I have no problem with that and infact since I'm not from Mexico or related to anyone from there or anywhere in the Southern Americas, it's probably not my place to decide on that. In terms of it being cultural heritage.\r\n\r\nYou're right to a certain degree, as far as I know, in that Jim Gilchrist, the CCIR, and others involved will want people to believe they are true American patriots and to be with them is to be American. As an American, I beg to differ. As for America being white, I don't see this nation in that way. I at least don't think that should be the idea of this nation. I know what the National Alliance are about. As for CCIR, Gilchrist, and others, I haven't seen that expressed from them blatantly. But they at least seem to take the idea of being an American citizen to a nationalism-like level.","author":"Jammer CC","parent_id":142832,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-12-31 00:42:09","modified":"2005-12-31 00:42:09","fileurl":""},{"id":142876,"heading":"to clarify","article":"I know that this nation shouldn't be an all white-exclusive nation.
