I can't even begin to express how stupid this thread is and how frustrated it makes me.

I don't know about that. I mean, sure Drich's OP is painfully (and likely willfully) ignorant, but everyone else is calling him out on his bullshit.

There is no revolt. All americans wish to be afforded the rights and privileges that being an american brings. Calls for reform are about as far from revolutionary as can be imagined. They affirm the state, and reaffirm the states responsibilities to it's citizens.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I was only referring to the OP, the responses are more than appropriate.

Then why how did Trump win?
There's a great divide between whites and blacks; or let's say between the North and the South.
