Surely you are not trying to rewrite history to try to make it match your narrative?
Slaves were Americans in every sense of the word. They were not citizens, but they were indeed Americans. Same goes for Native Americans.
Wrong. One of the primary definitions of “American” is a US citizen.
Slaves were not US citizens.
In that sense they were not Americans.

Do you agree or disagree that only American citizens can be American?
What is your definition of an American?
I dunno man, I'm not the one who disputed the "American"-ness of people who live in the USA. The definition is whatever you want it to be. Like, "is track a 'sport'?"
Trump continues to cheat on his taxes.
A whistleblower recently made “credible allegations” to the Ways and Means Committee of potentially wrongful interference by the Trump administration with the IRS’ presidential audit process.

I just watched 20 or so minutes of a Biden town hall in NH. Dude is fine. The media only reports his gaffes and the lack of loud young supporters, but he is very sharp and kept a room engaged. He's not the kind of guy who grabs a room with drama, but he's sharp and understands the issues.
anyone who is worried about biden losing mental facility...should relax.

Anyone with a gaffe every other day is not fine. Biden continues to make repeated gaffes. Some of them are egregious. You really want this guy leading the country?
But how will Biden hold up over the next four years?
He’s old.
We can take a chance with Biden, who is a professional politician. Or we can keep trying to think that the current IDIOT in the Oval Office could possibly do something that isn’t out of a bad political comedy movie. Oh, I didn’t mean to insult all the idiots by lumping them in with Trump, he’s in a class by himself.

Biden is an idiot. Trump would never say that the King and Kennedy assassinations were in the late 70s. Only an idiot would not know the timeline of the assassinations. Trump is a student of history. He knows stuff like that. Biden is an embarrassment.

You and Rigged both agree that the US would be fine if we got rid of all of the undocumented immigrants and there would be no negative economic impact.
I don't know about Rigged, but I would like to see a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Most would be able to stay.
It would have a positive economic impact.
With an open borders policy? No way.
Stop using the term "undocumented immigrants"- they are illegal aliens.

We need to be honest. These are not ones without documentation. They are here in this country illegally. Quit with the liberal bullSh$t and call it what it is. They are here illegally. We can have compassion for them and maybe allow them to say but quit lying about their status. They are here effing ILLEGALLY.

I tell the truth. Are they here legally or illegally? Who is the liar?

Would you care to try again without using such asinine phrases as "I'm guessing you . . . "?
Fair enough.
Do you agree or disagree that only American citizens can be American?
1) Thanks for asking the question in this civilized manner.
2) The definition of "American" is generally understood to be "citizen of the United States".
3) If I were a slave, I do not think that I would have thought about myself as an American. I typically think of being a member or citizen of a country as meaning (among other things) that the country involved (the United States in this case) would be responsible for protecting my rights. It is hard to see how I might consider myself to be an American when the United States was complicit in ensuring that I had no rights.

You are not a slave. You "think" obviously has zero value.

How about someone with a gaffe every other hour? Are they fine?

When you talk to a slave get back to me.
Slaves were Americans in every sense of the word except for the being free part, able to own land, vote, move freely, earn a wage, etc.
Other that that things were great being “American.”
Now if you are talking in generalities, Latin Americans, Central Americans and South Americans are American in every sense of the word.
The question is whether slaves were included in "Americans who built this country".
If you want to say that the slaves weren't Americans or that the slaves didn't help build the country then you go ahead.
You do you.

I want to pay them based on good moral values. It is idiotic for taxpayers to subsidize corporations that won't pay their employees enough to live on.
Raising the minimum wage does not necessarily lead to higher consumer prices. It cuts into corporate profits sometimes, but it also leads to higher demand because people have more money to spend.
It is the government's job to set the rules for capitalism. Then let the free market do its job. But those rules need to favor the ordinary workers as much as the wealthy. That's why we have a minimum wage.
Your ignorance is so profound that it is nearly impossible to know where to begin.
Seriously, son, you shouldn't talk about economic matters. You make the entire world dumber.
I must say, that's a convincing argument.
