Prentending To Be American

WHEN CONSERVATIVE SCOUNDRELS, which is most conservatives, are in a corner, they invariably rely on patriotism and or religion to bail them out. They are "in a corner" now, because the extreme right wing of their movement is showing its ass, and America does not like it. Look virtuous. We're all Americans. Its the nation that counts. Constant reminders of ethnic diversity and identity are divisive. what that means, of course, is that we should all embrace the prevailing mainstream white middle culture, in all its manifestations. Make America great again, The way it once was, when "Leave It To Beaver" was on prime time, and inconvenient minorities, like blacks and women, were kept in the corner. When, according to the "Make America Great Again" crowd, did America go wrong, and cease being great? Why, during the nineteen sixties and seventies, of course, when the at left, the women, the blacks, the anti Viet Nam war crowd made its appearance, and hasn't gone away. The same conservatives who condemn the mere mention of racism as divisive, stand idly by as American society perpetuates racism in every area. The conservative attitude is keep the government out of it, let society develop naturally, racism only exists when trouble making liberals start bringing it up for political gain. Conservative nonsense, conservative insanity, conservative dishonesty. Unless our American government shoves racial equality down our throats, racism will dominate America. Ignoring it, and endlessly repeating that "we are all Americans" is simply of condoning the racist status quo. Since diversity exists in America, instead of ignoring it or working to make everybody culturally the same by calling them "Americans", emphasizing conformity and ending diversity - why not celebrate it?
