Welcome patriot!

Whoa down-voted into oblivion. Instead of cowardly down-voting me in the background, speak your mind.

Your comment seems to imply that you understand the concept of "country" - a landmass and a government that we all belong to - but not the more important historical concept of "nation" - a single people with a shared heritage and a likeness that unifies them.

Why is the second concept more important? If all African Americans suddenly started supporting Trump, they'd still have a separate culture, still have separate interests, would still make it overly complicated for a single government to represent as much of the citizenry's interests as possible, and (given everything we've seen in history) if they moved en masse into your neighborhood it would still likely get shitted up fairly quickly.

You simply welcoming him as a patriot seems likely to speak toward a redditQfag or T_D -tier mentality of "he's black and a conservative? based!", when most of us understand that our identity in-groups go much deeper and last much longer than that, and he'll have to prove his value at a much higher level than that to really fit in around here.

Anyways, that's what jumped to my mind when I saw your comment, and I assume that some of your downvoters probably held a similar view. Hope that explains the ccp.
