I'm Native American. I've never heard of anyone of note with the last name Transue. Never seen it in a history book. What has your family done other than reproduce?

Probably took part in the genocide of Native Americans to some degree or the other.
-
I figure the first Transue was an indentured servant who just knew he was somehow better than the "wild Savages" and the "negroes" same as Don just knows he's better than Polish people. Yet I've heard of many Native Americans, African Americans, and Poles... but no Transues

That’s the whole point of racism in the first place. It creates an hierarchy of oppression so that those at or near the top will work with elites to keep the status quo, because ending oppression and that hierarchy risks what little distinction they have.
-
Yup. Funny as Don's genes have owned the place since 1693 yet 315 years later, Don has to post his college degrees in his Twitter handle to show everyone he's made it to the pinnacle of Transue accomplishment—a masters degree

As someone whose parents were "just naturalized" 7 years after arriving in the United States: yes, that Polish family is just as American, and just as equal in their rights, as yours. The Constitution does not use the word "pedigree."

Is American value a floating exchange rate or is it pegged to another country?

I met some of my kinfolk for the first time recently. My ancestors on that side came here in the 1700s. Nothing to brag about. Trust me on this one.

I think he has problems with, “We hold these truths to be self-evident…”

Demanding credit for your ancestors' accomplishments is lame enough, but demanding credit for their choice of place to live is in a whole 'nother league of lameness.

I'm sure he has the very consistent view that if he is somehow endowed with special privileges based on his ancestors' efforts, he bears unique responsibility for the actions they took against Native Americans and those brought from Africa.

Why David Hume? You must be a fan. What do you admire.
-
He is a useful person to bring up in the context of contemporary debates about the "Enlightenment" and "Classical Liberalism." The folks on the right trying to seize those for themselves often run very much afoul of Hume's most famous positions.
-
Are you attempting to wake them from their dogmatic slumber? When I studied Hume I focused less on moral and political philosophy and more on epistemology as my interest was in science, semiotics, cognition, and logic. I am a grad St. John’s College. https://www.sjc.edu/

Yes, I am attemping to show them that they are both substantively wrong in the current positions they hold and wrong about the history of philosophy and the Enlightenment.

In Busines, "But what have you done for us lately?" That was the question a company asked me a year after I made them $2 million. It's a fair question. Yes, your ancestors were great, but what have you done lately for your country?
-
I'm Native. Don's genes have owned the place since 1693 yet Ive never heard of the name Transue in my life. Never read it in a history book, never seen cites, post offices, even backroads with the name. What exactly has Don's family done since 1693 other than reproduce? Nothing.

“This equality nonsense” is part of the US Constitution. You would figure with his deep roots he may have read that at some time.
