That any person, black or otherwise, doesn’t realize how privileged and lucky they are to be a citizen of the USA in 2023 is astonishing. That said, I’ve never heard a black person say how fortunate they are to have had ancestors brought here as slaves, and that in many ways, they paid a price for THEM. If it weren’t for their ancestor slaves, they’d still be in Africa.
As a naturalized citizen, it’s really frustrating to hear leftists drone on about the evils of America. They have ZERO understanding of what real oppression looks like, yet they all claim ‘oppressed’. It’s so cringe.
I believe Muhammed Ali did say: “Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!” so, there is at least one.
I agree. Leftists don’t know what it is to live under real tyranny.
Me?
I have never lived under real tyranny, at least not worse than what we are approaching with real government persecution of private citizens and a legal double-standard where we live by one set of rules, and those who are destroying this government live by another set.
But with all that, I love this country I was lucky enough to be born into. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the opportunities granted to Americans, and thankful I had the opportunity to serve my country and be rewarded with that experience and life lessons learned from it.
That is why I am taking the deliberate destruction of it so hard.
