Much needed read Cecil. You’ve hit the nail on the head. America’s identity crisis is causing all kinds of downstream problems. We are American first and foremost. That essential identity is the source of our power. Without it we are finished.

And thanks for the shout out on my book

I believe your book is a must read and should be in high schools and colleges everywhere.

I appreciate you. I had to put on my thinking cap and do some critical thinking to figure out who you are but now I know.

RB. LOL

We should embody the spirit of the Tuskegee Airmen, like when they came back to the US and were discriminated against in the cities and towns where they lived. Like my mother that could not celebrate her college graduation in 1951 anywhere in Chicago that was not in a black neighborhood except a burlesque show. No racism to see here, just close your eyes. Maybe Trump would have let you rent one of his apartments that he kept other blacks from living in, you just needed to talk nice to him and tell him you were willing to put down other blacks like your essays seem to have no limit for doing. White people will always shower you with accolades as long as you actively call the liberals and other blacks in government corrupt. Shameful.

Again you read my essay to be offended. It's time to let go of 1951 and feeling oppressed at every turn. I'm pretty sure I never mention Trump in my essay but amazingly you bring him up. I guess I ain't black as per Joe Biden. If you can show me something I said that isn't truth, I'm open to hearing about it. If you read what I write (which apparently fascinates you cause you've read a lot of my essays) I call out both parties. Our government as a whole is corrupt. Try to live your life in the year 2024. To wallow in the stink of the past is shameful.

When the Tuskegee Airmen returned to the US they were treated like second class citizens in their own country. Vivek said there is no such thing as a white supremacist. Both of you are naive and full of it.

Again you didn't really read my essay.

"We must embody the spirit of the Tuskegee Airmen, who fought for a country that had not accepted them as Americans, because they believed in the concept of what is the American dream; not a place but an idea and a vision they loved."

This sentiment was made multiple times throughout my essay.

There are pockets of people who maybe white supremacist but it's not rampant like you make it out to be.

Ann Coulter's advocacy of White Nationalism superseded Vivek Ramaswamy's call for Civil Nationalism -- and the response on his face was wildly laughable.

An interesting sales pitch for a fantasy. Christianity conflicts with critical thinking -- and is a chauvinistic murderous cult, as clearly illustrated by a pattern of historical facts. The European Doctrine of Discovery is very troubling.
