We Are All Americans


I saw on national news last week that a political party nominated a black female for governor.  She could be the first black female governor.  I also saw that a political party nominated an openly gay Latina for governor in another state, and she would be the first openly gay Latina governor.  Why is this making the news?  I did not see any news stories about any gray haired, brown eyed, Lutheran, Norwegian/Americans who had been nominated for any office. 
Why do the media and political parties continue to divide this country based on race, gender, religion, and sexual preference?  Are they intentionally trying to divide this great republic?  They continually attempt to allow special interest minorities to control the majority, letting the tail wag the dog. 
We are all Americans and everyone should be given an equal opportunity.  This should not mean giving special preference to any minority or special interest group in hiring or college admissions. 
When I watch pro basketball, I see a disproportionate number of black players compared to that in the general population.  Does this mean the NBA should put a moratorium on hiring and playing African/Americans?  Of course not, the team owners, managers, and coaches want to play the best athletes in order to win.  This should also be true in business, government, and university admissions.  The best candidate should be hired, appointed, or admitted, regardless of race, gender, creed, or sexual preference. 

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness  -
                                        The Declaration of Independence

        It is impossible to give an advantage to one group of people without discriminating against other groups.  We have made mistakes in the past, but we cannot rewrite history by discriminating against other groups.  We must learn from history.
This great country has been divided along race, gender, religion, and sexual preference lines to a dangerous level that has and will continue to hurt the country.  We must stop this divide.  We are all Americans and we should act like it. 

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
