As are many people that celebrate their heritage. There is nothing wrong with an American celebrating their heritage...be it African, Irish, Italian, Chinese, Arab, Mexican...etc., etc., etc.Patriotism means pretending that Americans all descended from people with fair skin. Celebrating your heritage is frowned upon, unless it is a heritage that doesn't make us real Americans uncomfortable. It is still okay to celebrate St. Paddy's day, for instance.
Bulcrap. You seen a picture of my family lately? We come in all races. We melted. We are proud Americans and many of us have served in the Armed forces.
I collect flags and you will never find one from another country higher than the American flag in my house. Several of my flags are from countries in South America. I also have one from Kenya and one from Japan and one from Canada. The difference is, I recognize that they are not as important as the American flag in this house.
