African American
Related: About this forumI was just thinking
America is diverse. IT's a Given. Without diversity, the american culture would not be capable of our vibrancy and bounce and be what it is in spite of the wypipo making all the noise for what seems the entire white race. Not true!. I think americans, all cultures, all races can keep our vibrancy precisely because we accept each other based on us all moving through time and space together.
No, we don't live in a white nationalist dominated existence anymore like the Costra Nostra days, WWI-WWII and back to the enforced servitude of one race by another. And in spite of noise coming from a back hall, I tell THEM, "get over it", every day. There can be no subjugation of a race, in thought, action or deed, by another without tearing 'the fabric' of this society, our diversity, with a violent belligerence that we might not recover from.
The brown skinned minorities completely dominating existence would be different and fade eventually just as this hodgepodge of European models has. Why do you think the 'subset' is making so much noise? Fear of losing privilege and entitlement to most american perks, individually and collectively, that white skin bestowed upon its wearer at birth. Just share our space, resources, love, fairly without pre-judgement of the individual. It just seems, to me, cooperation WITH each other yields better result, cohabitation-wise, on this small spaceship hurtling thru space. This is a small pebble in a large, large pool of recognized expanse. This through reasoned outward observation, with Hubble et al;
It's all a mindset. To me
I am slowly starting to look outward with hope there truly is something better. Meanwhile, you are all I got. Haven't lost hope in my kind, the human kind, yet. That hope does take powerful hits though.
