Guys,
It is NOT about being unpatriotic...for African-Americans the price of freedom was paid for with the tears of our ancestors. I am not about to go into a discourse on the trials and tribulations of slavery. But I will say that people who came to this country kicking and screaming and in chains, no less, will never be able to truly, fully, believe that this is the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE.
I enjoy the liberties of being an American citizen as much as the next guy, but that doesn't prevent me from analyzing the layers of politics behind blind patrioticism.
That is ALL I am prepared to say in this forum.
