Wait....Is this statement serious?? You think this country is sane right now?? Your conclusions about who takes ownership of what are your own. Don’t speak for everyone in America. I find a lot of the bogus things being said and happening in the US right now to be a big part of the problem in our very divided country.

I agree it often seems that the “United States” are more like intermingled tribes. But we all pay taxes to the same behemoth, which is sustained in no small way by our “defense” establishment. I’m all for defense, and I think it’s reasonable to maintain foreign bases and project power when/as necessary. Whatever your politics, “we” all are responsible for the actions taken by “our” country, especially abroad, IMO.
Yeah. It’s a reasonable thought.. but I don’t feel responsible for slavery when most of my ancestors came after slavery was even legal here. And we can reconcile things without making each other into villains
Add to that, that MOST whites in America were on the side of the North, fighting to END slavery. MY wife's and my great great grandfathers fought for the North. Hers waws killed at Antietam. It is an insult to their memories that ANYONE suggests that all whites were ever supporters of slavery. BTW, it is the democratic party that is the one, the only party of institutional racism. Slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, segregation and today's black ghettos--All democrat, all the time.
And, yes, 'America' is an amalgam of cultures, not a monolithic mass. That much should be self-evident, when we look at the divisive issues playing today.
Well, yeah, except they didn't. Just one more piece of pablum for the Marxist masses.
Perhaps you forgot to notice that the Dixiecrats, AKA the KKK, disappeared from view as the numerous southerners released themselves from the democratic party's (Dixiecrats) hold on their governments, and went Republican. No, the Dixiecrats didn't join in with Nixon, they got left behind as the South went from democrat control to Republican control.
Go ahead, show me ONE southern Dixiecrat that became Republican. I'll even help you out with it: David Duke. He converted to being a Republican, but the Republicans wouldn't have him. He only got to claim he was a Republican when a court ruled that the Republican party had to take him. But they never wanted him.

Sure. Until Nixon's Southern Strategy and the Dixiecrats turned Republican. But, except for that quibble, sure.

You got me. OK, that's one....
