I know you hate America because you are a black socialist like W E B Dubois
reply
“One ever feels his twoness, an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.”
— W. E. B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk (1903), “Of Our Spiritual Strivings.”
Du Bois wrestled with how to make America live up to its ideals. That sounds far more American than telling fellow citizens they don’t belong.
You don’t know me, yet you’ve concluded I “hate America” because I disagree with you politically.
That’s exactly why making political disagreement a test of who belongs is nonsensical and dangerous.
