Perhaps this is not what you meant, Drippy, but it sounds as if you are championing the Uncle Toms? And as I noted in another thread, there is a legitimate question as to when or whether America was ever great.
The biggest thing with Americans seems to be that far too many have an almost unlimited capacity to have smoke blown up their asses.
No. I champion any social group who seeks and sets themselves to be assimilated into the greater community. Our father knew this and that is why white people are not split into 1/2 a dozen old country groups. when you see a white american unless he is speaking with a foreign accent, the man is simply a american. The same could be said of the black american unless he speaks with a foreign accent. that is unless he is holding onto a sub sect, or another social order.. where this man would rather identify as "X" or "Y" American. Again as the Harper lee's book identifies this is the reason for segergation, because then it was a white forced difference, now it is a black forced difference, and no american who has given up what "Y" american hold on to will ever be seen as an equal.
That is my point. it has nothing to do with uncle tom's. In a melting pot cultures all come together and are well integrated. a "Y" american wants to be kept seperate and not integrate into the rest of the pot.
