It has nothing to do with what is being taught in schools


American pride resonates with most segments of the population, though not with young adults, according to a new poll.
Only 36% of respondents aged 18 to 24 said they were very or extremely proud to be American, a new Issues & Insights/TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics survey found. That made the age group the only tracked demographic in which pride falls below 50%.
The poll found an almost identical percentage (35%) of the 18-24 group saying they are only slightly or not proud at all to be an American.
The results prompted tippinsights to invoke former President Ronald Reagan's observation that, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Dazzler told me that anti-Americanism isn't being taught in our schools because it wasn't being taught to him 50 years ago.

If you are leftish (which most young people are because until they have to work/pay taxes) you have to say you hate the US. Its doctrine now.

Yeah, the racist that was so racist he had a fucking tv show on networks for years, was praised by Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson, dated a black girl, and was roasted on comedy central not long before he ran for President...not a single joke about him being a racist. That racist?TheKobeStopper said:

Yes, racists have never been on tv in America, excellent point.
Yes, he was praised by two people, Sharpton and Jackson, that you guys call racist. Why was he being praised by racists? Excellent point.
So AOC doesn’t hate white people because she’s dating a white guy then? I had sex with a black girl, does that mean I can’t be racist? I’ve dated and had sex with lots of latinas so I’m definitely not racist against them. How fucking stupid.
And then he cites a Comedy Central roast. I know whenever I’m considering if someone is racist or not, the first place I go is the Roastmaster General himself Jeff Ross.
Idiot. -

The point was that Biden has a well documented history of well, actual racism. Not to mention the esteemed young Hunter dropping the n word all over the place.
Trump and his family, not so much
Hth you fucking disgrace to your parents -
Let's get back to the actual point ...
TKS worked at throwing away the original post and comment attributed to Ronald Reagan ...
Regardless of one's thoughts about Ronald Reagan, the reality is that his comment is in fact accurate and we are seeing that with the latest numbers ...
As I've long said even on these boards, anybody that thinks that the United States of America is perfect has their head in the sand ...
That said, there's a lot that the United States of America has gotten right (moreso than really just about any other country or civilization throughout history) ...
And if we're really being honest, the United States has a history of working to try to get better and create that "more perfect Union" ...
Which is the thing that really bothers me the most about seeing the numbers the way that I see them coming in with young people ...
I hate to pull the whole "if you don't like it here then get out" card ... but there's truth in it because I can say with certainty that there are people throughout the world that would give everything that they have to be Americans and take part in all of the freedoms and opportunities that we have.
Even in our worst of days, I'm always optimistic about what is available and what is to come in this country. I never take for granted what it is that we have.
Unfortunately, too many don't appreciate what they have available to them. Too many want to tear down instead of find ways to change/improve. It's sad to see and watch.
And as others noted, there's no question that some of these results start with what is taking place in the education system. It's also true that this is coming from parents/families that are quick to blame others instead of looking in the mirror.
It's really sad ... -

This. Trump is no racist. Just a Class A narcissist. If you love him, he loves you, no matter your color. Turn on him, and he hates you, no matter the color. This shit is so simple and easy to see but millions of CNN watchers were duped into the "racist gambit." Appears TKS is one of them.RoadDawg55 said:

Biden on the other hand actually has a well documented racism problem with quotes from as little as a year or so ago to back it up. It's rough when you call out a former President for saying racist things 40 years ago, when the guy you voted for was still a racist yesterday. Life comes at you fast as a progressive Democrat. Keeping dem blicks on the plantation is HARD work. Causes all kinds of mental gymnastics to be so against racism but yet vote for a racist to FIGHT RACISM.
It's funny when I see all this "White Racism is the Biggest Existential Threat the US Faces!" stuff and to combat it you voted for a proven racist. Imagine believing the former and doing the latter. Imagine being that hypocritical. Nobody who voted for Biden can use the race card. You forfeited your right with your vote. Stop being sanctimonious. Anyone with half a brain sees the logical fallacy. -
