Most Americans don't realize - their country - while the best and magnificent - is an infant around 200+ years.
And it's allowed itself to turn its melting pot into a mosaic ....and soon tribes, factions and castes. It's already visible to those not culturally or historically ignorant - that means 95% of Americans won't realize it - until it's official and believe me - it will be one day.
Here's to the Somali community in Minneapolis, may they advance their cause by any means they deem fit. Since the mid 2000s I've made a modest buck helping 1st generation immigrants milk the system financially. Reducing tax bills, reducing inheritance taxes, etc. The TMF board made it a passion of mine in the mid 2000s and today - lol - you should see the wonderful homemade lamb I'm treated to for Eid and the homemade Roti during Diwalis. LOL. After 10-15 years - there's families getting Social Security checks, paying zero taxes on real estate income.....and honestly they had no idea the stuff was possible. There's a small handful of H1B visas overstayed their visa term - and are now permanent residents doing I.T jobs - that last one - to me - is not just Netflix and Chill - it's IMAX and Climax. Mind you - the groups I focused on had excellent family values, frugality, and valued education so you have to tailor the advice accordingly.
Somalis - and certain other groups I only had brushes with. My belief was and is - they need to populate the hell out oof government jobs. Apply apply apply, work work work, and then when in position to hire - hire more Somalis. These are good steady jobs, good work schedules, EXCELLENT benefits and pensions. And focus on local and state - much easier to get those gigs. Milk the taxpayer money with little intent to blend in. But I always had a hard to getting a rapport going on this one. Didn't amount to much but hopefully there's strength in numbers and hopefully they are doing this in Minneapolis.
Where it comes to Europe especially - and then America, We Shall Overcome is to be replaced by - We Shall Overwhelm.
Also, the more people who DON'T see themselves as American and don't give a hoot about America, history, etc...it will be easier to shred the Bill of Rights and "Democracy!" that some pretend to care about.
I gotta lay off fast food. I want to live long enough to watch all of this unfold.
