How Ignoring American Diversity is Warping of our Heritage and Sense of Pride

by Nomad


The mission of the non-profit organization the Ad Council "is to identify a select number of significant public issues and stimulate action on those issues through communications programs that make a measurable difference in our society. "  

In the ad featured below, American professional wrestler, rapper and actor, John Cena points out that you cannot celebrate and honor America without recognizing its diversity.

Patriotism is, he says, more than pride of country. it’s a kind of love that goes beyond labels.



After this week, we might expect all of our notions of patriotism will soon be twisted into meaning something very different. Waving a flag will suddenly become an endorsement for a president and all of his policies. 
That's a dangerous thing.
