Joe Scum et al missed a significant part of Bad Bunny's message

[malaise]

Bad Bunny loves the United States of America but there are three Americas - North America (which includes Mexico and Canada) South America, Latin America and the Caribbean.

1. Joe Scarborough's missed messages was apparent long ago

as he droned on during his show, Scarborough Country.

2. He should read this - a fabulous report/review

“God bless America,” Benito proclaims as he progresses to the finish, promptly naming Chile, Argentina and all of South and Central America and the Caribbean before finishing with the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. “Seguimos aquí,” (“We’re still here”) he closes, spiking a football that says: “Together, we are America.”

3. If one thinks about it, United States of America is not a very nationalistic name for a country

It has United in our name, and it also has America which is shared across continents. USA is pretty unique in the world as country names go.

12. Estados Unidos Mexicanos and Estados Unidos do Brasil are close. In 1967 Brazil decided it was too deferential.

5. After 9/11, some were upset

that Celine Dion sang God Bless America because she's Canadian. When it was pointed out out that Canada is part of North America, they claimed that God Bless America only applies to the U.S. 🙄

7. Sadly many Americans share that view

I have had that argument right here on DU.

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. Really?

I would have never expected that here. I thought DU members were more open minded.

13. The Spirit of Pablo Casals Lives

15. Beautiful

14. More than that, the NFL is expanding its base

They don't want to just be an America sport no one else plays or watches.

16. Of course there are two American continents

With Central America thrown in the middle.

However, the US being the dominant economic and military powerhouse it is has always been referred to as "America"

Not everything is fair or accurate.
