Unfortunately ''nationalism'' usually has an under current of racism to it. Goetz von Berlichingen. There was a Waffen SS division by that name. They didn't show much of a stomach for fighting though. They got pretty chewed up by our guys in the fighting in Normandy in 1944.

Von Berlichingen was a very thoughtful poster here back in 2000...he left declaring the Iraq war was stupid.....and one could argue he had a point

You can read the moniker origin for yourself

It predates SS by 500 years

I dont really care that in some opinions our nationalism has an undercurent of racism to it

We are a nation of ideas and culture born almost entirely of white European origin

It would be impossible for our nationalism not to have some foot in what progressives will call racism

So be it

Its the culture that we have the most right to be proud of worldwide racist or not

Imagine a world without the America of 1617 till the 1970s or no western culture at all

Give it some hard thought

No disrespect but racism is just not my first concern nor is what is called racism today actually that
