+1.

I'm mixed-raced, multi-ethnicity. When people ask what I am, I say "American." Then they say, "well, where did you come from?" I say "America." Then they press it and I tell them to stop right there. I don't ask white people what their heritage is.

I'm tired of hearing ANY hyphenated crap before American. You're either American, or from another country. This hyphenated crap is dividing this nation. If I were running this country, there would be no asking race in school placement nor job searches. You're either an American citizen, or you better have a legal right to work in America, or you can't have a job. That's it. No more quotas.

As for schools, you're either in state, or you're not. If you're in state for State Colleges, you pay in state tuition. Or you pay out of state tuition.

That whole race crap is outdated. I'd like to believe we're past that. But apparently, the media isn't. I'm tired of hearing Obama is our first African-American President. How about we just say President Obama and leave it at that? It was like how they kept saying that Hillary Clinton (and later Sarah Palin) were women. You think I couldn't figure out their gender? I actually canceled my subscription to Time magazine because of that. They devoted whole issues to race and gender. It got old fast. Very fast.

abraham lincoln is my favorite president. a man of eloquent words & strong conviction - i hope & pray that some day there will be another man or woman like him as president.

Lincoln was a horrible president if you only read the contemporary media while he was in office. Sounds very familiar from only recently.

No comment, I don't want to make anyone mad.

We're not anyone, we're nobody's. 😃

That's only because you cheer for the wrong team. 😛

Still dead, that was corpse flatulence.

Theres so much i agree with here, from the "American" point.
"African" "Mexican" whatever.........I don't go around waving a British flag because my ancestors were from England. I'm AMERICAN!
And like i have said before........if a black kid wears a short that says "Black pride" (Which i have seen, MANY times) everyone pats him on the back for being proud of his heritage.
If i wore a "White pride" shirt, i'd ba tarred and feathered as a racist.
Why can't we all just be AMERICANS????
Any other name just divides us.

No.. you would be a Cheesey Cracker. :lol:

Making sure that all realize it is merely a joke..
