Does David Brooks have a point with his "The Uses of Patriotism" column? | The Tylt

The column:

Some think David’s column minimizes the experiences of many minorities. His experience with American symbols is different than what minorities experience, simply because of his race. David is willfully ignoring the huge divide between groups. 

Critics say David’s column is tone deaf and makes too many assumptions.

But some people think David has a point. America needs something to unify it, something that transcends race.
