The 45 second video at the link is outstanding and holds the impassioned answer of all answers for our nation. https://twitter.com/ChrisRoy489/status/1277054812257947655

One man steps forward from a group of people marching, chanting “All lives matter! All lives matter!”

He approaches the camera and delivers an impassioned plea for all Americans to come together.

“It’s gonna take us all coming together to make this nation, a great nation.

Every African American…

Every White American…

Every Chinese American…

Every Muslim American…

Every American…

We are all American citizens, and we all need one another.

And if this nation is going to be saved, it’s gonna be saved because we all have come together.

And we’re ‘all’; my family, your family.

Yes we know what happened in the past. But listen we have to forgive the past. We have to forgive

What my fathers did to your fathers…

What your fathers did to my father."

United we stand; divided we fall.

It’s the plan of Democrats to divide the country along every line they are able to create. We’re all supposed to hate each other because hate is the easiest emotion to manipulate.

If each person would focus on being a person of character instead of a person of color, we could have a much better world. Sadly, too many pledge their allegiance to the color of their skin and to their corrosive, toxic culture and would choose to burn it all down rather than let the people they hate prosper in any way.

RACIST TO THE CORE and here is WHY!!!

“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.”
“This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.”
“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”
“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English- Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian- Americans, or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.”
“The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.”
Theodore Roosevelt
Address to the Knights of Columbus
New York City- October 12th, 1915

I understand the reasoning, but the Language used is the way you change things. Funny thing is my whole life I have taken the position that ANY Hyphenated American is RACIST, and I have never been shy to let them know. The clear thinking individuals understand that a hyphenated anything is by definition racist.
