Was that support for melting pot, or a slap against ethnic locales, or
a one party one rule push, or it's all about money anyway?

White man speak with forked tongue.

I've always thought "Right to Rise" sounds like a slogan for Viagra.

Beat the rap on that customs fashion/jewelry smuggling operation she tried to get away with. He's right: her lack of acclimation has affected her success!

How is JEB going to manage her FLOTUS duties if he wins it all?

His nuclear family is multi cultural.

Big brother bush meaning nothing.

I would like to close myself off from a lot of American culture, whatever that means, but I don't think that is really very possible.

But they will turn their backs on anyone who supports a system that is inherently discriminatory.

polls after his attacks on Mexicans. His support increased when he proposed deporting millions of Hispanic undocumented immigrants. Ben Carson, adding to an already impressive list of daffy prescriptions, suggested last weekend that Muslims should be barred from the presidency despite the Constitution's unambiguous decree that the office is not subject to a religious test.

Trump, Carson and others appealing to the insecurities of conservatives promise to "take back America" in part by turning back the great cultural tide of recent decades. Heavy immigration has muddied American demographics, and the changes appear irreversible due to relatively high birth rates among Hispanics and rising rates of interracial marriage. For some, the result is an anxious Babel -- "This is a country where we speak English, not Spanish," Trump declared at last week's CNN debate.

In speech and demeanor, Bush conveys a steady decency, readily dispensed. But a sizable part of the electorate choosing the next Republican nominee appears to be not only anti-something but very nearly anti-everything. The party's anti-establishment, anti-government, anti-immigrant voters resent the privileged past from which Bush arose. And they resent the pluralistic future to which his personal and political journey leads.

For now, the fractured Republican field enables Bush to pursue the nomination without seeking the support of the party Antis. But can a Republican gain the nomination in 2016 without reckoning with the forces propelling Trump, Carson, Cruz and Fiorina? If Bush succeeds in reaching a point in the campaign where he needs to expand his coalition to include voters on the resentful right, he may discover that he no longer speaks their language.

We Native Americans will continue to practice our cultural and spiritual traditions!

Are you sure you are one?

because eurocentricism is SUPREME and all others are backwards savages.

Weve gotten beyond cutting people heads off for having the wrong religion, hanging for being gay, no longer treat women like livestock. Others cultures..mm not so much.

if you are a male white, land-owning, capitalistic scum who brought my ancestors here in luxury quarters -



and who continue to do this to my people and other POC -

isnt it? Youd think they would flock to those far superior cultures like found in say, Saudi Arabia, Iran or perhaps China...lot of jobs in China I hear...

They are going where they can. Africa is also embroiled in conflict.

they quickly discover the truth, where Haitians are allowed to drown at sea or are stalked like animals and brutalized -





Or others are shoved into warehouses like those fleeing from Central America -



And let's not talk about the U.S. agricultural industry.

I think maybe the rose-colored glasses need some adjustments.

and other western countries needs to do some advertising saying "Dont come here, it really really SUCKS!"

Or more accurately, "it doesn't suck as much as some places, sucks worse than others..."

However, I realize the desire for many people to pretend that escaping war and poverty from country B to country A implicitly means country A is the best there is rather than merely the best in a particular and specific context.

No such thing as uptopia afterall, but there is a reason why many more seeking to come in then to leave. its the best thing going so far. I don't think the balkanizing of western society via "multiculturalism" serves the west. Assimilation is much better. But that doesn't mean western civ cant adopt the best of what other cultures can bring to the table. I come from a Slavic heritage. Grandparents were immigrants. We have kept some of the traditions; I used to folk dance and sing the songs from the "old country" However we are "all American" at the same time. There was never special accommodations demanded of the adoptive country. The idea was to "become American" in all aspects of the public life. The traditions were remembered in private settings such as thru benevolent socities, the church, etc.

his chances for nom were pretty low anyway....please let this be the last bush who tries to get into the wh

Bushes are lily white and own the team. Nevermind being born on 3rd base.

Trump is pushing Jeb to the right and now Jeb is pandering to the right. If Jeb does become the nominee, this will be used agaisnst him in the general election

Go ahead Je Bush, I dare you.

That is all.

Goddamit I hate republicans.

And it's even more stupid when you look at his wife, as another person has already noted. He speaks Spanish at home, and his wife is from Mexico. . . .

How can he NOT state that multiculturalism is GOOD for America?

Let's not forget that Jeb Bush is not stupid, unlike his fucking idiot of a brother, GWB. He's a cynical, lying, sack of shit, more along the lines of his criminal ex-CIA Chief of a father and his asshole of a mother.

Why didn't this boy use all that white skin privilege to get an education? He really is dumber than his damned brother.

Almost no rationality at all. Basically just catharsis. This kind of crude emotional verbiage does not help Democrats. A lot of people visit this site to see what liberal Dems are thinking. Too bad they are going to see this.

But I hope you all feel better now.

[font size=6]BUH-BYE![/font]

But thanks for confirming my opinion.

[font size =6] You're welcome! [/font]

I guess I hope you feel better too.

I like you. But you're off the mark if you think I am "dictating." How could I possibly do that? I wasn't "dictating"; I was scolding. That's different.

"But I hope you all feel better now...."

Much as you know do for adding a cathartic and emotionally laden response lacking almost no rational thought? In effect, indicting others for the very same activity you yourself are engaging in. Six of one, half a dozen of the other... insert distinction lacking a difference in space below provided free of charge.

Hope you feel better, indeed.

Enjoy your stay!

I never really thought of multiculturalism as "closing themselves off from American culture". I don't know how to address complaints of multiculturalism when we don't have the same fundamental understanding of the term.

Yes, this is a verbal disagreement about the meaning of "multiculturalism." Jeb is using the word in a negative sense to mean little exclusive islands of different cultures within a larger society (India would be an example of this). But there is another more inclusive sense of "multiculturalism" which means preserving the food, music, dance, literature, etc., of America's varied cultural heritage so that everyone can enjoy them.

He might as well just have said it that way. What a loser.

close all the ethnic restaurants and reopen them as applebees.

yah some places will have 5 applebees on the same block but it must be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and Pizza Hut? well no there is nothing Italian there

Immigrants should strive to integrate into society at large and integrate american culture into their own instead of closing themselves off into isolated pockets.

Newest Immigrants Assimilating as Fast as Previous Ones, Report Says

The newest generations of immigrants are assimilating into American society as fast and broadly as the previous ones, with their integration increasing over time “across all measurable outcomes,” according to a report published on Monday by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.

Immigrants’ education levels, the diversity of their jobs, their wages and their mastery of English improved as they lived for more time in the United States, and the gains were even greater for their American-born children, the report concluded.

“The force of integration is strong,” said Mary C. Waters, a sociologist at Harvard who led the panel of 18 immigration scholars who wrote the more than 400-page report. “However we do it, we are good at it,” she said.

Professor Waters said the report should allay fears that recent immigrants committed crimes more frequently than Americans, that they were generally in poor health and burden public health care systems, or that they were failing to learn English.

originally prompted by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr's bullshit book "The Disuniting of America: Reflections on a Multicultural Society" that helped to birth ilk like Dinesh D'Souza and a whole cadre of RW loons. They took the term and twisted it into something completely unrecognizable in order to help maintain European supremacy as "the American Culture".... despite the fact that the "American culture" adopted and amalgamated the cultures of the many who reside here.

Unlike much of the rest of the world, the (post-colonial) U.S. did not evolve as a homogeneous society. Its very existence on the land of what were once hundreds of thousands of indigenous peoples, while dragging many hundreds of thousands more here against their will, guaranteed it to be heterogeneous. And when the "many" among the "one" here demanded inclusion of their contributions to the revolutionary founding and evolutionary history of this country, they were dismissed outright and ridiculed, while the term "multicultural" was turned on its head to become a negative... while other terms like "political correctness" were coined to further marginalize non-western European citizens (or others who did not fit a certain criteria) who attempted to bring some civility to cultural or other-abled discussions.

The fact that we are today arguing over the name of Washington D.C.'s NFL football team - the "Redskins" is a case in point of the complete tone deafness of truly having multicultural versus a distorted monoculture.

he went super-multicultural there...

Is there some Democrat named Bush? Why call him "Republican Bush" ?
