Black Americans are the only race that cannot trace there family leniage to any single foreign country. After slavery most blacks refused to go back to africa because they thought of the U.S. as their motherland. Black Americans have also fought in every American war with bravery, even against the odds of prejudice. Most Blacks today see themselves as American, not hispanic american, Swedish American, or asian American. The only second language Blacks have is English. Does that make us the most patriotic?

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.

This extremely could be in Politics. i'm nonetheless a great deal stunned that Michelle Obama stated that she "felt like an American for the first time", or some thing to that result, even as her husband become elected. even as i become contained in the military, I knew a good number of patriotic black adult men and women folk. and that i comprehend plenty now too. i become going to vote for Herman Cain till he withdrew. in case you pay interest to even one among his publicizes, you'll see that he's a real patriot. i desire he a minimum of receives a cupboard position, yet i might want to like to work out him as vice chairman.

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.

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.

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?

They are definitely patriotic. There are African Americans that are in the Minuteman Project helping at the border.

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.

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.
