How can that ever take place, when so many of those Americans who always call themselves 'Victims', intentionally perpetuate their own victimization with intentional separation from the rest of society, with self-imposed labels? Labels which instantly segregate them from other American citizens, adding their hyphenated pre-American identity! How, may I ask, are we as a people who hope to come together, ever going to eliminate the social divisiveness, when we choose to be ever divisive, merely by furthering the growth of discrimination in America, by singling out our identities as different Americans? Isn't it odd, how so many Americans enjoy the freedoms, rights, and liberties of citizenship, solely as Americans, yet they insist on using such blatent, discriminatory descriptive words, as a means to further separate themselves from an otherwise welcome society? I believe Black, and African Americans are well intentioned, and take great pride in their heritage, without question. But, I also believe the nearly blind, intentional hurt which comes from their need for an identity separate from all other citizens as other than Just Americans, becomes totally counter-productive to the reduction of racial discrimination, and are aiding the continued divide throughout America through the use of the words which oppose, the dreams and wishes of those two great men in our History. Though no American has any right to prevent your rights, as either a Black, or African American to be identified in any way you like. It seems to me, personally; no-matter what descriptive terms you may use, as either a Black American, or African American to retain your identity, based on your heritage. You are doing a great, unintentional disservice, and injustice to millions of other Americans, of all races, who sincerely want to eliminate the constant divisiveness between races of all colors. Therefore. As your fellow American. A fellow American who bears no labels because of my ancestry, skin color, or religious beliefs. I cannot, and will not bow to the unwritten expectations of other Americans who follow the strict codes of political correctness. Political correctness has corrupted our society, almost as an unspoken means to further the separation, divisiveness, and segregation of Americans, rather than act as a force of good. That same political correctness, in my opinion, has merely become an umbrella of false safety, in which All Americans will remain divided. Because of political correctness; which many Americans accept, without question. All Americans are forcefully challenged to speak in a whisper, or to remain totally silent due to the almost totally acceptable, inbreded fear of expressing one's opinion. Opinions which might,and often do, offend other Americans, and prevents the sharing of idea's, or even normal conversation between nearly all Americans. Whenever I think of Dr. King as an American first; not as a white American, or German American. I wonder How many more, than the forty years since John F. Kennedy was killed, will the Black or African American community in America continue to be lulled, duped, abused, or betrayed by those who claim to represent your community while they selfishly attempt to maintain the divisiveness of Americans for their own benefit, or monetary rewards? Of course. Many of you know of whom I speak, and are intelligent enough to recognize the outright fraud those people are successfully bringing down on their own people. Jesse Jackson, and friends cannot be successful, nor remain convincing, if you, as a fellow American, suddenly recognize, and accept how Mr. Jackson and friends are simply playing You as illiterate CHUMPS? What do you think Dr. King would be saying today, about the continued, almost businesslike continued race baiting, divisiveness, and exploited charges of discrimination, fostered by Mr. Jackson and friends today? Would he be happy? Whether you wish to believe me, or distrust my intentions for addressing you, as either a Black American, or as an African American, is your choice. But, no matter what you may think of my intent. I long for the day, just as Dr. King, and JFK did. When each of us can look upon one-another, as nothing less than Honorable "Un-hyphenated" Americans!
