So true. I was responding to the “virtue signaling “ of the post. Even the Indians came from somewhere else.

To be fair this is Indian land stolen by the Spanish and then the Mexicans. I have to admit though I’d like to see California become part of Mexico again.

Maybe our presidents should actually follow the constitution they have sworn allegiance to. One example is Obama who claims to be a constitutional scholar. It’s almost comical if it wasn’t so sad. He allowed spying on millions of Americans without probable cause. He ordered the drone murder of two American citizens without due process. He started wars without a declaration of war from Congress.
He claimed to have the most transparent administration in history and this did turn out to be true but only because of Snowden.

Is it also possible that generally humans are “hard wired” to be tribal and Xenophobic? It’s discouraging to me seeing that the Catalonians and Basques who have lived in Spain since the country existed have still not assimilated and most would probably want their own countries if Spain allowed it. Most also profess to have the same religion. Their are examples all over the world and if humans can’t come up with Ethnic or religious differences they invent “gangs”.

You mentioned that sharecroppers were poor black farmers. My wife’s ancestors were white sharecroppers in the south. There was” equal opportunity ” debt slavery. Not all issues have to be cast in black vs white.
