The Hyphenated American !

                  The Hyphenated American !
Labels as most of us know  create images some times  good often times
bad!  It seems that America is flooded with a lot of labels the one I dislike most is the Hyphenated American !  If you are born in America or A Naturalized Citizen , you are an American !  You in my mind are not An Irish American , Polish American, Mexican American , African American !  Birthright, something inherited due to the place, time, or circumstances of someone's birth. Let’s All be American’s, leaves no room for hate!
A hyphen ( - ) is a punctuation mark. It is used both to join words and to separate syllables. It is often confused with the dashes ( –, —, ― ), which are longer and have different functions, and with the minus sign ( − ) which is also longer. The use of hyphens is called hyphenation.
