the us still has laws in place were territories aren't given the right to vote "because their alien culture" wouldn't understand white ways. that was written 100 years ago. |

Some founding fathers wanted to make slavery illegal, but they couldn't because the Constitution wouldn't pass if they did. So they compromised and made them 3/5ths of a person. I'm not saying that's not still terrible, but the story isn't *that* simple. |

Who doesnt know that
And that he had kids with one of the slaves
Like for real here. Everyone should know this stuff by Middle school or Highschool lel |

People often ask me what it means to be an American. I tell 'em it's triumph. Triumph. Triumph when we nuke our enemies. Triumph when our flag flutters in the wind on the moon. Triumph when we peer down from the moon and laugh heartily at Russia. Triumph when we depose one dictator after another. Triumph when we break into the homes of terrorist kingpins on the other side of Earth and shoot them in the face. Triumph when we use flying robots to bomb other terrorists in Afghanistan. Triumph when we were the main reason the germans were defeated in WWII. Triumph when we freed Europe twice. |

the deceleration of independence was not about having slaves, it was about being free of english rule -_______- |

>Be me
>Be black
>Ancestors had slaves
>People dont talk smack to me about white privilege because I am black
>Irish people who were actual slaves get pooped on for being white

Triumph. Triumph. Triumph. But it's not just the the big things, see? It's the way I can set up lawn chairs at my friends house on the Texas Rio Grande Border and share a toast to freedom while watching Mexicans charge into gunfire to enter my country. It's the way an Italian cab sits up straight and floors the gas when he hears my accent. It's seeing the wide eyes and bead of sweat running down the forehead of a German customs agent when he opens my pssport. |

It's the way a French waiter hangs his head when I refuse the wine and ask for Coke instead, in English knowing full well he understands me (and that they have it). The way an Aussie blushes and leans into the urinal next to me in the bathroom, or the scowl that meets my smirk when I tip an English waiter in US dollars covered with Washington's face. The way small mobs of Canadian school children follow me from a distance to see what a free man looks like, or how heads timidly rise and women gather when my accent stops the music in the clubs of Amsterdam. Triumph. Every bit of it, triumph. That's what it means to be an American. |

Even better
Remember that poem about Paul Revere saying the "British are coming!"
We'll theye been there for years....and people back then still considered themselves British Lol

no because they were slaves not people being ruled by another country that didnt take the time to understand that we needed to self govern ourselves to solves the problems we had and not let a bunch of fat brits in parliament do it for us. |

@Sencu
Welcome to Controversial America XD
I mean it looks great on the outside
But if you dig deep into our history, you'll see the dark side and things that we have done wrong and bad
Italian Mafia
CIA and Iran
etc
etc
Either way America is a great Country to live in
ALTHOUGH the mafia with a license tax system is a pain lol
its an ok place to live and lots of career options
But you really need an education or you wont go far.
Not Everyone can pop a Quite School and get rich |

yes two cities were bombed to prevent massive causalities that would occur from an entire invasion, which would also drag the war on probably by a couple more months or even years.
such massive casualties that we still use the purple hearts that were made in anticipation for that invasion to this day -_______________________- |
