Are Black Americans more patriotic than other races?
Answer:
they are as patriotic as the next american. are color has nothing to do with it. we are americans.
What's the first language blacks have?
They are definitely patriotic. There are African Americans that are in the Minuteman Project helping at the border.
not really, most ppl serving in the millitary today are white, but with this said that doesnt make blacks any less patriotic either
I agree with Bandido. Just because I know what villages both my Grandfathers came from doesn't mean I am less American. They just don't have any heritage of their own so they try to make us less for having one.
Hmmm,lots of black people still refer to themselves as African Americans. But in answer to your question,sure there are plenty of patriotic black people. Then again,there are plenty of patriotic people of all races.
it would be wrong to classify a race through a fews belief. all different very patriotic men and women from most if not all spektums have lived and died for this country.
Exactly what my man Sin......... said I feel you need to explain yourself Re. second language
No.........patriotisim is not defined by race.
It does make black Americans proud, steadfast and family strong.
Good points. But I wonder why you don't address the most used hyphenation of all "African American"? If most Black's see themselves as only "American",as they should,why is that the one I hear the most?
You say US, but I have to wonder....
I'm too tired to type in detail how wrong (factually) pretty much all of your statements are, nor would I assume it'd be worth wasting my time and keystrokes.
Free will is free will, I know. But I find it comical, frustrating at times, when people make comments or have beliefs to summarize something that is not true. Your very first sentence was way off base, and so to was the rest.
But hey, you believe what I want to believe. I can't change that.
I tend to agree that most Blacks are very patriotic. When it comes to late 20th Century wars, they pulled more then their share - when given a chance in WWII their units fought extremely well. But I wouldn't go so far as to say they are as a race more patriotic than other races, I would just say that many Blacks are among the most patriotic Americans. Oh and in some ways Blacks are more American that the average White, since something like 50% of current U.S. Whites did not have family here before 1850, where as 75% (or more) of all U.S. Blacks can trace U.S. ancestors to pre 1812.
Black Americans are the only race that cannot trace there family leniage to any single foreign country
not true. Are you Ethiopian or Nigerian? Mexican or Swedish? German or Russian? Greek or Italian? The greatest thing about it is that these are all Americans!
Of the many lessons of American history, this is among the most basic. Our civil rights and civil liberties--freedom of expression, the right to criticize the government, equality before the law, restraints on the exercise of police powers--are not gifts from the state that can be rescinded when it desires. They are the inheritance of a long history of struggles: by abolitionists for the ability to hold meetings and publish their views in the face of mob violence; by labor leaders for the power to organize unions, picket and distribute literature without fear of arrest; by feminists for the right to disseminate birth-control information without being charged with violating the obscenity laws; and by all those who braved jail and worse to challenge entrenched systems of racial inequality.
The history of freedom in this country is not, as is often thought, the logical working out of ideas immanent in our founding documents or a straight-line trajectory of continual progress. It is a story of countless disagreements and battles in which victories sometimes prove temporary and retrogression often follows progress.
Every war in American history, from the Revolution to the Gulf War, with the exception of World War II, inspired vigorous internal dissent. Self-imposed silence is as debilitating to a democracy as censorship. If questioning an ill-defined, open-ended "war on terrorism" is to be deemed unpatriotic, the same label will have to be applied to Abraham Lincoln at the time of the Mexican War, Jane Addams and Eugene V. Debs during World War I, and Wayne Morse and Ernest Gruening, who had the courage and foresight to vote against the Gulf of Tonkin resolution in 1964.
All of us today share a feeling of grief and outrage over the events of September 11 and a desire that those responsible for mass murder be brought to justice. But at times of crisis the most patriotic act of all is the unyielding defense of civil liberties, the right to dissent and equality before the law for all Americans.

EASI's research reveals that nationalism runs deep in many parts of the country year-round. Most obvious is the Midwest's concentration of patriots. As for the South, it appears they're not just whistling Dixie. Many of the "Star-Spangled" are found in states such as Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. And, while areas with greater numbers of foreign-born residents show up as being less patriotic, Katy Micken, associate professor of marketing at Roger Williams University, warns against over-generalizations. Immigrants are often quite eager to adopt the culture of their new home even as they remain strongly nationalistic toward their native land, she says.
Still, 69 percent of whites claim to be extremely or very patriotic compared with 40 percent of non-whites, according to a Gallup Poll. National pride also increases with age. As Gallup reports, 77 percent of adults 50 and older have high levels of patriotism, as do 65 percent of those between the ages of 30 and 49. Only 40 percent of adults aged 18 to 29 claim to have a strong sense of national pride. The least likely to wrap themselves in stars and stripes: high school and college-age students.
