In 1776 each of the 13 states behaved as if it was an independent nation. The lack of unity between the 13 states was so extreme that they had to discard the Articles of Confederation and write the Constitution to prevent the nation from disintegrating.
America was not united during the 1800's either. Actually, the lack of unity was so extreme that some of the states decided to form their own nation. The American people started a vicious fight with each other over this issue. This Civil War resulted in the states remaining together as a nation, but the people did not become any more united.
The Civil War resulted in the freeing of millions of African slaves. This resulted in racial tension ever since, and occasional fights. The slaves have never been fully accepted as citizens of America. Rather, most white Americans have only tolerated them.
Also during the 1800's America let in many Chinese people to serve as human donkeys to build railroads and perform other tasks. These Chinese people were not accepted as members of American society either, thereby adding to the racial tension.
The American people have never been united, and the situation seems worse today than ever
Nobody announces the obvious
The reason Americans frequently announce to the world that we are united is simply because we are not. If Americans were truly united, nobody would not feel the need to announce it. Nobody announces the obvious, and nobody repeats the obvious 20,000 times during 7 days.
The newspapers in France do not repeat hundreds of times that they speak French. The newspapers in Japan do not repeat hundreds of times that Japan has frequent earthquakes. The newspapers in Ethiopia do not repeat hundreds of times that the sunshine is intense.
Americans must publicly announce that they are united simply because we are not. If we didn't tell ourselves and the world that we are united, nobody would realize it. Since we quickly forget that we are united, we must repeat the remarks on a routine basis.

A country like yours whit the size and wastly diffrent demograpics you need a certain amount of state indoctrination/propaganda.
Americans boast that all the different races, religions, and nationalities are united, but if that were true we would have seen evidence of it before the attack on 9/11. For example, we would have seen races and religions getting together occasionally for social activities. And we would have seen groups of people getting together to make our cities more attractive and our public transportation more useful.
Look closely at America before the attack. We rarely find socializing between different groups of people. Also, there are very few instances of Americans getting together to do something useful for the nation. Rather, the only time we find Americans getting together is to hold demonstrations in the streets or to hate other nations. These demonstrations and this anger towards the Arabs does not prove that we are united; rather, it shows that Americans get together only when we have somebody to hate.
Americans are simply distracted by terrorist. Prior to the WTC attack many Americans were fighting with each other, hating other races, blaming South Americans for their drug problems, complaining about our crummy government, pouting over their lack of money, or something equally unproductive.
When we face the fact that the American social environment is unpleasant and that there is no real unity here? Rather than unity, we find fighting and racial tension everywhere. There is tension between men and women, between businesses, and between the citizens and their government. The fighting is so extreme that thousands of lawyers make a living from it.
Muslim terrorists have given us something to hate. This reduces some of the fighting within America, creating the illusion that the Americans are united.

Well no shit we're not the same.
The only thing that keeps us together is the Constitution, shared values in freedom and self-rule, and a language.
Appreciate that.

How connected do Americans generally feel to one another? As in a guy from Florida, New York and LA in a room together. Do you feel like the same people?
Aussies are pretty much the same culturally wherever you go, the biggest distinction being city/country.
Please american, we have known this for a long time, you don't have to beat yourself up about it. I hate seeing you like this.
Uncle trump will make it better, and army dudes putting people in fema camps is actually a good thing.
Cheer up buddy.

Provide factual rebuttals not opinionated dismissals
The schools in America are starting to resemble prisons.The police visit some high schools each day just to show their presence to the kids.
The situation is even worse for some of the schools in the poor sections of big cities. Some of those schools require the children to pass through metal detectors before they get into the building.
During the 1960's many kids would ride bicycles to school without parents worrying. Today, however, many parents are afraid to let their children ride bicycles to school, so they drive them in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. How is this a happy society? How is this a united society?
America is raising unhappy, lonely, and angry children who become unhappy, lonely, and angry adults. Most American adults think of nothing but entertainment. They want to distract themselves from their miserable, lonely existence. They dream of becoming rich because they think money will make them feel better. They dream of becoming famous because they think that fame will bring happiness. And they dream of killing muslims because they are angry.
America is not a united nation where people enjoy life; rather, it is a disorganized gathering where people struggle for happiness. These lonely people are turning to dogs, homosexuality, money, and the hating of others as a way to make themselves feel better and/or distract themselves from their miserable life.
We have the largest television and movie business in the world; we have enormous gambling operations; a large pet industry; and sales of alcohol and drugs are enormous. But our useful industries are disappearing, our public transportation is lousy, our cities are ugly, and our educational systems are pathetic.
Americans spend an enormous amount of time and money on entertainment, but very little on productive activities.

We're alot of the same, but there still is kind of a north vs south sentiment. All the media trys to portray the sterotype kf the south as "gawd guns and beer shoeless racist rednecks". We do like guns and beer and the majority of southerners are christian, but its no where near civil-war era divide. I'd say we have a decent amount of comradery.

America of today reminds me of the description of the Roman Empire during its final decades. Supposedly, during the last decades the unhappy, angry Romans spent their time trying to entertain themselves, often with violent activites.
The anger in America can even be seen among the black people. black people want to slaughter muslims. Many of them do not care which muslims die; rather, they just want to kill muslims. This reminds me of the Jews who complain that Nazis are wrong for killing Jews, while the same time those Jews justify the killing of Palestinians.
Most white Americans do not accept the blacks as fellow citizens, except publicly on television. Most white Americans consider them to be an inferior race of people who should remain in their section of the city.
Many black people complain about their second-class status. They give the impression that they believe in fairness and equality. Many of them will stand on pedestals and condemn racism and unfair legal treatment. But then some of those same black people will join the white Americans and slaughter muslims.
not that that is wrong but it's hypocritical of blacks
If the black Americans were truly less violent and more fair than the white Americans, they would resist these acts of violence and insist that the muslims be treated in the same manner that white Americans are treated.
Africans are just as violent as white people, Chinese people, and all other people. There is no race that is truly peaceful. All races are violent and selfish. When one race is a victim, however, they jump on a pedestal and promote the nonsense that they are the peaceful, loving race.

>As in a guy from Florida, New York and LA in a room together. Do you feel like the same people?
No, we all feel pretty disconnected. It's best to imagine every state like it's own separate country. We have rivalries between state (mostly fueled by sports) and people have prejudices about others just because they're from a different state.
There's a pretty strong North vs South mentality. The southerners are lampooned as idiotic whites who are racist and kill niggers in the news and movies and TV shows. The Northerners see themselves as being more wealthy and liberal, even though they're whiter than the South in general.
There is also an East vs West mentality, though less severe. It mainly boils down to Californians feeling like their state is better than all other states. Some people agree, other disagree.
Whenever you think about the US as a whole, just think of it like a bunch of different countries, essentially like the EU or something except we can own guns and there's a lot of spics and niggers.
Let's Take a look at Jews
The innocent muslims(boo hoo) are defending their land from murderous, Zionist terrorists.
The Jews use the American people as a shield to hide behind.
The Jews exploit the Nazi situation to gain sympathy.
The Jews terrorize us by labeling us as Nazis if we criticize Israel.
The Jews also terrorize us by labeling us as anti-Semitic if we criticize Israel.
The Jews further terrorize us by labeling us as supporting terrorism if we do not want to kill Arabs.
The Jews extort billions of dollars each year from America by telling us that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, and therefore if we don't support them we will have only enemies in the Mideast.
Jewish authors fill American magazines, newspapers, and TV shows with lies and propaganda about what Israel is, how it became established.
The Jews exploit the Nazi situation and distort history by reminding us dozens of times each year about the “Holocaust”. The Jews never mention that every group of people has been a victim of war, and every group can claim to have been a victim of a holocaust or two. They also ignore their killings of Palestinians and their stealing of Palestinian land and property, which could be described as a Palestinian Holocaust.
The Jews tell us many times per year to remember the past or we will be doomed to repeat it. However, they remind us only of the past events that they benefit from. The forget about the Deir Yassin massacre, the Lavon Affair, the USS Liberty, and all their other murders, lies, and disgusting behavior. check out Noam Chomsky's account the of the Sabra and Shatila Massacre (another event of the past the Jews ignore so they can repeat it again in the future)

I don't think the differences in culture between US states is anywhere near as large as the EU though. I would say there's maybe 6-7 distinct cultural regions in the US and they're way more similar than countries like Italy and the U.K. for example
in short
It is OK to be anti-Semitic and "racist"
Jews call us “anti-Semitic” to manipulate us. For example, if you do not support Israel, you may be called anti-Semitic. This is as idiotic as being called a doo doo head.
The Jews also try to manipulate us by labeling us as “supporting terrorism” if we want to leave the middle east alone.
If a Jew calls you “anti-Semitic”, just respond:
“So what?"
Don't be intimidated. If somebody called you a doo-doo head you wouldn't care, would you? They why worry about being called an anti-Semite or racist?
It's just the reality of the situation.
After all, these are just buzzwords that have been repeated so long that they have lost their meaning and effectiveness at shouting down opposing views.
