We should all call ourselves Americans

Our guaranteed Constitutional rights are “human” rights” — in keeping with our one human species. Races are geographically located “human” sub-populations, Africa China, etc., with genetic characteristics that contribute to their appearance. The global, “human” sub-populations (races) in Africa, China, etc., have racial governmental rights — but, their genetic “characteristics or appearances” worn by scattered members in other global locations do not.

If you want African or Hispanic “race rights” you’re in the wrong country, and so are Democrats who promise them. This is America. We’re not exclusive — we represent “all” sub-populations under one identity — “American.”

Our rights are “individual.” Each American has the same guaranteed Constitutional rights to ensure equality: education, property ownership, military service, religion. Each is responsible for their wrongdoing, each protected by due process. Groups, races, minorities, majorities do not have “rights.”

Archive your race in your DNA and integrate. Identities like African-Americans, BlackAmericans or Hispanic-Americans segregate themselves and make themselves unequal “minorities” — which forces integrated Americans into a “majority, where they are slandered as supremacists and racists” — accusations recently used to excuse rioting and destruction.

Government needs to mandate everyone wear the equal “American” identity. “Black and white” are “irreconcilable opposites” Using human skin color for any reason inexcusably pits humans against each other.

Slavery existed — taken for granted. Slaves brought to America were captured in their country, sold, betrayed by their race — not Americans. The wrong was slavery, not racist malice — buyers weren’t given choices. Neither were slaves; we intuitively know those unsold were not taken home.
