I think a real American is a person who can objectively look at the rights and wrongs of this country, and try to find ways to fix the wrongs. Someone who doesn't believe every nationalist, flag waving mantra of the time, and looks at the country from both their own eyes, and from the eyes of people from different cultures.

no, thats a neoconservative

this is a real american

Hereare a bunch of Americans

And some more Americans

Corny, I know, but there is no such thing as a real American. You're either a citizen (and therefore an American), or youre not. There is no proper description outside of that imo. When we say the US is the melting pot, we are.

Those posing as "real Americans" are simply using an image to market something. Whether its Hulk Hogan promoting his image, or country music selling records about how america kicks ass, those are the false ideals that perpetuate the negative stereotype of America,

It sounded a bit like a misinterpretation there. I think he was trying to say ordinary people rather than people deliberately placed there to ask a specific question or push an agenda.

1. White people

2. Republicans

3. Under educated working class

4. Corporate stock holders

5. Blind supporters of any and all military action.

Any of these will do, other than that your probably just a crazy lib trying to take me guns away and eat ma babies!

Edited for non humor:

The man was refering to citizens who are not representing a special interest group, like a pharmaceutical company or an insurance company. Or those representing (paid by) a particular party, like republican or democrat.

That guy says that everyone who is a citizen of the United States is a real American, I don't totally agree with that, a Real American to me is someone who contributes to the the social interwebbing of the United States to help preserve life and community within that country. You could argue what a fake American is, like, I don't know, maybe an illegal immigrant.

I think working class Americans are commonly referred to as "real Americans", why, I haven't a clue. Any citizen of the United States is an American, a real American. What it means (or should) to be an American, among many other things, is recognizing that. Too many Americans promote our differences and want to classify each other or themselves, and create stigma/stereotype. That said...

It sounded a bit like a misinterpretation there. I think he was trying to say ordinary people rather than people deliberately placed there to ask a specific question or push an agenda.jimmyjammer69
