Glaude: There’s an Idea Underneath the Constitution that America Must Always Be a White Nation

However, he says there’s “an idea underneath it” that this country must “always be a white nation.”

He continued, “And it’s also the case, I want to say this, that there’s always been this tension between America as an idea and America as blood and soil. This is the distinction between good nationalisms and bad nationalisms. We think we’re driven by the Constitution but there’s been an idea underneath it that this country must be and must always be a white nation.”
