I tend to agree. That's why they pushed so hard for white people not to be racist. They destroyed the psychological mechanism protecting our society from outside threats. When you pathologize interest in one's own race/culture, its a lot like HIV except on societal terms. White people have every right to be proud of their cultures. It's how the nation was willing to acknowledge Al Qaeda existed. If 911 happened today I feel like a significant segment of society would say we deserved it, and fight any attempts at relation against a foreign threat.

Were you alive and sentient for 9/11? Because what you are describing is exactly what occurred.
Utterly fucking up in iraq afterwards was inexcusable though. As in I don't know anything and could have told you that disbanding the army and banning everyone who ever worked for the regime from any meaningful job would lead to a massive shitstorm.
Any business with a tag, I will avoid it if I can. Try to sell me your product, not your victim hood.
There is nothing inherently wrong with racism or tribalism. It allows a group to remain protected from outside threats
