"The leftists are the true race baiters in this country."

They want us at each others throats, they encourage it, so that people think they need the Jesse Jacksons of the world to save them.

At the risk of generalizing, Americans of European heritage tend not to hyphenate their "identity", while other ethnic groups do. When is the last time you heard someone referred to as a "European-American". It seems odd. So why isn't it odd, to refer to others this way?

Referring to someone as "Italian-American" or "German-American" seems so Ellis Island, like a journey down memory lane to the times of the Titanic, the Hindenberg, and those funny old bicycles, with the huge front wheel.

It's such old thinking. America is about renewal. Inclusion.

Somehow many non-European heritage Americans seem to have been convinced by the race baiters, that ethic hyphens bring some sort of freedom, or equality.

In fact, it traps. Once adopted, the hyphen defines the person. What good is that??
