Even those from diverse backgrounds that have been able to find success struggle with being inclusive once they have got theirs. We will not move forward as long as we think that all we need to do is eliminate those that don't believe or think the same way "we do!" If we just get rid of them all will be okay. No where in the history of man has this worked. As the saying goes, "We have found the enemy and the enemy is us!"


It’s not a zero sum game. As long as, and I’m calling out the right on this one, one side keeps screaming that “your personal and financial failure is due to ‘them’”, and complaining about change and how our “culture” is changing and that’s so terrible, we’re never going to get anywhere.

Change is good if we’re involved and flow with the changes, progress waits for no man, to fight progress always ends up in blood and failure. Better to try to ensure some of what you value survives the changes.

Also, it’s laughable to talk about American “culture “, our culture is the culture of no culture or to put it another way, all cultures mashed together. Unless your a Native American, then you can bitch, but even then, different tribes had different cultures and languages too.

What is an American? This question is what is driving all this division in this country. Historically, white straight Christian male was what was the quintessential American template. That is changing rapidly now and it’s about damn time. ALL Americans should equally be able to access our inalienable right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
