American Civics Promotes Continuation of our Republic

 Public Affairs: "The American republic rests upon the foundation of “E Pluribus Unum” — out of many, one. Although the Founders knew from their own experience that a vast diversity in outlooks and opinions would be present among the country’s citizens, they understood that such diversity must rest upon principles and practices we hold in common. It is up to each generation to make sure that this foundational unity remains intact."

If People Want To End Racism - "Stop Talking About It"

 I was impressed with a televised interview of Morgan Freeman, but who voted for Barack Obama twice. What he stated about racism and the silliness of creating one month just for "Black" history while it is only a segment of the history of the United States once dubbed the "Melting Pot" nation. If there is to be an African American history month, what about Asian Americans, Native Americans, Irish Americans, etc.? Racism cannot possibly be ended if people continue to identify themselves based upon skin pigmentation or lack of it. "Blacks" & "Browns" originated from Africa, so why not identify them as African Americans if people no longer want to be identified as "Negro". Ironically, those who prefer to be called "Black" Americans have no idea that the term "Negro" derives from the Spanish word for "Black". It demonstrates how ridiculous "political correctness" is and instead of being dispensed with it has developed into what people are calling the "cancel culture" that is definitely become just as bias as racists in another century.
