American people or Americans are a nation and denizens of the United States. The United States is a multi-ethnic nation, home to people of different ethnic and national backgrounds. As a result, some Americans don’t take their nationality as an ethnicity, but identify themselves with both their nationality and their ancestral origins. Aside from the indigenous Native American population, nearly all Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries. Due to the multi-ethnic composition, the United States is a multicultural nation, home to a wide variety of traditions and values. The culture held in common by most Americans is referred to as mainstream American culture, a Western culture largely derived from the traditions of Western European migrants, beginning with the early English and Dutch settlers. German and Irish cultures have also been very influential. Certain cultural attributes of Igbo, Mandé, Kongo and Wolof slaves from West Africa were adopted by the American mainstream; based more on the traditions of Central African Bantu slaves, a distinct African American culture developed that would also deeply affect the mainstream. Westward expansion integrated the Creoles and Cajuns of Louisiana and the Hispanos of the Southwest and brought close contact with the culture of Mexico.

Road transport was affected in several parts of Telangana in Andhra Pradesh Monday as agitators raised road blockades, demanding separate statehood to the region. The movement of vehicles on national and state highways was disrupted as activists of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other constituents of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) squatted on the roads. Leaders and hundreds of activists in Hyderabad and nine other districts of Telangana were detained as the protests led to several kilometres long traffic jams. JAC convenor M. Kodandaram, BJP leader Bandaru Dattatreya, TRS leaders and a large number of activists were taken into custody at LB Nagar crossroads on Hyderabad outskirts when they blocked the traffic on Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway. Carrying flags of their parties and raising slogans of ‘Jai Telangana’, the agitators squatted on the roads. Some women activists sang folk songs of Telangana to the beat of drum. “The government is using the police to deny us the democratic right of staging a protest. This is unjust,” Kodandaram told reporters as he was physically lifted by the police and put into a van. TRS leader N. Narasimha Reddy and scores of party activists were held when they blocked the traffic at RTC crossroads in the heart of Hyderabad. In Medak district, TRS legislator Harish Rao led the agitation near Siddipet town. Hundreds of trucks, buses and other vehicles were caught in a huge traffic jam on …

@EuphoricImpact dude. dont be a troll. we’re talking about minority rights are we not? you’re gonna DMCA me for defending FDR? srsly?
@EuphoricImpact HAHAhH!!! wtf??
@I asked you a siple question. and you’re WAY overreacting. chill out man. libertarians are all racists. it’s not surprising.
@EuphoricImpact yep. You’re obviously racist.
@oldhacks **Mistake***>”Others the only point your question carries is to defame my character.”~ E I
Correction> The only point your question carries is to defame my character or to take attention away from my comments.
Ammendment>>Surely you would not be intellectually dishonest or rude and throw up a written road block because someone’s point of view differs from yours? If you have anything meaningful to say to me feel free. If not keep it to yourself cause I am not interested.
@oldhacks lol You are deluded if you feel I am racist because I do not agree with the comments you made. Nor do I perscribe to any victim mentality. Your points had no evidence to back them up.
Howver, if I was racist I would claim it because I feel it is important to be honest about your intentions. Now you are welcome to re-read all I said to you. If you have proof that I have been racist do show it. Others the only point your question carries is to defame my character.
@EuphoricImpact are you racist or something?
@oldhacks You can not debunk what is fact. I did not use the word wimp. If we are going to have a conversation then do not put words out I never used. I am not going to argue about it. There are plenty of records that support the claim. You need to take that up with historians. And you can not debunk anything unless you show proof that can be confirmed. Peace
@EuphoricImpact you said FDR was a wimp on race views. I’m clearly debunking that theory.
@oldhacks Are you lonely or drinking oldhacks?
This exchange really is not meaningful…again if you want the last word take it.. I am done and do not wish to continue.
If you leave more messages I may respond tomorrow. If not then oh well. Howvever, do feel free to subscribe to my channel. I am sure you will contribute if something catches your attention. Be well.
@EuphoricImpact to be a Democracy everyone has to be satisfied. that takes socialism.
@oldhacks I more than like America and Americans. You are entitled to your opinion. Good for you oldhacks.
@EuphoricImpact I like Americans. I think this great country should be a Democracy. Not a republic.
@oldhacks Huh? Anyway oldhacks your point is lost on me because you did not use a complete sentence.
Second I do not wish to debate you.
Third you and I are not going to see eye to eye on this issue. If you want the last say in this exchange feel free, but there really isn’t anything else I feel the need to contribute.
If you are refering to “slave owners just modernized”~oldhacks as a chase to my comment on the government…all I can say is wtf? Another time oldhacks, peace.
@EuphoricImpact thats cause of the way Madison wrote the US constitution. slave owners just modernized.
@oldhacks I say what I need to say oldhacks. You do your thing and I will mine.
