This "real american" stuff that Palin started is gospel on the right. And it's incredibly condescending.

I don't think Palin started it. It was definitely around during the W years.

True, but she made it a big theme.

True. She also shortened it to "real America."

Palin also talked about the pro-America parts of America. Well, those areas look pretty pro-Russia to me right now

She can see Russian collusion from her house

Or even a woman in LA or Miami,Or an asian decent in Tulsa.Or the athiest across the street.WE all are the quilt of America. Not one group!

Mexican from Michigan. My dad was the biggest patriot I've ever known. His dad was most probably a dreamer.

I love my country, which is why I fight with my voice for what I believe it is supposed to be. We come in all shapes, sizes, colors. Diverse

Doesn't matter what they think. They will lose. America isn't what they think it is.

It doesn't matter what we think until we can win elections again. We must not forget that we lost, understand why, fix the problems and win

Agree that we must win elections, but it absolutely matters what we think.

Depends on how you define "American".

Nope, just how racist one is.

It takes a racist to say that a billion times.

Nope, it doesn't. If you don't think all races have an equal shot to be American or aren't already, you're racist. Pretty cut and dry.

You're a Program Director yet you resort to ad hominem to make your argument; which is dismissive, condescending and unprofessional.

I'm not a program director in any sense of the word. I'm just speaking with you as a person.

But by the definition of racism, if you believe one race is better or worse at ANYTHING b/c of race, you're racist. Pretty simple.

A racist is someone whose views, prejudices & or actions are informed by racial preconceptions. Race is integral to their every discourse.
