"If I were African-American I'd get down on my knees and pray thanks to god for letting slavers grab my ancestors and get me out of the horrors of the "homeland". Thank god I didn't grow up in Somalia or any of the other hell-holes on the African continent. Thank god."

"A hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts 'Native' before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or French before the hyphen.
Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.
We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance."

Theodore Roosevelt... 1915
