I like to think of myself, in all thinks, as first and foremost, a
Virginian.

Thank you, Clara. I too am a proud, un-hyphenated, adjective-free
American
with Virginia ancestors who came to this continent from Europe.
The root is that we, you and I, are Americans. Not black, not white, not
African-, not European-Americans, we are Americans. I was born in this
great
country, am proud of it, and proud to be called an American. I would
like to
think that all people born in the United States of America feel this
way.
Sadly, there are many, many people that do not.
