Answer 3

lol what?

um what makes my family American? hmmm...the fact that we were born in this country and meet all of its freedoms, privileges, failures, and flaws on a daily basis makes us American. We're American because this country was built, in part, on the backs of my ancestors who were brought here on slave ships, degraded, stripped of identity and worth, and over the centuries slowly but surely fought for a sliver of equality and the privileges i enjoy today.

We're American because we are multi-faceted in beliefs and economic status. We're American because we embrace truth and history to educate ourselves on all the horrors, acts of terrorism, and injustices the founders of this country committed while searching for freedom from persecution themselves and we refuse to go out blindly into the world preaching about how much better we are. We're American because we always keep in mind the struggles that all our American ancestors (regardless of race or family lineage) fought for something they believed in. We recognize that regardless of whether or not we agree on the purpose of various wars, what sides we support, there were human beings determined to put their lives on the line for something they believed in.
