CULTURE: What it means here

| May 8, 2019 1:00 AM

They use the word “culture.” America has no culture. We are and always have been a mix of people. America is an idea; nothing more than that.

The word “culture” in the root of the conversation is racist. They use it like a code word. If they said they want to protect the idea of America, that would make sense. The new Press reporter has been declared a liberal for writing about guns on the hips of two men he interviewed at a Starbucks. Critics couldn’t quite understand the reporter was just painting a picture with words.

That’s my rant for the day. I want my Idaho back.
