Some of these people STILL don't consider themselves american because of it. This government has pesistently persued and had their way with our leaders. Who REALLY killed Martin and Malcolm?
It would make you wonda.

I agree with what you have said. And I "recall" what you're speaking of. However, at a time of international separation and crisis, the American public needs to show a sense of National unity. I don't place responsibility for this sense of unity in the hands of "this government," I place this in the hands of God. "One nation, under God, indivisible," should have ALWAYS meant something to this Nation...but had been swept under the rug. Now, this (along with our motto "In God We Trust") means more to Americans now than ever.
As my soror stated, I talk trash about America (used to not stand up for the National Anthem...but stood for the Black National Anthem and placed my hand over my heart) but, compare even some of the "worst" American injustices to that of other lands...and you would be kicking and screaming to get back on American soil.
