That may be true among white people but their were plenty of civilizations in my world, the African world, that were able to work together. Matter of fact Ethiopia was not colonized because Christians and Muslims worked together to expel white people by killing the priest and kicking them out.That only works if people are dumb enough to say my group is superior. If they dont say that then there is no issue. You will never see everyone claiming they are simply american as long as the resources and access to opportunities are not evenly distributed. People that believe in the American theory are probably the first ones to get upset about AA and reparations. They actually think that pretending America has not caused economic and cultural injury to some is going to make people feel included.So you have African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, or Asian Americans etc. But White people in America seems to be the outkast? Can someone help me understand this?
The USA is supposed to be a melting pot. That means while you honor the culture that you came from, you should honor the culture of America even more. That means you should ignore color (we are all created equal are we not?) religion, sexual preference, anything that would serve to drive other peoples apart, were supposed to be embraced in the new country. That ideal has yet to be achieved because the elite figured out the best way to control the people is to keep them separate and at war with each other. "Divide
And Conquer".
No, it works when all groups realize that they are not superior to anyone. That together they can create things better, faster, and more long lasting than if they are separate. So far the only time that that sort of "togetherness" has occurred is when some tyrant enforces it. The USA came closest to developing that togetherness without the overt tyranny that has been required in the past.
We were able to get close by not having a entrenched class system, by allowing people to advance their situation by merit and not birth. Now, those advances are being systematically destroyed and undermined by the ruling elite so that they can guarantee that they are the only ones in power.
