WADR, America is the most EXCEPTIONAL country in the history of this world. We have nothing to apologize for, and its certainly no DISEASE! :cursing:
You are entitled to your opinions, but you are NOT entitled to have all of us agree with you.
Americans have every right to be proud of this country, and its history. :hmm: :v We are all the more remarkable because of our Horrendous past, and our willingness to correct ourselves, to make this country greater.
[ We fought a civil war, that cost the lives of over 600,000 Americans to finally end Slavery in this country and form a more perfect UNION.
We paid reparations to the surviving Japanese Americans interned wrongly in concentration camps in WWII here in this country, to atone for that error.
We passed new laws, in '52-'53, that made ALL Native born persons American Citizens, that recognized both Asian Americans, and American Indians as American Citizens for the first time.
We passed laws in the Mid'60s that ended civil rights abuses to Black Americans.
And, two weeks ago, we finally extended the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution to apply to States and their political subdivisions, so that Blacks and Non-white people can no longer be denied the right to own firearms for self defense by state laws and municipal ordinances, overturning, finally, the Supreme Court Decision in DRED SCOTT vs. SANFORD( 1856).] :thumbsup:
No other country or society has done so at its OWN initiative. :shocked2: :idunno: :hmm:
The fact that Hollywood doesn't get it right is Nothing new, nor does anyone expect Hollywood to do so. Gibson didn't get the Scottish History correct in Braveheart, either.
Hollywood is in the business of ENTERTAINMENT, not producing accurate histories about anything. Even the "History Channel" has fallen victim to the Hollywood producers. Consider " Monster Quest".
I rest my case. :hmm: :hatsoff:
God Bless the United States of America. :hatsoff: :hatsoff:
