America

America, The dream, the vision, the promised land. But is that really true?
America, Land of the free, home of the brave. Where all men are created equal. But are ALL people really treated equally?
America, The place where dreams come true, Where people can build their new lives in a safe environment, But is it really safe for everyone?
No. America isn’t what everyone says it to be. America isn’t the dream for everyone, America is the dream for white men.
Yes, America is the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
No. All men are not created equally. Women are not seen as equal to men. Blacks, Hispanics, Latinos, Asians, and other minorities are not treated as equals to whites.
Yes. America can be the place where your biggest dreams come true. Most Americans have the opportunity to build their new lives in a safe environment, But not all Americans.
America is built on a set of ideals. America can live up to its expectations as soon as we fight to meet those ideals.

America isn’t there yet. But we can be.
We are America. We hold the power to change these issues. We can make this the land of the free, where all people are treated equally. But we have to work together.
