Look at us. What have we become, a nation consumed by our differences, differences that once made us great in diversity? A strength now seen as a weakness exploited by our detractors as the seat of systemic racism and social inequities. They have turned us on ourselves. Our Constitution, from its founding, promised equality to all its citizens. Albeit requiring greater clarity in our maturation as a nation, we had risen to those occasions and done so. But we are now told not enough has been done, that racism and injustice remain festering in our society and that retribution and affirmative action must be taken. Our meritocracy compromised, assuring endless strife as we are a nation of ethnic and racial differences. Enough of this self-flagellation; we are united as Americas, having more in common than differences; let's start acting like it. Don’t let special interest groups, dissidents, and anarchists, whatever their stripe, do asunder.
