I'm often confronted with stereotypical assumptions regarding race and politics in America. As an "African American", I find it all a bit confusing and I'm inclined to think that is by design. All too often focus and emphasis seems to be placed on things that are, for the most part insignificant and in the best case not as important as we as Americans are led to believe.

Have you noticed that, in the midst of a supposed push for progress, our attention is constantly directed to the past? If so, you are probably a lot like me in concluding that most often it completely ignores or discounts the tremendous progress that has been made in this country. The United States is far from perfect. To that end, when compared to the other countries we could be living in, it remains the best place in the world to be a citizen. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Being American is not about being a race, it is about prescribing to a culture, the American culture. The American culture is about freedom, liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. Don't get me wrong. race has played and is playing a significant role in American life and politics but I truly believe the issues with race in America have been intentionally amplified. That was done to serve a purpose. Political aims, ambitions, and goals play no small part in that.

Let's talk about it:
