Question

Are white people the most patriotic people in the USA ?

Answer 1

I assume by 'patriotic' you mean 'blind allegiance'. Then yeah, there are certain types of white people that seem to have that problem more than most others.

What iswrong with questioning things? Critizising things? Isn't that what democracy is all about? Trying to come up with improvements instead of attacking people for making suggestions?

Answer 2

ABSOLUTELY NOT

Answer 3

Politically incorrect answer: Probably, because they are most conservative. Although there are many conservatives in other races.

Politically correct answer: No, because every race of people is equally patriotic.

I am undecided on answer. Just trying to write down two different viewpoints.

Answer 4

there are many white liberals that are not....so race has nothing to do with it..

Answer 5

Only those who admire and adhere to the Constitution.

Answer 6

Of course not.  'White' people come from all sorts of backgrounds; socioeconomic and cultural.  Just as do people of other races.

All of this is immaterial in any case since patriotism is a loosely definable term.  I could call classical liberalism and belief in the Constitution 'patriotic', while others could call leftist ideals and fighting against capitalism 'patriotic'.

Most believe that their ideals are for the betterment of the United States and those who work toward that imperative are easily defined as 'patriots'.

The best thing anybody could do is to study the history of liberty and free markets versus command economies and oppressive government 'for the good of the people'.  I have observed abject suffering when liberty was forfeited in past governments.

I guess the point is that anybody can call themselves a 'patriot', but a half-******, misinformed patriot generally does more harm than good.  Keep an eye on Hugo Chavez.  He is a patriot in Venezuela, no doubt.  For all the good it will do the people, we'll see.
