Americans of different racial backgrounds can build on a shared culture. I have more in common with a black American than I do with a Finnish fisherman; and a black American has more in common with me than with a Congolese farmer. Let's unite around that shared experience.

Finally, don't let institutions like the Washington Post manufacture racism, divide us from one another, and tear this country apart. The elites want to move us into racial retrograde. It's up to us to fight back, build a shared culture, and unite around a common purpose.
