My Race is "American"
CDS ^ | 3/9/2010 | B. Chrysostom

Posted on 03/09/2010 7:22:34 PM PST by ezfindit

Mark Krikorian from the National Review Online has a great suggestion on how we can all fight back against the divisive racial classifications perpetuated by the government via the Census.

Mark’s recommendation is to enter “American” as our response to Question #9 on the 2010 Census Form that will soon be mailed out to all American households.

We urge you to do this and stop the continual segregation of America into more and more racial classes. We are one people and one country under God. We are all Americans!

They would also take “Indy”, “The Talladega 500”, “Cannonball Run”, or “Tour de France”.

Great post and great idea!

I reply “American” every time I am asked to specify my race, and have been doing so for years.

The fact that we have allowed the tribal pimps to gain this much power over us is insane!

This tribe! That tribe! This divisive factor! That divisive factor! This hate speech monger! That hate speech monger!

I seems that one can hardly turn on the radio or the TV or read a newspaper and not be assaulted by some person or group demanding some “right” for their pet movement or cause. And further demanding that us poor suffering taxpayers ought to pay for it! And, adding insult to injury, calling those that oppose whatever “right” said person or group is demanding “bigots,” or “racists,” or “haters,” or “stupid,” or worse.

No wonder the US is coming apart at the seams!

Just about every day I pray for an end to all this tribal warfare, and for the rise of a charismatic person to help us put an end to it.

So far, in vain!

I’ll wager I am not alone in wondering who in America will step forward and lead us to an end of these insane tribal wars and restore America to the greatness we most assuredly are capable of!

Mine was the 100 yard dash and I have not done it in 45-50 years. Even when I did run it I lost. Sigh.............

lol...I already mailed mine in. I marked Native American and White. Well....I have enough Cherokee in me to qualify; but in my case, I got the coloring of the irish/german. Back in the 90’s this PC bs started creeping into the defense industry and McDonnell Douglas sent out letters regarding minority status (my family had a precision machine shop)and if we qualified etc etc...so my father, actually went to OK and got the records and by golly we had enough in us (I also had a full blooded cherokee maternal grandmother. So....I’m a minority :P

Are we obligated to fill it out at all?

Can we just toss it?

I’m toying with the idea of just filling in the number of people in the household and leaving all the nosy questions blank.

Are they going to come after me for doing that?

I’m thinking they’ll do harassment or somehow they’ll put you on some list for the IRS to harass.

What do you all think?

My heritage is East African. My ancestors were making stone tools in the Great Rift Valley 2.6 million years ago.

Hmmm... I should've used this on my college applications.

Just fill in the number of people in the house.

All the other ones, answer, but answer in the way I mentioned. That way they cannot get you for not answering. You did answer, you answered every question, just not with the answer they were hoping for. It’s your honest answer, you aren’t trying to joke, or lie, or mislead, it is your truthful answer to every unconstitutional question on the survey.

I plan to answer everything the Constitution asserts. Nothing more, Nothing less.

I’m only filling in the number of people in the household. My answers to all the other questions is that they do not have Constitutional Authority to require me to provide that information.

I'm just going to fill mine out like my ancestors did during the first census in 1790; Number of people in the household, and number of horses and cows.

I believe not answering will help lower unemployment by requiring more census takers. It’s the patriotic thing to do.

A person’s makeup is determined by combination of both mother and father and they each bring the combination of their ancestors. After a few generations in this country, the number of potential racial combinations would be so great that almost no one could state with any degree of certainty what their racial makeup was. That is what is so uniquely American. I think America was once referred to as the melting pot for that reason. (I suppose that if incest was practiced you could keep the bloodlines pure but you would then have either idiots or royalty.)

Well, we do have liberals who think they are royalty but who are actually idiots. Does that count?
