We all just assume that we are but really -- how would most Americans know that? It's just an uneducated assumption. Most Americans have never traveled outside of the West.

I just went to a few Asian countries that were 99% ethnic homogeneous and the difference was astounding. There was no question that everyone was the same people. Everyone was nationalist towards their country because it was the embodiment of their people. Their country dies -- their people die. Everyone shared the same language. Everyone shared the same heritage. Everyone shared the same culture.

There was no tension between different groups. There was no arguing that parts of their heritage should be forgotten. There was no volatile politics between different people or regions of the country. They were all united as one people, one culture, one nation.

And it seems like every country in the world outside of the West has that. And it seems that the West has forgotten that not having that is not normal.

United we stand -- divided we fall. That's a common saying. We say it like it's something we have to work for. We think that's normal. It's not. The rest of the planet doesn't have to say that as a goal because it's just assumed that they already have it.

We just assume we're a unified nation because it's what we've always been told. But really -- are we?
 
America is in shambles right now. There is no unity at all.


If Russia did help Trump get elected for the sole purpose of ruining our country, then mission accomplished.
 
Racial and sexual identity politics aims at exploiting differences and turning disunity into votes. That's what white power dickheads are doing, that's what radical feminism is doing, that's what black nationalists are doing.

It's the opposite of what a guy like Dr. King did. He always emphasized our fellow humanity.

We didnt need Russia to ruin our country, liberalism has been doing that for decades.
 
Yes. realistically if we had an actual serious problem, people would shut the fuck up and work toether. kinda like what happened after 9/11. We have strife based on small problems now because we have no large problems.

You can thank Obama for the lack of unity! That happened under his watch. She lost, get over it!

TBH its us normal people who aren't part of any gay transgender black muslim christian groups that are getting left in the dust. Cant all these groups just GTFO and leave my country alone?
 
Well I will say this in light of recent events....more Americans support leaving the statues alone.....


Complete discord from the left...but when hasn't that happened?

Real problems come along and we be like:

You think Trump did this? The country is losing its collective shit right now. This has been brewing for years. When you look back at the way colleges have created a giant echo-chamber devoid of controversial and counter ideas, where people have to go to counseling because someone said something they don't like, because the person they voted against won... this is the environment that's been created from that. There's no debating because people don't know how and now they aren't taught. What's going on right now is a direct reflection of the college atmosphere.

I solidly agree with this. Those who should be our intellectual leaders are those least prepared to engage those who think differently than themselves. In all the enthusiasm for racial diversity we've ignored equally or more important types of diversity, such as intellectual and philosophical diversity in key areas of our nation's life.
 
The place you described is basically North Korea...because outside of that, it doesnt exist, as you wll clearly see when you live in and become a part of any culture, Asian or otherwise. Visiting one place for a few days cannot uncover the cultural nuance and difference that all these nations posses, japan included.

The reality is that after 400 years of slavery,100 plus years of segregation and disenfranchisement, and generation after generation of knowing nothing else, being confronted with a black man as president named barack husein obama would illicit a backlash no matter what. Whether he came out in a black panther outfit saluting the fist and giving out reparations....or was a harmless closet republican....the backlash would be the very same. It's a natural and normal backlash considering the history. There is nothing wrong with the backlash in that sense. To expect anything else would simply go against the very nature of man.

Ultimately the country was in no way shape or form ready for a black president, and it was the worst thing that could have happened to black people. The general white populace would say see...look, there is no longer any discrimination happening whatsoever, because one of them is the president - and the rest truly is history. We all know how it went from there. With fox news and the internet fanning the newly lit flames, the flames which have always been present.

So now we are going to be tested again, like we have before. I dont think anyone has the stomach or the balls to take it where it went in recent history.
