The sleight of hand by which American culture becomes "white" culture is how the Left drives a wedge between the groups that share in that culture. The Left and the DNC are masters at manipulating people along ethnic lines. The easiest way to separate people from American values is to convince them that they belong to a particular race of men and not to humanity, that if you are not of the appropriate race then they can not be your values.
The DNC and the Left have repackaged an old heresy. The purpose is the same, to make themselves indispensable and to prove that American values are unworkable by rendering them unworkable driving a spike right into the machineworks.
I suppose it's fairly easy to separate people from American values, once they forget that the Constitution treats all men alike, as individual human beings — not on grounds of their membership in any particular group.
The latter is the spirit of the French Revolution, not the American.
Superficially, the two revolutions resemble each other: both were developments from the natural law tradition, and both were ostensibly committed to human liberty.
The difference is the American Revolution vests the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and property ("pursuit of happiness") directly in the individual human person. The French Revolution vests them in an abstraction called Man.
The American Revolution was based on the idea that the unalienable rights of individual human beings are vested directly in them by their Creator, God. This is the reason they are inviolable by the far lesser authority, the State.
The French Revolution, on the other hand, effectively left their protection up to the State, or more precisely, to the "revolving-door" body of soi-dissant intellectuels who man the bureaucracies in charge of such matters. Which was no protection at all. The philosophes and their sans-culotte Igors — the SEIU of their day — wiped out all the traditional bases of French society, formented unimaginable chaos, including the murder of over 16,000 French citizens; and left such a catastrophic mess in their wake that it finally took a natural-born totalitarian like Napoleon to "clean it up." Needless to say, it seems the French Revolution did not exactly live up to its promise, as establishing — finally — Liberté, Egalité, et Fraternité here on earth.
The Revolution of our American Founders was a heck of a lot more modest in its principles and goals. They trusted in God, not in men — nor in Man.
And vive la difference!
On a more practical note, it seems to me that I have never before in my life seen such a concerted effort to stir up racial sensitivities and acrimony than I have in recent times, with this so-called "post-racial president"....
