“American” is not exclusively a trait reserved only for “white people”. “American” is a state of mind, and may be achieved by anyone, ANYONE, in the world. Even where they now live, far though it may be physically from the geographic area of the North American continent.
The “American experiment”, with reliance on the three most basic of rights, “Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness” underscores the whole essence of the soul and moral basis of what it is to be an American.
“Pursuit of Happiness” is shorthand for the quiet enjoyment of personal and real property, without constant fear it may be confiscated for capricious or arcane reasons. This seems to be a common problem in many parts of the world.
Exactly. Bingo. There are a few principles that will lead you to a positive, fruitful, productive life, and these principles are accessible to anyone. Your culture may promote these to a lesser or greater extent, your family may have taught you these or may not have, you may have internalized these or you may not have, but they are there and anyone can live them out.
The left tries to tie these to skin color as a way of driving a barrier against them, and as a way of robbing them of their moral authority. It is a sleight of hand that leaves people with no hope and nothing but empty chaos in exchange.
> “American” is not exclusively a trait reserved only for “white people”.
It is being framed as such, by enemies.
Let’s just wear it.
OMAR: THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A BROWN COUNTRY.
