Why Can't We All Just Get Along

The question I raise today is: Have we become so diversified that our sense of national unity actually has fallen apart? I pose this as a question to which the answer will help build the strength of our nation or will slowly destroy us. Unfortunately, I have to include some disclaimers on the front end. I am not racist, never have been, I was raised better than that. To the opposite extreme I am, I actually believe and practice what I preach. That is right ladies and gentleman, I believe in equality and fairness, not matter what someone's race or ethnicity. Actual equality, not the fantasy made up equality that Democrats believe in. Their equality entails speaking for years and years about equality but only to attract votes. They have never done anything worthwhile dealing with civil rights. May I offer the south as a classic example. The south used to be the breeding ground for segregationist hatred, as it has slowly moved away from that hatred it has become increasingly Republican. Coincidence? I think not.
Some time ago, the Democratic party started to get the Black vote in the United States. This paradigm shift actually took place in the late twenties and early thirties. Polling, yes they had this even then, and public opinion among black Americans ws decidedly shifting from the party of Lincoln. They felt, alas, that the Republicans were taking advantage of them for votes and leaving them behind as soon as they went to Washington. So, the Democratic party for the first time thought, hey, we can do the same thing! And the rest is proverbial history. After 75 years, the promises are unfulfilled, Socialist thinking has not ended wide spread poverty of minorities or given them advanced status. Public opinion has dictated that affirmative action has actually hurt minorities more than helped. Lyndon Johnson's social programs have entered the country into debt and obligations, but again, this has spun a negative view of minorities in the minds of many Americans. It has also prevented, not helped, many Black and minority americans from advancing themselves socially, politically, and economically. And now we are a diverse culture, not in the good sense, but we are segregated once again. We are not all one big melting pot of Americans, we are African American, Mexican American, Cuban American, Irish American, German American, English American, Canadian American, Asian Pacific American, and more. We have chosen to ignore our destiny as a Nation and instead embraced our downfall as diverse camps of nationals who just happen to reside in the same general area. Whoopi Goldberg, as much as I hate her politics, was right when she said she was not African American, she was an American period. She received flak from all corners, but she was right and honest. I am a product of Immigration. My relatives came from abroad, one specific branch came from Germany less than a century ago, I am NOT A GERMAN AMERICAN! If anyone dares to call me a German American, I will punch them in the mouth and then kick them. I am an American. I don't have a separate constitution, I am an American and to say otherwise is a disgrace to my relatives who fought for a better life in this country in the wilderness of Minnesota to South Dakota.
So the question we have to ask ourselves is why do the Democrats want to break us into groups. They want to because it gives them more political power. They cannot when more than fifty percent of America's vote. So they play one group against the other for maximum effect. They know that if they do not get at least 85% of the black vote, they will not win the Presidency. They know if they don't get 75% of the Hispanic vote, they will not win another national election. They break them apart because they are able to demonize white people(Why else, do they spew that our Constitution only considers black people 3/5 of a person when that is not further from the truth. A free black was considered a full person just like everyone else. In fact, the slave owners would have been more than happy to have them count double. The northern states did not feel that they should reward slavery. You see, the more people the southern states freed, the more representatives they could get.) and pretend that they hold the keys to all minorities' prosperity. IF that was the case would they not have sprung them from their "bonds." No, because they know that a black American who is wealthy is more likely to vote Republican than a black American who is poor. The moment they give real opportunity to black people, they will start thinking about policy and not party. The Democrats will always lose on policy, all they have is their name brand.
Our diversification is pointless. We all have the same wants, the same needs, this is what true equality is, right? A national identity. Do we not want our children to grow up in a safer world. If that is protecting them from national trespassers from Mexico, then why does it matter if they are Mexican Americans? It doesn't! They are Americans and they want to be safe! What American wants to be taxed out the wahoo! I don't, you don't, and when the leaders of the Democratic party says that we are undertaxed (just for the record, undertaxed isn't even in the dictionary) as a nation! What American is going to vote for them? None, unless they are taught to break themselves into factions. So now we teach our children to think of themselves as a part of different factions. I was always taught that this was a part of the reason that racism develops, by separation. However, not any more, this is the politically correct way of doing business in America. Don't dare question this! You will be dubbed a racist.
