@hopewithholly: When the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, America was already diverse. About 2.5 million people lived in the 13 colonies. Nearly 500,000 were enslaved Africans. Indigenous nations still occupied large portions of the continent. And among Europeans, it wasn’t just “British.” There were Scots-Irish, Germans, Dutch, French, Swedes, and more — all with different languages, religions, and customs. So when people say we need to “preserve white American culture,” I have a question: Which one? English? German? Dutch? Presbyterian? Anglican? Catholic? Quaker? There has never been a single, pure white culture in America. That’s not how we started. Our history is complicated. It includes injustice, displacement, slavery, and exclusion. But it was never culturally uniform. Diversity isn’t new. It’s foundational. And if we’re going to talk about preserving America, we should start by telling the truth about what it actually was. #america #racismawareness #whitesupreamacists #foundingfathers #diversity

I can’t wait till this country is all mixed and there is no longer race privilege, entitlement, or hate. We are all God’s children, and we all bleed red.🩸✌🏼

imo, and I do NOT feel this way myself, the white culture they want is the 50s when white MEN had it good and everyone else was, at least, marginalized if not worse and some much worse.

And what is “white culture” because my grandfather’s Boston Irish culture is different than my grandmother’s Louisiana French Acadian culture and my dad’s Minnesota Scandinavian culture

You know that moment in It’s a Wonderful Life where George gets to see what the world would have been like without him? someone should flip that lens and show what life in this country would look like without all the different cultures, backgrounds, and communities that built it. No music as we know it. No incredible food traditions. No art, no innovation, no comedy shaped by different lived experiences.
