Another great Victor Davis Hanson column.

Thanks to Stephanie Souders for pointing it out. Some snippets but read the whole column.

• Because of the unique success of post-Civil War America in avoiding a Bosnia, Rwanda, or Syria, and given the nation’s lofty pretensions from its very founding, Americans often demand perfection as a requisite for being good—without much cognizance of what still passes for normal in Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Not being a race- or class-obsessed Saudi Arabia, India, or Mexico may be a low bar, but some economically developed countries, such as South Korea and Japan, remain mired in racialist orthodoxies.
  
• That few progressives in 2020 are currently running on platforms with concrete ideas about how to stop the urban slaughter—the great American tragedy of our age—should tell us that racially-driven outrage is largely politicized.
  
• The one reason there are so many fake Jussie Smolletts or Covington psychodramas or Duke Lacrosse constructs or notions like microaggressions—or careers such as those of the clownish Al Sharpton (the anti-Semite, past purveyor of hatred, and tax-dodging racist)—is that ubiquitous white supremacy has largely become a thing of the past.

I, and all right thinking Americans, welcome all immigrants who  want to come here to embrace a culture of independence and self-sufficiency with Government protecting their, and our, ability to pursue those dreams. If they want to come here to go on the dole and get paid for coming - JUST STAY OUT.

Immigration without assimilation (to the real ideals

of the American dream) is Invasion.
