“African-American” is different from other “hyphenated” Americans. Like it or not, it has become a euphemism foe “black,” regardless of its literal meaning. Therefore, if you imply that African-Americans are not Americans, you are in effect implying that black Americans are not Americans.
Tell me how that is not racist.

I’m tired of the left changing words at will away from their literal meaning so they can play “gotcha” with them. I call it “the niggardly tactic.” Elon Musk is African-American. Kamala is not (she’s Jamaican and Indian). It’s such a scam that it was a running gag on The Goode Family (their huge white Boer adopted son, “Ubuntu”).
Like it or not? That sounds like an ultimatum. I don’t like it, and I don’t have to play by those “rules.” They’re not my rules.

rmc -The cartoon is COMPLETELY accurate.
jews attacking Christians? There’s not enough bandwidth here to recite the times.. plus, they are ongoing every single moment of every single day; sometimes violently and bloodily, but always, at all times, subtly and cancerously. Remember “By means of deception shall you make war”? And (((whose))) motto is that?
And no, ‘african Americans are not American. And ‘judeo Christian is an oxymoron of the highest order. antiChrist Christian?!?!?
And no, Jesus was NOT a jew. In fact, He told the jews that they ‘were of their father the devil’. More than once. And ancient [Old Testament] Israelites were not jews either. Read the Book. Listen to the jews themselves – they admit it! [see the jewish almanac and others]
Wake up and smell the pizza.
How many constitutionally protected rights get trampled when we are under a “state of emergency”? Florida citizens get to live under a police state because of something happening half a world away.
I find it interesting that in progressive circles, a “good Jew” is one who does not practice the religion.Their only “religious” belief is in the fundamental righteousness and ultimate triumph of progressivism.
And oh yes, by progressive standards, a “good Jew” is also one who is anti-Israel.
Hence, Charles Schumer is “good”. JFPO is “bad”.
Most such only play the “religion card” when someone objects to what they are advocating. Suddenly the objector is an anti-Semite.
There are probably as many “professional” Jews on the progressive side as there are “professional” blacks. You may recall what Dr. King had to say about the latter.

So would Haym Solomon.
From the period of 1781–1784, records show Salomon’s fundraising and personal lending heelped provide over $650,000 (approximately $19,565,382.35 in 2023 dollars[8]) in financing to General George Washington in his war effort. His most meaningful financial contribution, however, came immediately prior to the Siege of Yorktown.[9]
The financier died suddenly and in poverty on January 8, 1785, in Philadelphia. Due to the failure of governments and private lenders to repay the debt incurred by the war, his family was left penniless at his death at age 44.[9] The hundreds of thousands of dollars of Continental debt Salomon bought with his own fortune were worth only about 10 cents on the dollar when he died.
Have read that letter, as well as the communication that precipitated him writing it. But the benefits of the new nation, as acknowledged, require good citizenship Continually voting for those who would disarm you and your fellow citizens doesn’t strike me as that.
“African American” Elon Musk is sounding pretty American.
OTOH most “African Americans” are more American than African by several generations and a mix of some other heritage here and there, if they are from Africa at all. Except if we go back to Lucy, we’re all “African American.”
And just to muddle it further, there is no country called “Africa” for anybody to be from, just as there is no country called “America,” except as shorthand for the U.S. of A.
One fails to remember, the Jews cME first. Thousands of years before the xtians and even they came 700 years before the muslims. Before that it was tribalism with pretty much each household having its own ‘gods’.
Today, pretty much all are ‘civilized’ except for the peoples crushed under ‘islam’, largely still existing in the 7th century with the addition of cell phones and rockets, with their ‘leaders’ making sure they do while they enjoy opulent lifestyles with the ‘aid money’ they don’t spend on weapons.
If Israel is betrayed by the *resident the way they were under ‘bama, then there will only arise another land of broken infrastructure and enslaved peasants where ‘sorcery’ is still a valid medical diagnosis.
I seem to remember Christians traveling all the way from Britain to ransack Jerusalem. I don’t recall any incident where Jews were warlike to anyone. They always seem to me the sheep being sheared by any rulers who thought they had too much power and money. That is from historical records and not biblical.
There is good or bad in any ethnicity, including Jews.
During the Muslim conquest, many willingly served as the stewards and book keepers of the Caliphates all the way to Spain. If a Christian tried to evade the tax demanded by the Koran, they were ratted out by the stewards and tortured or killed.
A town in Spain remembers this by throwing a goat, representing the Jewish tax collector, fron the church bell tower.
Jews amongst the Bolsheviks killed many an Eastern Orthodox Christian, even though Stalin couldn’t kill enough of these self hating dupes.
The Jewish majority of Vernon Hills Illinois turned especially nasty at yuletide, where I was publicly attacked for the crime of playing Santa at a local mall, and my children were mocked in class for being Christian, and teachers led the class in mocking the Christmas holiday.
I told my children this was an anomaly, and to ignore the hurt, which stopped when we moved.
My mother’s second husband was black, I was three at the time, and let me tell you what it’s like to be a hated minority in that community.
No ethnicity has a monopoly on sainthood, and any ethnicity achieving demographic superiorty can be capable of violent bigotry.
Welcome to the human race. Embrace good where ever it can be found, and deal with scum of any flavor as it deserves.
An example of documented persecution of the Christians by the Jews is in the Bible. Book of Acts. Other than that brief period, I don’t know of any other time where Jews were attacking Christians. After 70 AD, the Jews were without a country until 1948.
I‘ve been a DBD fan and supporter from the beginning. If by eschewing the notion of hyphenated Americans, Chris is echoing Teddy Roosevelt, who said plainly that when someone came to the US or where they came from didn‘t matter, rather whether they embraced American values, I agree completely.
However, if he‘s suggesting that only those who can trace forebears to some point in the past (17th century? 18th century? 19th century?) or some particular ethnic origin, then I can‘t agree. Even though I have ancestors who‘ve been here since the early 17th century and who have fought in all of America‘s wars since Bacon‘s rebellion….
Hmph. Jesus is a Jew. So were all his apostles and most of the early Christians (excluding pagans who converted) were also. Moreover, the New Testament says Christians are grafted onto the tree of Judaism and Jews will be first into heaven after Jesus comes back to straighten out all the family business.
So I’m wondering, can you have the Christian part without having the Judeo part?
Meaning that Christianity is but a sect of Judaism. Jesus was a good Jewish boy who only tried to clean up the corruption in his own religion. The schism came much later . . .
And if you believe that there was some kind of injustice involved just reflect on what, historically, happened almost immediately thereafter to the Jewish State.
If anyone has paid the price for hubris it has to be the Jew via the Diaspora.
The Jews have thought long and hard about themselves and their faith since then and it shows. Christians and Muslims have been their scourge for the last 2000 years and continue to be. Now when the practicing Jew avows to be Humble Before God the Faithful actually mean it (for the most part anyway).
Christians on the other hand have yet to pay the price for their hubris, but the pollution of the Faith by the Socialist Heresy seems to be well on the way to doing just that.

Jews have been extremely warlike in the past. The Bible tells the story of them killing every man, woman, child and animal in the land that was given to them by God. In more modern times the Jews played an outsized part in the Bolshevik revolution and subsequent terror. They also attacked the U.S.S. Liberty. They also killed the very first Christian, Christ himself. With all that said, let’s switch to hyphenated Americans in general. Among all American sub-groups, including European descendants, “there are good ones and there are bad ones.” There a extremely good Jews and extremely good blacks; in both cases there are majority of bad ones (Jews vote as a “progressive” block; blacks do so even more cohesively; both such groups are helping to destroy America and western civilization, whether consciously or blindly). In the end, it’s statistics: for each sub-group, what percentage is destructive, and what percentage is admirable and helpful?
Warriors of God is one of the best books written on the back and forth slaughter of whole villages and towns by the three dominant religions in the Middle East. History repeats. Vengeance cometh. No hyphen nation.
Man, our host does not avoid guaranteed controversy does he?
And once the knee-jerk commenters have their say, some very wise and well-spoken ones chime in too. And their take, that hyphens and hate and history all occur gradually over time and not with an absolute declaration…is the difficult truth of it.
But, when all is said and done the only thing Americans need to be concerned about right now is America and its survival in spite of all this hidden hatred and the agendas of almost every global group of peoples that are not us.
Make America Great Again and America First are not just populist mantras, they are calls to action and war if and when necessary.
As homogenous groups, yes blacks generally hate America, Jews generally undermine American interests, and Muzbro? Come on, Mo down at the corner store is nice to you every day, until he gets the message that today is “the” day to pull the pin out by the gas pumps.
Don’t attack the messenger here that is not afraid to tell the naked truth; this is not an echo chamber or a circle jerk. Accept the truth and deal with it.
HypheNation…It is but it should not be, and it doesn’t have to be. CRA Now!
A socially relevant strip such as Day By Day must use very few words and pictures to convey thoughts about what are sometimes very complex issues. Usually, Chris does a masterful job of that. Today? Not so much. So now he’s batting 999.9 instead of 1000. I think I’ll cut him some slack on this.
Best take I’ve seen yet on this law: it’s a new Fugitive Slave Act! Runaway whites are free to go on their way; runaway blacks will be pursued by enforcement agents.
Well, maybe the last word as I sometimes end up doing. Take or leave it as I’m only speaking of what I’ve personally seen. Do Not upset, Po, or otherwise wrongfully gain the attention of the UltraOrthodox or their children in Israel.
You also can see Jews attack Christians in Jerusalem especially if they are dumb enough to mention Jesus. Usually to one person who then starts screaming “Missionary!!”
Judaeo-Christian is a set of values, not two sets of residents. Everyplace on earth where such values are adhered to prospers, whereas anyplace that rejects them suffers.
I’m not completely sure where Chris was going with today’s strip, but I hope it was someplace other than where it seemed. Because that place doesn’t seem to have the prosperous set of values.

Hammer, nail head, heavy stroke.
The history of Jews is attacking Christians??? Examples, please? I think Christians attacked Jews more than vice versa.
In the first sentence, is Zed trying to draw moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel?
African-Americans aren’t American? I never thought this cartoon was racist, but you are venturing into dangerous territory.
This is the most disturbing cartoon of yours i have ever read.
Look up and read or better, listen to, John Wayne’s thoughtful essay: “The Hyphen.”
Like “Palestine/Palestinian,” there is no such thing as a “Hyphenated American.” We are all “Americans of _______ Extraction.” All else is rubbish.
Wayne was citing President Theordore Roosevelt circa 1915.
Concur Judéo Christian is a reference to cultural background not race, There is no excuse for antisemitism in todays world.BAD BAD BAD POST BY CHRIS
Wait. This damn’ irrevocable setup has me agreeing with the wrong post.
It is spot on, Mr. Muir. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American.
ALL that crap is invented. Am I an Oldenburg-American? My 11-times grandfather arrived in Nieuw Amsterdam in 1641.
Mebbe I am a Nieuw Amsterdam-American?
Cut the bullshit, children, and stop slinging that INVENTED pejorative “racist”.
You either ARE an American, or you are NOT an American.
No games.
^^^^^^^^^^^
There it is.
“African-American” is different from other “hyphenated” Americans. Like it or not, it has become a euphemism foe “black,” regardless of its literal meaning. Therefore, if you imply that African-Americans are not Americans, you are in effect implying that black Americans are not Americans.

I’m tired of the left changing words at will away from their literal meaning so they can play “gotcha” with them. I call it “the niggardly tactic.” Elon Musk is African-American. Kamala is not (she’s Jamaican and Indian). It’s such a scam that it was a running gag on The Goode Family (their huge white Boer adopted son, “Ubuntu”).

How many constitutionally protected rights get trampled when we are under a “state of emergency”? Florida citizens get to live under a police state because of something happening half a world away.
That’s an… interesting take.
The founding citizenry included Jews, and free Africans, so therefore so does “our posterity.”
Zed should read Washington’s letter to the Newport Jewish community.
General Nathaniel Greene may have something to say about this…

They always seem to me the sheep being sheared by any rulers who thought they had too much power and money. That is from historical records and not biblical.
At the time, Jerusalem was held by the Muslims, not the Jews.
There is St. Stephen. Plus, Saul until his epiphany on the road to Damascus. Upon when he became Paul. After that, persecutions are sparce.
Name one instance of Jews attacking Christians. (Hint: it has NEVER happened.)
There is good or bad in any ethnicity, including Jews.

Humanity consists of individuals.
The larger the group of humans,
the less individuality they show,
the more they behave like a herd
…or a pack.
Humans, like any other animal,
can be driven crazy by crowding.
There are never enough humans
who can overcome their insanity;
God help the group if it drives out
its minority of sane individuals.
