The "I'm an American - American" reminds me of this old song by Khristofferson back in the day -1972

Jesus Was a Capricorn

He ate organic food
He believed in love and peace
And he never wore no shoes

Long hair, beard and sandals
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon we'd just nail him up
If he came down again

'CAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOTTA HAVE SOMEBODY TO LOOK DOWN ON
WHO THEY CAN FEEL BETTER THAN AT ANY TIME THEY PLEASE
Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me

Eggheads cussing rednecks, cussing Hippies for their hair
Others laugh at straights who laugh at
Freaks who laugh at squares

Some folks hate the Whites
Who hate the blacks who hate the Klan
Most of us hate anything that
We don't understand'

CAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOTTA HAVE SOMEBODY TO LOOK DOWN ON

You are very right about it being hard. I purposely avoid the words hate and I believe. Just the facts maam! Dum da da dum dummm
