The U.S. is rightfully nervous about the battle in Ferguson:
the shooting of Michael Brown, the retaliatory shooting of two police officers
the shooter’s prosecution.
However, it is important that we know that the real battle is between
two ways of defining America, because our nation’s fate depends upon which
definition prevails.
On one side we have the multicultural narrative.
Michael Brown’s supporters – and I include President Obama
and his Administration in this category – see the Ferguson teenager’s death as
proof that America is a racist nation that will never give “people of color”
and other “historically under-represented minorities” a fair shake. This narrative paints America as a
source of oppression that must be fought.
On the other side, we have the patriotic narrative.
Our traditional patriotic narrative points to America as the
New World, where innovation and freedom have led to the greatest expansion of
wealth the planet has ever known. Here, with hard work, anyone can achieve
their dreams. This narrative teaches us pride in our nation and challenges us
to work hard in order to sustain and honor it.
If we continue to push the multicultural narrative, our
nation will dissolve in race-based resentment. If we can revive the patriotic narrative, we will be united,
solvent and strong.
Since African-Americans are at the heart of the
multicultural narrative, converting them to our narrative is key to winning
this life-or-death debate.
