Hold up partner...first let's agree that we can disagree and still have a beer together. Our founding fathers were men just like you and me...sinners and not perfect.... while the intent of Constitution said one thing...the reality was way different for the Native Americans and African Americans. Entire nations wiped out or moved to reservations....visit some in your beautiful state of Arizona...I am sure they will be happy to hear your speech..or go to Cabrini Green in Chicago... oh wait...it's gone...go to parts of the south and east and talk to them about the constitution. Learn the language... yes that ln makes sense...on same token...look at most folks in Europe and Asia..and more now in Middle East...they speak several languages....respect our heritage? Don't think so Bubba...how quickly you forget signs in restaurants and hotels ..No Dogs, Negroes or Mexicans Allowed. Jim Crow era, KKK era, voting and gerrymandered ploys to keep Republicans in office even when population didn't reflect it, second rate education and facilities for minorities..sending minorities in greater numbers compared to whites to 'NAM...why do you think the hippies came up in 60s? If you say drugs you are wrong...why protest of convention in Chicago? And it was the Democratic Convention not Republican. So I don't know what great heritage you are talking about. I think it's great that folks keep in touch with their culture....America is Not the Borg.... we can't all be blue eyed blonde folks. That would be too Twilight Zone.... stop listening to talk shows and Fox TV...try something novel...reading a history book..but not one printed in Texas....ajuuaaa On Mar 12, 2016 9:56 AM, "Rory Conaway" <[email protected]> wrote:
