It's pretty universally agreed among serious political scientists (liberal and conservative), historians and the like that two of the things that serve to make any nation-state "great" are: (1) the unity of its people, and (2) the beneficial and cooperative role that it plays in the community of nations around the world.

Right now, the United States is more divided internally than at any time since the Civil War, and it has alienated itself from virtually the entire community of nations by the mistaken belief that bullying is strength and blackmail is leadership.

The United States was never a "great" nation per se (i.e., brute force power is not the same as greatness). It was built on the genocide of its native inhabitants, African slavery to produce economic advantage, and systematic exploitation of weaker nations through economic, military, and political strong-arming.

The idea that this latest decent into much more acute internal divisiveness and extreme external bullying is designed to improve the "greatness" of the United States is utterly ludicrous.

I live abroad and traveled a lot all over the world. Never, in nearly a half century of global travel, have I found that foreigners think less of America than they do now. America's international image is in the pits.

The other big potential measure of "greatness" might be economic prosperity, but Americans of all political stripes (e.g., conservative and liberal) are suffering from the most grotesque inequality in the distribution of wealth in America since the Roaring 20s, and this socioeconomic crisis has only grown worse in the past two years.

Thus it is my observation and personal opinion that "MAGA" or "Make America Great Again" is simply another political slogan along the lines of "Change we can believe in"; sounds good to the voters, but it means absolutely nothing in reality.

JAH IS THE SOLUTION

Hemphill, there is no anti-white, anti American garbage. We are still oppressed. Like I said in the beginning you do not have the black experience. It was not meant to be racial. It is true. Our shoes are a bit different than yours. The numerous experiences I have had through life when I wonder why I am I getting treated this way and then when the lets say officer finds out I am not at fault. Then they back off after a little ignorant lip service. Why is it that we get the guilty until proven innocent mess. But, the white person is the person they cater to first. Even in the military. Why is that? You are wrong on so many levels. There was a saying when I was younger: you are not wrapped to tight. I know you are here to cause foolishness, but come on man. We are not here on this forum to fight against anyone. It clearly says Rastafari Haile Selassie. We see that it means nothing to you, because you came in like a raging bull full of bull. Rasta is not political and you are living in the new babylon Mr. Smartman. Your ancestors took this place by force.

Hemphill is the textbook example of the one who bitches and moans about the brainwashing of the media to divide us and then lashes out at every brother on this website constantly as he follows in lockstep with that very same media programming. Every attempt to offer olive branches are slapped away and venom is spit. He epitomizes exactly what I&i refer to in saying that America is as divided as ever. You'd think someone who professes to recognize it would be working by example to defeat the divisiveness instead of aiding and abetting it at every turn.
With the partisan venom and denial he spews, Hemphill should stop wasting his time here on people who couldn't care less and go to work for some conservative propaganda outlet. He's certainly got their shtick down pat.
Oh and BTW, the world does not "love America". That's just plain delusional. If Mr. H would climb up out of his basement, get a passport, buy a plane ticket and fly to just about any country in the world (except perhaps Israel), he'd realize that.

Angel in Zion,

You are spot on. i would note that your references to history are lost on Hemphill. It came through his rantings long ago that he knows nothing of history beyond Rush Limbaughesque cartoons and caricatures. You cannot reason history with a person who knows virtually nothing about it, is unwilling to study and learn, and/or who denies those facets of it which do not fit into his carefully crafted paradigm.
This is a person who is so completely unaware of the external perceptions of his nonsense that he fails to recognize that his unfounded rejection of your personal testimony about your own past treatment is a virulent form of racism in and of itself.

We just have to take the high road over such ignorance.

JAH LOVE AND INITY, BROTHER.

I'VE REPRODUCED VERBATIM BELOW THIS LATEST OFFERING FROM HEMPHILL because i think he has done such a masterful job himself of indicting the very Babylon mentality to which he subscribes. i don't really need to embellish or add anything to it. Here is is from his own hand:

"America is divided because of the lying media making up lies about Trump and conservatives. They are trying to create a new civil war.
Idiots like y'all ramp it up with your anti-white anti-American garbage.
Your entire 'reality' is built upon being a victim. You are not oppressed. Not at all. Its your own expectations for 'reparations', for power through race based guilt that holds you back.. You are not oppressed. You are programmed and mind controlled though.
The world loves America! Just not the lying media that y'all worship.
USA = Greatest country in the world."
