It's all good, man. I know what you mean. I enjoy my cultural heritage, but there's no need to feel detatched. I mean I have cherokee blood in me, and Andrew Jackson was the biggest dick in the world to the Cherokees. But that doesn't make me hate my country, because America is more than what one man does in history. It's what we do collectively.

My roots are that of an American. A citizen who's country was founded on new, enlightening ideals, not some fatass king telling you when to jump and how high. The country that abolished slavery in it's own system faster than any other nation in history. That persued and destroyed blatant racism with vigorous brutality.

I love my country, and I love what it's roots stand for. That is my heritage.
