Why is everyone taking DNA tests to find out about their heritage? While Americans are fueling an industry selling them a story of global identity, the country’s President is spreading fear and hostility about non-white immigrants. Trump seems to have an idea of “Americanness” that is limited to those of a certain ethnic inheritance and anyone from places like Mexico or South America or Haiti is fundamentally foreign and ‘other’. The most obvious fact remains that the overwhelming majority of us came from somewhere foreign, that at some point, our heritage was ‘other’. This is the intersection Alex Wagner explores in her new memoir, “Futureface”. It’s a story about how we think about who we are based on where we come from and how that fits into our conception of our own “Americanness”.

A Personality Cult has NO, “ideology,” attached to it. There is no, “knowledge,” “history,” or even, “politics,” behind it. It’s frankly, “Un-American.” Trump SO has to GO ✌️
Hillary is still running the Liberal Deep State. She has to go.
…to prison.
Hellow
I love the passionate indignation of the trumpites being called “trolls” or “bad actors” and being like “YOU DON’T KNOW ME MUM SHUT UP!”
In the face of incredible cruelty to newly arrived immigrants, we realize that we are all immigrants to this country. None of the stereotypes, tropes, and ad hominem references to immigration can be true when we realize that grandma was one of those people, too. Unless, we hide our heads in the sand, screaming “America First!”
Why did you upload 12hrs of “why” videos?
