Mission Statement

Welcome to the Occurrence on the Border! We are here to discuss all things that involve American multiculturalism. Of course this includes politics and international relations, but also culture, music, and sport.
The biggest example of Ameri-Multi is our newest president. Obama is famously a product of immigration and a middle-american upbringing. His world view has served him well even early on, giving him insight on Iran and North Korea.
Music is the United States' biggest influence on world culture. From Jazz to the British Invasion of the '60s, the US has long been engaged in a give and take with Latin America and Europe. Nowadays, you can visit a shantytown in Africa and see a Tupac picture hanging on the wall in a one room shack.
Globally, however, sport has been the best way of cultural exchange. From the Olympics to the World Cup, nations have tested themselves in this peaceful and often ground-breaking diplomacy. The US has only recently seen value in such and (except for baseball) has little interest in the games the world plays.
There it is. The mission statement. The United States was and is a country born of immigration. Only through acknowledging and embracing this history can we truly become a beacon and inspiration for the world. This is what Occurrence on the Border is about.
