Donald Trump wants to create an America that runs directly counter to the "melting pot" principle on which the country has prided itself for generations.

This isn't an opinion. It is a statement of fact.


quote:

And it's not only racist. It's also anti-American. Because America, since at least the early days of the 20th century, has prided itself on notion that this country -- more than any other in the world -- is a melting pot. It doesn't matter where you came from, how you got here or what your native language is. We are all Americans -- not reduced by the tremendous diversity of those who came to this county but bettered and bolstered by it.

That's literally the whole point of America. It's not a homogenous bloc of look-alikes and sound-alikes. It's a heterogenous mix -- a big, at-times messy experiment, in how our different lived experiences (and our variant pasts) can inform a better present and future.


They really don't want to talk about Epstein.

I keep seeing headlines saying “four” when he never used a number or singles anyone out by name.

The problem is people who come here don't want the 'melting lot's either.

What they want is more like a six-burner stove with separate pots for each color/ethnicity/gender.

The only "melting" is the snowflake melts. The U.S. is now more like a collage where each different "group" retains its own separate identity and there is no common culture or ideal.

CNN trying to do the work for these folks. They are continuing the message that it's us versus him.

Well said.
The new "melting pot" has a bunch of lumps and chunks in it that can't be stirred out.

That's interesting. I didn't realize that Trump was the first President ever to pass Immigration laws, have physical barriers between US & Mexico, and have Customs in place to vet everyone coming into the country.

So former Nazis that came here after the war are all cool and we shouldn’t have ever deported any of them? Is that what your saying CNN???

Didn’t we just deport some 95 year old guy in January who had been here for over 50 years?

Dat’s right. A clitless raghead from Somali that we so graciously host, but still hates you and this country, is more American than you or I. And don’t you forget it, bigots.
