You and I probably wouldn't be here if our ancestors hadn't been greedy savages.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If the American people don't love me, their descendants will.
I, too, am convinced that our ancestors came from Africa.
We must strive to become good ancestors.
We should not look down on our first ancestors.
Indeed, if our ancestors of millions of years ago hadn't learned how to care for one another and hunt in packs, they'd all have ended up being eaten by leopards.
I'm the descendant of enslaved black people in this country. You could've been born in 1820 if you were black and looked back to your ancestors and saw nothing but slaves all the way back to 1619. Look forward another 50 or 60 years and saw nothing but slaves.
I think these people have betrayed or have forgotten their ancestors.
Most people who came here came for economic reasons or sometimes for religious or political reasons. I didn't have any of this. I came here, I liked it, I stayed. So I'm a pure American - even more than people who are born here - because I did it by choice as an adult.
We are all born brave, trusting and greedy, and most of us remain greedy.
And so, whether they came here on the Mayflower, on a slave ship, or on an airplane from Havana, we are all descendants of the men and women who built here the nation that saved the world.
