Yes! I have much more affinity for Americans (with higher melanin content) than I do for low melanin content people from Ireland or England…because they AREN’T AMERICAN!
I think this is another reason why woke is so awful and destructive. I truly don’t think that many black people know that many of us think of all Americans (born here or granted legal asylum or came legally) as our brothers and sisters in arms. Truly.
Many black families have been here five or ten generations before “white”families.
I really miss the idea of the melting pot. Celebrating different traditions and cultures instead of “othering” people with differences. It’s so wrong, and capitalizes on the worst parts of human nature instead of the best parts.
This is one of the main messages I’ve been taking out into the world when talking to people I know are lifelong progressives and Biden voters…
When black ants and red ants are put together in a glass jar, they are peaceful and going about their jobs, taking care of the babies and getting food etc. If the jar is picked up and shaken violently, the ants attack and kill each other. This is what is happening right now in our society. So all ants should ask…WHO IS SHAKING THE JAR?
There is so much more that unites us than divides us. If 80% of people agree on 80% of things..,there is nothing that can stop us. The jar shakers know this, and this is why they shake.
Been a long time since i read the federalist papers, but there was an argument about referencing our fellow Americans as brothers and sisters. Pertaining specifically, to the writing of our founding documents.
Cannot remember the paper and who wrote it, but basically, it was quickly squashed.
Reason?
If you say your neighbor is your brother and sister, you devalue your actual brother and sister.
They very much cared about the family.
Maybe, one of the autist anons can help remind me of this one.
