Dear America

Dear America,

Where the hell did we go wrong, was it when we took land from the Native Americans when it wasn't ours to take, was it when we killed and hurt them, is that the type of thanks they deserve for helping our ancestors?

Or perhaps it's when we brought people here as slaves, treated them poorly because they didn't have white skin, they didn't look like us, we thought we were the superior race?!

Was it when we had segregation even though the race of people who were once slaves have long been free?

Was it when a person could be killed for who they love?

Was it when we killed people who switched genders, or didn't conform to any, or one gender one day, the other gender the next, or no gender at all?

How about when we still have police brutality?

Or the election of a racist, sexist, orange skinned idiot that is ruling our country today?

Was it when parents got deported and kids put in cages?

Was it when a man had a cop kneel on his neck, holding him down as he said "I can't breathe."

What about when cops killed Breonna Taylor? Has she gotten justice yet?

What about the murder of Vanessa Guillen? George Floyd? Elijah McClain?

They didn't deserve to die.

In all these years, you think we would've learned, but it's still pretty much the same.

We treat no one else with the same amount of respect as we do ourselves.

Remember when god said to love each other as he has loved us??

And some white people have the audacity to say that whites people are still superior, that a stereotype defines all black people, they have the audacity to say the N word, they say that white privileged doesn't exist.

You are blind America.

Dear America,

You are lucky the young kids of today are more awake to what is going on in their environment than their grandparents.

You are lucky that there are people who are fighting for justice of those who have been wrongly accused of crimes.

You are lucky to have people fighting for a better earth, a long with others in other countries.

The younger generation is upset, disappointed, angry that they have to clean up the mess of those before us who've created it. We better the world for the future of the next generation, hoping they won't be placed with same burden.

America has problems, most that could've been fixed long ago if we had been more awakened.

But the government, you are still blind America.
