Personally and socially, I am an American.
If I was grouped by my skin tone and heritage I would be repressed in my day to day thoughts and actions, hyped and hyphinated by my peers and disassociated with by those not like me because of a social stigma. So celebrating my "group" would be my only cover.
But being it's BLACK America we are discussing, we are given a pass on mindlessness to celebrate an ethnicity who describes themselves as only half American and endure endless racial overtones of inequality.
There is no other ethnicity that is even allowed the celebritory alignment of rejoicing. Let alone improvement as a culture.
When ethnic leaders remove the ethnicity from their argument they become little more then American citizens.
Aren't we lucky.

When ethnic leaders remove the ethnicity from their argument they become little more then American citizens. And that unity makes America a very powerful commodity.
