Is your medication wearing off? Look up a few posts to this little gem:
I fond [sic] your statement ill-conceived at best, and flat oput [sic] ignorant at worst.
And I think you should re-read your own posts. The stuff you're quoting makes my argument, which is that while America is racially and religiously diverse, we used to have a unique culture that was an amalgamation of those diverse races, religions and cultures.
Here, let me try to simplify it a little for you: Our diversity truly used to be our strength, because all of the different groups that came together as Americans added something to the culture and BECAME AMERICAN. Not black, white, green, purple, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Catholic, short, fat, male, female. AMERICAN. You know -- the greatest country in the world.
O'Connor's assertion that one American with a certain skin color, or gender, or religion or ethnic background should be treated differently than any other American is so un-American as to be offensive. And that's what you appear to be defending as 'racial diversity.'
An assertion which mirrors the US Constitution.
Unless you can find an earlier example of the concept of three-fifths a person anywhere.
Thanks for pointing out my typos, I avoided pointing your "arivees", but that's just me I guess.
If that's what you consider "personal insults" I would join a different forum.

Was this before or after we decided that blacks and women were American enough to vote?
