I believe that because of American Exceptionaism, Americans are a race. I believe, and you’ll never hear any media outlet or bureaucrat say this, this country was founded and established with our constitution specifically for such an enlightened individual that he or she is indeed a new race of people created from Divine Providence.
And then you have those who fake it, with two specific examples in Massachusetts, Kerry (ancestral name Kohn ... I suppose anti-Semitism was even stronger than NINA in old Boston) and Warren (aka Fauxcahontas, Indian maiden of the East).
Are Americans a new race? Understanding that “race” is not bloodlines, then yes. I think Lincoln spoke to this:
A new nation [race], conceived in Liberty [not based on bloodlines or tribe], and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
As to the hand of God in our nation, he has blessed us enormously and he will hold us accountable.
The Almighty has His own purposes. “Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.” If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
It’s one of the most obnxious things in the world to see a Progressive commentator say the word “latina” or “latino” with a heavy Spanish pronunciation without breaking stride.
One minute they’ll be speaking English, and in a second or two they’re saying “lah-tee-nah” as if they were reading from sacred text.
These so-called hispanics are and will be the avant-garde of the Progressive revolution, a la Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge, if the progressives are voted into office again.
