The promise of America has always been that of a fresh economic start on equal footing. This is linked to the classic image of the republic as a melting pot, where differences of class, race, and religion are submerged in the pursuit of democracy. But today the idea of assimilation into the mainstream is giving ground to the cult of ethnicity. While this upsurge in ethnic awareness has had many healthy consequences in a nation shamed by a history of prejudice, if pressed too far, it could fragment American society to a dangerous degree.
In this powerfully argued essay, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. examines the the lessons of one polyglot country after another tearing itself apart or on the brink of doing so, and points out troubling new evidence that multiculturalism gone awry here in the United States threatens to do the same.
Listening Length: 3 hours and 14 minutes

Any such resurgence of forms of ethnic nationalism or identitarian-style politics is indeed a regressive development. The Hapsburg Empire might offer something of an instructive polyglot parallel, in that regard. A more positive alternative would be a healthy civic nationalism, which democracies depend on in order to function. Diverse cultures must work beneficially together - there isn’t really another option available.

News flash Arthur. America is a nation of divided tribes. The Left, the msm and Big Tech made sure that this occurs. An uneducated, manipulated, populous is being led to the financial, political, and moral slaughter of our nation. We are no longer a pluralistic society. Coming from a liberial, this book is quite Conservative.
Are we heading towards Civil War?

“The promise of America has always been that of a fresh economic start on equal footing. This is linked to the classic image of the republic as a melting pot, where differences of class, race, and religion are submerged in the pursuit of democracy.”
So, African chattel slavery 1776-1865. The Civil War was followed by Reconstruction, where Black men could vote and hold office, which was opposed by White Supremacist vigilantes who successful stopped that through lynching, dirty political tricks, etc. That was followed by years of Jim Crow, lynching, and oppression. Then the Civil rigts movement, which was met with more White Supremacist murder, the FBI Cointelpro program, assasination, etc. Then finally 5 years of peace, and now Black Lives Matter wants to disrupt the Republican values of democracy etc. For shame. Oh, did I forget American Indians, the Chinese, etc.?

If we don’t want identity politics, how about not owning, killing and exploiting those whose identity isn’t our own, in effect forcing them to stand in unison to increase their odds of survival?
Your “equal footing” was gained by standing on the backs of others.

I just heard that the mentally challenged left is trying cancel Beyonce for saying “Spaz” in one of her songs, calling it ableism? WTF is that? LOL. These mentally disturbed lunatics can be classified as permanently offended, and definitely deranged. I almost fell on the floor laughing so hard. I’m sure Beyonce did too. They can all go suk Donald Trumps you know what. When the right takes the US back, I hope they shovel all these low IQ sheeple back in the basement where they belong.

I’m sorry your life has gone so catastrophically wrong. Maybe one day you can leave your cum-stinking hovel, learn to interact with real humans and, maybe, even develop enough to be around women without them being terrified.
