E Pluribus Unum

In 2021 it seems we have forgotten the official motto of the United States of America: “E pluribus unum,” out of many, one. Up through January 21, 2009, America had achieved a society where our culture accepted fully the concept of e pluribus unum. America had evolved into a true melting pot where people from anywhere in the world could arrive legally and be blended into America as a citizen with all the rights associated therewith. By the 1970s, the tribalism that had existed in America had generally evaporated. Interracial marriages became commonplace. Whites, Blacks, Oriental, Hispanics, and central Asians, were marrying without regard to ethnic or national backgrounds. America was the least racist country on the planet and was truly color blind.
