“ Wielu białych w tym kraju poczucie wyższości ma w genach. Nienawidzą nas. To nawet nie ich wina, rozumiem ich, taka jest Ameryka, tak została zbudowana. Dlatego przyszedł Trump, on uosabia tę całą nienawiść. Nigdy nie było bardziej amerykańskiego prezydenta. ”

“ During the period of Jackson's military and executive power, a mythology emerged that defined the contours and substance of the US origin narrative, which has weathered nearly two centuries and remains intact in the early twenty-first century as patriotic cant, a civic religion invoked in Barack Obama's presidential inaugural address in January 2009 : "In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.

Our journey has never been one of During the period of Jackson's military and executive power, a mythology emerged that defined the contours and substance of the US origin narrative, which has weathered nearly two centuries and remains intact in the early twenty-first century as patriotic cant, a civic religion invoked in Barack Obama's presidential inaugural address in January 2009 : "In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.

For us, they fought and died in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh. Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction. This is the journey we continue today." Spoken like a true descendant of old settlers. President Obama raised another key element of the national myth in an interview a few days later with Al Arabiya television in Dubai. Affirming that the United States could be an honest broker in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he said: "We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect. But if you look at the track record, as you say, America was not born as a colonial power." The affirmation of democracy requires the denial of colonialism, but denying it does not make it go away. ...more ”
