Been watching a few videos of Americans going to their " motherlands " . Mexico , south America , Africa , Europe ect. There usually like a few generations removed ya know . And they always think there gonna have some big reconnection and will just flood back into I there roots or whatever. I think every single one they ended up just hating it because all the locals could tell they where Americans and to them it didn't really matter if you had the heritage , you where just an American. You really dont know the culture ,the language , the actual traditions. All the Hispanic guys I work with our here tell me thats how it is if they go and visit family in Mexico. Shoot my green deck hand is Hispanic and he told me when he goes over to visit family and shop he basically has to have once of his local family with him or other wise it gets a lil messy quick .The black people who go to Africa thinking it's gonna be a utopia are usually some of the best ones lol.

I really don't get how it's such a hard concept for people to get that if your from America most of the world just sees you as an American and that's it . Maybe it's because we're so insulated as a country. Wonder if more people traveled out the country and got a wake up call ma he we'd be a lil more united and prideful. Ma he that's what they should start doing , don't like America so much ? Pay for a ticket to the home land , you get there do whatever you want for a month on you done and if you like it there you stay and if you don't you get a flight back and shut up laugh

Your post reminded me of the iconic woman , Bevelyn Beatty. She made history in her opposition of the BLM movement and her tireless support of Pro Life and peacefully protesting abortion clinics. She married Ricky and now is Williams, though I have always liked referring to her as BB.

They made several trips to Africa, and made videos telling how local Africans never believed in calling them African Americans. They were always identified as simply, Americans. No matter what colour a tourist is.

I think all countries refer to visitors as Americans. As it should be.

My family came over as indentured servants. No one made any movies about white slaves.

I wouldn’t mind traveling to Scotland to see if there is any remains left of the ol’ Crawford castle. However I would not feel as I am finally home there. My home is in Georgia, In the good ol USA.

Because that doesn’t fit the liberal white grievance narrative.

Had a layover over that way on or flight to Kuwait years back . Sat down next to a old guy who saw my last name on my uniform and was kinda excited to chat a lil. Offered to buy me a beer

When I travelled around europe in the mid 70s Americans were not liked by most people.A lot of younger Americans travelling in europe that I met during that time would sew a Canadian flag on their pack.Canadians are universally liked everywhere.
The only place that was the exception was southern Ireland.Americans were loved there because they helped the IRA financially in our fight to remove the british occupiers from Northern Ireland.

Yep sure seems Americans are despised almost globally yet our government feels the need to give billions of dollars to other countries that hate us.

I think this is evidence that there is an American heritage and culture that is definable and worth protecting. We should not allow for mass immigration because it doesn’t allow for assimilation at all. This includes everyone from European socialists to African Muslims.

Despite what the left and many conservatives want you to think, there’s more to being an American than just the want to make money.

Well I'd have to go back to Germany, and guess what.
I can live just fine not going at all. laugh
My Dad had to go once when he was in the Army.

And aunt and uncle have been there a few times.
They even went to Esche house/museum.
So some pictures are good by me.


Let me sugar coat this
