort.

“Divide and conquer” have been the political motto for more than 2 millennia. How convenient for politicians when people are too busy fighting each other, so they don’t pay attention to the really important issues… So of course, they precisely cultivate that division. Will humans evolve to “Unite and create peace” ? We simply are just a big family on ONE planet ❤️ Ethnicities and language are just details… or another tool to discover so much more interesting things about life and people around us ! Details that open the doors of diversity, which is a gift for all !

He may be genuinely obsessed with race and orientation but is clearly causing division to further his aims of obtaining a Senate seat.
