Do you think Americans are more prone to believing conspiracy theories than other Nationalities?

Exactly!@SW-User

@HannibalAteMeOut brb, buying a cargo ship

Why not? It's as real as anything else they believe in.

@Frank52 Exactly, lol

@REMsleep Yes, but maybe you should read the rest of the "we" part. That "we" part hasn't really been proven right in the last 4 years of political discourse. Far from it.

If you read the entire part about me saying "African American", this part of your reply would also not be needed. You are just agreeing with what I said.

Yeah, you are an American to the core... except that you agree that a lot of Americans aren't on the same page with you. You did it in your 2nd paragraph. [i](well actually it's your 3th paragraph, because you used the "quotes" wrong, but I don't hold that against you)[/i]

The entire based on looks thing, is kinda important to the illusion of "nationality", which is the word I questioned in the original post. But looks ain't everything, when it comes to nationality the question remains if looks are everything. There are verry strict interpretations that are based on blood lines when it comes to nationality. In the past, they had some really bad results.

@bijouxbroussard Even if things aren't "stolen" there wille be a discrepancy. I see it all around our mining towns where Italians, Turks and Maroccans once came to mine the coalmines. After 2 generations, the detachment of their counrty of origin already created a break up. Why? Because they aren't mingling in the country of origin annymore, but they are mingling in the country where they are now. The 2nd generation, already has a way lesser attachment to the country of birth. They only get their information from their moms and dads that still have a bond, the stories they tell, and sometimes the newsnetworks they still follow. But the connections with the actual people over there grow less and less tight. They swallow a lot more information from the country they are in now, the emotional attachment to things that are happening in the country of origin grow less strong and they more and more get attached to the dataset they are living in now. The dataset of the country where they were born and grew up in.

The entire roots thing, actually becomes a problem for integration. Because the more you attach yourself to it, the more it becomes an obessesion, the less you can assimilate in the nationality that you are supposed to be having because you grew up there. What is even more fascinating, is that people that get obsessed with their roots, often go to look for some kind of purity in that idea. Start wearing clothes and reading literature from the country of origin, and lessening the bond to the nationality that is to be the tribe of the country you are born in. And at the end of the day, it's all a farce and make believe. People from Turkish origins that live here and consider themselves "Turks" even though they never been over there and speak the tongue with a heavy dutch/french [i](depending on where you grew up over here)[/i] accent, would be mocked over there. The only people that use this national identity to their benefits are traditionalist-politicians, like Erdogan, that invoke this sentiment of being a true Turk to lure those with a double nationality on paper to the voting boot. In Turkye, these people would be a mockery of an immigrant in a severe form of identity crisis.

Your last paragraph is a visual thing, which is a sad part of how humans think today. However, if in Senegal or Nigeria you would open your mouth, you would be perceived as exotic as you were in some small county in France.

And [b]again[/b], that gets back the uniqueness of the African-American experience. Initially, most immigrants came here with the intention of assimilation, met various degrees of resistance from those who’d settled here earlier. In spite of this, it would be naive not to acknowledge that the Founders did envision this as a “white” country.

That’s why they removed the indigenous people and placed them on reservations, forced them to change their names and even prevent their children from learning tribal languages. It’s the reason for the Chinese Exclusion Act and comparable laws, which restricted immigration of Chinese, limited it to specific laborers, no Chinese women and children.

And especially, the Africans who were brought here with no choice did not have the option of assimilating. Even free blacks had restrictions on where they could live, work, go to school, with whom they could associate or marry. Laws that were still in place during [b]my[/b] lifetime. “Separate but equal” (and of course it wasn’t). That was what interfered with integration—a country with laws prohibiting it—not later attempts by people exploring their roots.

@Harriet03 Yes they are. Have you ever used a telescope before. 🤔

@Zonuss Yes, and I got the black circle around my eye!!
Why do people find that funny?

@Zonuss That's what NASA and the airplane compagnies want you to think 🤔

@Carissimi 👍Exactly!

I don’t think many know the definition of a conspiracy. @Oster1

@Carissimi I belive that you are very correct in that comment. It’s unfortunate.😔

@Nanori such a meaningful and pure name 😌

@Nanori Yeah it was aired on our channel as well. Meanwhile we had a 80+ PM, who probably de facto was a lizard, by being born in the mesozoic

@Nanori No Jim Morrison was the lizard...king.[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kc9co0psCs]

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether [quote]poorly educated and dangerously naive people [/quote] sums up perfectly what conspiracists are and why they exist

@SW-User Not a hope in hell😂😂

@Dlrannie I'd pay to see him punting 😂

@SW-User didn't know that or forgot - interesting

@softspokenman But it will, 121 days from now. It will be like a miracle, the churches will be packed! I hope you already reserved your places at the restaurant, cause it's going to be like New-Years eve 2020-2021 without lockdown measures. 🐣

@softspokenman 😅

@morrgin plenty of Americans don't believe the Holocaust happened 😢

@REMsleep I liked your comment, there is no doubt, in my opinion.🤗

@JeanAnna They're brainwashed.
