My initial response to just the title of this piece was – Amen! Hallelujah! It's about time someone spoke common sense about one of the most divisive factors in our society. We somehow lost our way of integrating people into American society and this could be a huge step in restoring it.
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King famously said: "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." That will never happen unless we reject the politics of division and embrace a new culture of unity.
We need to stop categorizing each other by skin color and race. I propose that from the 2017 Martin Luther King Day forward, there be no more hyphenated Americans. Let us cease calling ourselves Native-American, African-American, Hispanic-American, Irish-American, Italian-American, Jewish-American, Asian-American, or any other ethnic or national bifurcation. We are Americans.
