Probably not, but is Black History Month necessary? Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

As long as we continue to celebrate and highlight the differences within the social fabric of our country, the race war and social divide will continue. We will remain a hyphenated America - Black-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, Jewish-Americans, White-Americans, LGBTWQR-Americans. ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

Bill Weld VP candidate of the Libertarian Party, recently put out some info about how in 1780 John Adams voiced fears about America becoming a "duopoly". The info seems pretty accurate. We're in a heap of Shit. | |||

Theodore Roosevelt stated that one of the worst things that could happen to America would be for it to become a Hyphenated Society. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

nobull00 - Since you want to bring politics into a topic about the societal and cultural divide in the country, it seems the current political underdog is intent on fanning the race war and our differences in order to excite their base. Not sure anyone is buying that if you would consider that our current economy is lifting all ships. We have record employment in all segments of our population and folks are better off today than they have been in over a decade. But back to the real topic - celebrating and isolating our differences will keep our country a divided country. The good news is, some cultural leaders are waking up to this reality and are attempting to reach across the racial and socioeconomic divide. Who knows, maybe the trend will catch on... ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

Many Thanks for finding that and posting it. I have met and known folks that could remember as kids, being told by their Parents and Grand Parents, that when they came to America and became citizens that while they respected their ancestors and their country of origin, they were now AMERICANS and when in Public they would conduct themselves like any other American. It is great for a person to be proud of their families heritage, but they need to remember that their ancestors came to America to become Americans and provide their families with a better life.

Some friends recently went to California where they met a man of apparently Hispanic descent. Their young daughter asked if he was Mexican. No, he responded, he was native Californian. He then gave them a lesson in California history. My earlier post about "Duopoly" was simply to underscore the previous posts about divisions in our country. It was not to bring in politics. | |||

Where I work, they started with the Women's Employee Resource Group or WERG This was followed by the African Heritage Employee Resource Group or AHERG Next was the LGBTQ-whatever Employee Resource Group, known as LERG This was followed by the MIllenials' Employee Resource Group or MERG Finally, we got the only one worth a damn, the Veteran's Employee Resource Group, or VERG One of the company's goals is to increase "Diversity and Inclusion." I keep wondering how formation of all these single-minded groups is considered "inclusive." On the positive side, if an employee is a black, millennial, lesbian veteran, they get a lot of paid time off to mingle...……. Doug Wilhelmi NRA Life Member | |||
