Kapernick is a liar

She did ask me though "Is there going to be a time where we can just be Americans and then talk about these other people?"

So there might be a light at the end of the tunnel for all of us.

Americans vs Others.

We should frame the debate that way.

This.

This right here is the way forward.


It was back in the early 90's that Jesse Jackson wrote to me trying to get me to enroll in his "Rainbow Coalition", when I was attending the University of North Carolina on a "Native American" scholarship. I wrote back and told him I wasn't interested, as everyone I knew was some color of the rainbow, so trying to promote some colors over others was disingenuous and, well, just plain wrong.

I believe it was Graham Greene, who as I recall, is Lakota, who pointed out that hyphenated "Native-American" is utter bullshit, since everyone born here, regardless of color, is a "native", by definition.

Just be Americans if you live in America. Separating by race, or any other criteria, is by definition Segregation. So just be Americans.


I don't see a problem redefining the debate as between "Americans" and "Others" - i.e. anyone who DOESN'T identify as simply America, who insists on identifying as something other than America, to include hyphenated IDs like "Muslim-American", "African-American", "Irish-American", "Italian-American", "Native-American", "Hispanic-American", etc. The one thing I notice in ALL of those identifications is that "American" comes in SECOND in their ID, not first.

I don't need those kind of alleged "americans".
