america.

This land was made for the straight white man. None other. It's based on hypocrisy, lies, and unfulfilled promises. Why set guidelines when people in power can not follow the constitution and or abuse it? Why create a constitution solely meant for one gender and race? It became an invitation reserved for the pale masculinity.
How can a country be referred to “the land of the free?” There are Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks, Natives, Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and  Transgenders who are in a constant state of fear. This land is only free to the ones who took it away. To those who committed genocide. And the ones who were victims are still in slaved. Stripped to our bare skin and walking through a fog. Fending for our lives.
How can there be a slogan that sums up that this country was great for EVERYONE. “Make America Great Again.” What time in America was ever great? The invasion among the Natives? Maybe when slaves were out picking cotton? When women were treated as lesser than a disabled dog on three limbs? Or when every colored human being would have to fight for everything that was taken away from them? Education, rights, and their own life. When an entire religion was/is being blamed for someone else's actions? All the way to the LGBTQ being denied access to marriage and dining in? So tell me what time is this slogan speaking of?
This land in which we call free and great is at the boiling point. This country is a paper with smudges filled with a variety of colors. And now comes the whiteout.
