Let’s Inculcate Our Youth a Genuine American Pride

August 2019 almost ends, but we're still getting news about young white supremacists arrested in at least three different cities in Florida, Ohio, and Connecticut on plans to commit massive shootings.

One of these guys is an unemployed man who openly said he wanted to die and "have fun doing it"... Indeed, a mentally ill idea coming from the mind of someone unable to think smart at facing adversity.

It seems we're failing on our white youngsters' education, specifically those who grew up in the safety net of rural or small towns, that are dealing — in fact like everybody — with the unavoidable Globalization challenge at home, but they are not becoming as competitive as other ethnic groups, whose members are resilient and proactive due to their ancestors traditional withstanding.

Some white youngsters in our country are experiencing a dangerous self-pride, derived from social frustration, and the racist speech spread by conservative media. Resentful youth feel others are stealing their American Dream, but they are not able to understand that America is a proud nation with unlimited opportunities for any men and women working hard and smart to improve our society and our planet.

It's URGENT to change those dangerous egos threatening the safety of our families into a true American Pride.

We must inculcate our youth that the genuine American Pride is to show the world we can be a UNITED, peaceful, democratic nation worthy of being respected, as well as admired.
