Mr. Franks I agree with you that The United States is indeed the land of opportunity, but where I have some problem with your statement is when you claim that if you are not an American you are an African Amercican or etc...
That implies that there is a difference in the two. I was hoping you would shed some light on what you see that difference to be.
Me personally, I thought an American was an American, thats it-no subdivisions.
If we hold to be true what you stated, does that mean White people are European American? Logically that would follow but to be honest I dont remember the last time I heard a white person being called Eropean American.
I hope this doesnt come off as some verbal assault Mr. Franks, but in order for me to agree or disagree with your statement I must first know what the implied difference is.

Sooo Sooo true. You are either an American,or an African American, korean american, vietnamese american, japanese american, etc.
Teddy Rosey along with several million other wonderful Americans still stand and work and enjoy one of the most vile social cultures on the planet. Its a culture of 'look the other way' and worry about 'it' later.
But truth be told, its still the best place on the planet and as long as you strive to be 'green' ($), you will be just fine in this place. If not, remember, serfdom isnt really so bad, I mean you work, you pay your bills, you have a family, you die, its historically perfect.
