What is Being Un-American Anyway?

 
     
 
     
 
 

In my neck of the woods, and in all probability, I could work with being called Un-American.  I mean what is being Un-American anyway? Who defines it?"  Who's even qualified to define it?  Is it the blatant refusal to wear leather western boots, Levi jeans and a cowboy hat while drinking "Bud" and smoking "Marlboros?"  Or is it when a third generation American family still indulges in their ancestral customs and language while living in the same America as the rest of us?  I guess That's why the mere thought of being called "Un-American" doesn't sting so terribly...because it's indefinable!
 
Now being called a "Racist?" That would be a big "OUCHY" because racist hate and racist live in a world of division. In a country full of evolution.. a concept such as racism should be completely extinct by now... or at the least on the seriously endangered list... like the white tiger for instance.
 
THE BOTTOM LINE:


RACISM CREATES HATRED.. HATRED BREEDS TERRORISTS.. AND TERRORISM IS DEFINITELY "UN-AMERICAN!" ...HUH???
