I feel that the United States is more United and tolerable to all races then it has ever been. Also, Trumps comments when heard in context, while strongly opinionated, are not racist but nationalistic. Why are you so insistent about promoting 'old homelands' of our ancestors that most modern Americans have never even visited? Why do all three of you spend so much time and effort advocating for specific races and not for the entire population? Why I should I believe you are not the problem?
Thank you for your sharing your perspectiveand posing your questions. It is true that tremendous strides have been made inAmerica toward tolerance and acceptance of different races, religions, genderidentities, sexual orientations, and other traits. That said, such tolerance ishardly universal and there continue to be unacceptable inequities in ourcountry. And even when rights and justice are won for those previously deniedor discriminated against, it is our duty as Americans to ensure that thoserights are maintained and not threatened. I don’t feel that we are promoting‘old homelands.’ Rather I think our intent is to recognize and celebrate thefact that this nation is made up of all types of people from places all overthe world. The promise of our democracy is that everyone is treated equally andfairly and it is up to each and every one of us to push for the fulfillment ofthat promise. If and when we appear to be advocating on behalf of one specificgroup, it is only because they have become visibly and vocally targeted. Infact, though, it is through the defending of individual groups that we do infact advocate for the entire population. Any group could be next; our goal iseliminate that threat so that we can all respect our differences while recognizingour shared humanity.
