Kennedy spoke for most Irish-Americans when he said:

believe in an America where the separation of Church and State is absolute -- where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be a Catholic) how to act.... If my church attempted to influence me in a way which was improper or which affected adversely my responsibilities as a public servant, sworn to uphold the Constitution, then I would reply to them that this was an improper action on their part, that it was one to which I could not subscribe, that I was opposed to it, and that it would be an unfortunate breach -- an interference with the American political system. I am confident there would be no such interference (Howard, Doyle, et al., 84).'"

The recent election of Barack H. Obama as the first black president of the United States, has enfranchised the population of black Americans whose identity was stolen when their ancestors were traded to the Americas as slaves. Their road has been a long one of civil rights, and a goal to establish their rights as Americans.

Americans saw that goal come to fruition in January, 2009, when Obama was sworn in as president.

If there is an identity in America that remains disenfranchised from the mainstream American identity, is it that of the original Americans, the Native Americans. A near annihilated people, and the original residents of the country known as the United States, Native Americans have assimilated into the European and other cultural identity that is America (Scholl, Mark, 2006, 47). While no reparations have been made to Native Americans, there have been economic and social concessions made. Unfortunately, those concessions have not served Native Americans well, and they continue to face the problems associated with a disenfranchised culture in America, even though they are the original Americans.

The identity of the American is one that resides in each different culture that can be found in America: English, Irish, French, Hispanic, Japanese, Chinese, and all the other cultures who have immigrated here, and who were here from the beginning.
