The melting pot was a lie and has never worked ever in human history. The "Melting Pot" of America was whites of different nationalities putting aside their differences to work together.
This is what few people realize. The original intent was people from different European nationalities, mainly of Germanic and Anglo descent. I.e Germany, nords, Brits, French, Dutch. There was a lot of opposition to allowing Slavic and Italian/ Mediterranean immigrants to come here and for a long time they weren’t considered “white”
The American political and justice system is uniquely a Western European concept that isn’t really accepted by other races. They just have different values

Well, that’s a terrible take. The economy in the late 70’s was absolutely terrible. Ronald Reagan was elected, then he took office in 1981. He forced us into a recession to squash inflation, then we began the greatest economic run in the history of the world - a run that has gone for 40 years!

that is wrong. The Fed forced us into a bad recession, NOT Reagan. He voiced opposition. (I think the Fed did the right thing,BTW). The 2nd part is wrong too. Reagan increased the fed budget by a greater % than any prez in my life, he signed 11 tax increases, more than doubled farm welfare, put the idiot drug war on steriods, increased OSHA's reach, put in SS increases that we live with to this day & increased protected US products 100%!!!! Mortgage rates in the 80s > 70s. UE averaged 7.5% & inf was 4.4% when he left office.
However, the myth is lovely ain't it?
Reagan "conservatism" is akin to Madonna virginity.

The phrase Reagan tax cuts refers to changes to the United States federal tax code passed during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. There were two major tax cuts: The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 and the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The tax cuts popularized the now infamous phrase "trickle-down economics" as it was primarily used as a moniker by opponents of the bill in order to degrade supply-side economics, the driving principle used to promote the tax cuts. The first tax cut (Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981) among other things, cut the highest personal income tax rate from 70% to 50% and the lowest from 14% to 11% and decreased the highest capital gains tax rate from 28% to 20%.[1] The second tax cut (Tax Reform Act of 1986) among other things, cut the highest personal income tax rate from 50% to 38.5% but decreasing to 28% in the following years[2] and increased the highest capital gains tax rate from 20% to 28%
Where do people like you come from? Wikipedia link
Reagan may very well have signed 11 tax increases, but he was a gigantic net tax reducer.

A lot of folks misunderstand what minority actually means. It just means whites will be 49% of the population. Whites will still drastically outnumber everyone, and are still around 50% of infants each year.

Of course that is wrong. His 1981 "tax cut" RAISED the avg. person's taxes mainly due to bracket creep. Cutting the top tax rate might make for nice fodder for the sheep, but it does little for the avg. person. EX. In the 30s the top bracket was massively reduced. it affect 1 person's taxes. ONE. UNO. 1. Google it. ALso.... 4 the BIG GOV apologist:
federal spending as percent of GNP in 1980 as 21.6%, and after six years of Reagan, 24.3%. A better comparison would be percentage of federal spending to net private product, that is, production of the private sector. That percentage was 31.1% in 1980, and a shocking 34.3% in 1986. So even using percentages, the Reagan administration has brought us a substantial increase in government spending.
AHHH, sweet myths. GO TEAM GO!

I don't agree with this statement. Just because the demographic profile of America changes, doesn't diminish its stature as a nation.
Alexis de Tocqueville said in the 19th century, "America is a great nation, because America is a GOOD nation." Diversity, equity and inclusion make us a stronger people, and develop a moral and ethical resolve.

So does that mean you agree with Trump's approach, or you disagree with it?
