    As far as I’m concerned we should cut all the holidays and just make American Month. Everything else is has been ruined and just creates division. Personally, I think it’s best to quit referring to Americans as anything other than American; no Native, Irish, African, Italian, Asian etc. just American. Most of us don’t even know anyone from the country that our ancestors came from and NOBODY originated from North America anyway. We should at least identify as American native, American irish etc. We have brainwashed ourselves into making everything into a “grass is greener “ scenario and it’s tearing us apart.

      @ My point is, that any family who has been away from their respective parent country for several generations and has no real connection (other than being “pen pals”) is pretending to have ties that no longer exist. We might identify as German American or whatever but if we travel to Germany, we’re nothing more than tourists to them; despite how we fancy ourselves.
      I’m not saying we should forget about our heritage but it’s a shame that we would rather portray ourselves as foreigners in our own country rather than being absorbed into it. Most holidays in America have lost their cultural significance and have been reduced to a sales pitch and we would be better off not pretending that we’re different; when we are really no longer anything other than American.
      I don’t expect anyone else to care it’s just my personal opinion. Murica!

      Obviously it will be.
      DEI is an agenda to give everyone an equal solution and endpoint. Not an equal opportunity.
      It’s literally in the acronym. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Equity, by definition, means arriving at the same outcome.
      It is about giving people with certain skin colors or identities an unfair advantage over others, where, in reality, we need to give people an equal CHANCE. That is what makes America great. Is that with hard work, everyone has a chance to be great.
      That is what MLK stood for. “I have a dream that my children will be judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
      DEI is literally judging by skin color.
