An American Gamble: The Un-United States

Americans gamble on an Un-United States that is fractured by ethnic groups that celebrate their immigrant origins rather than their newly acquired country.

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) July 11, 2006 -- Our society today is what one can only call the “hyphenated-society,” according to civil rights commentator James Lowery. He further adds that "Maybe fractured is a better word. A society upon where each ethnic immigrant group holds claims to its own national birth origin with the emphasis placed upon where one has come from and not where one has found new freedom, new lives, new hopes and dreams" is unimaginable.

In this editorial, Mr. Lowery touches upon his childhood and ethnic diversities joining together as American citizens. He further alludes to the gamble this was on our ancestral heritage - but they took the risk and won the jackpot of freedom.

In calling for a serious review of our "hyphenated society," Mr. Lowery states, "Today we hear the terms Mexican-Americans, Arab-Americans, or even African-Americans. How sad to think that a country so united has now become so un-united. Through obvious political mismanagement our leaders have chosen to ignore this tendency towards celebratory ethnicity so divisive and even worse, the violation of immigration laws and the spirit of the common person: its citizens. Like a fog slipping in under a moonless sky, we are suddenly inundated with, well lets just call it, the hyphens," he further stated.
