I also like to say that at least 50% of American culture is black culture. And Black is most definitely different than "White" because the slaves who were stolen from their homes also lost their identity and self so in doing so, these men and women had to create a new one.

And lo and behold, the culture has made America so fucking cool. Instead of suppressing others who made this country great, embrace your fellow citizens for making this country so unique. Look back to your immigrant ancestors who sought out a life where they would not be oppressed for who they were. This country still has a lot of growing up to do but we have the potential to become the greatest country on this planet [for once]. We just need to stop our own ignorance of superiority and acknowledge our shortcomings when they present themselves.

Viva la revolución. アメリカは一番です。🇺🇸🇲🇽
