“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

And to the republic for which it stands

One nation

Under God

Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice For All”...

Are you sure? I stopped saying the pledge

Because...

 

●     Laws and legislation have been passed

To REGULATE

Basic RIGHTS,

For every Homosapien…

But the 1st, 9th, and 14th Amendments?

Forgotton.

“Protect the children”

The children don’t need protection from Themselves.

 

●     Not to mention

From the beginning

War… Terror… False accusations

Against Savages.

Against Slaves.

Against other Whites.

Against the Republic for which it Stands.

Are we really Free?

 

●     Jim Crow,  and segregation

“No rights for you”

Scott v. Sandford- Your are still property.

Plessy v. Ferguson- Seperate is equal.

Really now?

 

               ●     Little Rock Nine…

National Guard.

Was that really a necessity?

We DENIED the right for Education.

We DENIED Integration.

We were Denying Rights.

 

●     “Homeless drunks and druggies”

“Maybe they shouldn't have ruined their own lives”

Look who gave the Poison to them...

Thanks…

Now I’m apart of the Stereotype

Immigrants forced on my ancestors

While they made our culture a disgrace

 

●     Roaring 20’s : Women's suffrage ends.

1940’s :War, the work force dominated by women.

1950’s:  degrated to Stay at home wifes.

1970:  Equal Rights Act, again,

Did NOT pass…

21st Century: Women in the front line

2015: Gay Rights…

2016-17: Transgender bathrooms

Excuse me..

Aren't we the land of the FREE?

“Certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS”!

 

●     Land of the Free?

Not what history says.

Speaking of History…

This land was made by Immigrants,

And fought Savages on Their Land

Made them Conform to the “Right”

And forcibly erase the “Wrong”

Tell me.

Why Nationalism is a good thing

For the citizens,

When the only thing to take pride in

Has been destroyed for Many,

Minority groups.

 

●     Dakota and Access Pipelines,

“I’m sorry that isn’t your land”

“Suck it up and live, we changed our course

For the same reason you guys are fighting against it”…

That doesn’t make any sense,

But they don’t care, because we are

Because I am

 A Minority.

 

●     Black Lives Matter

“No All Lives Matter”

True

 But listen here,

1619 forced Slavery,

1865 Abolished Slavery,

1964 Civil Rights Act,

1965 Voting rights Act

They are still fighting for Equality in their Home Country.

Not to mention the wage gap.

What tragedy in your race did society and government do to you?

 

   “Every man is created Equal

With certain Unalienable Rights

Among these

Life, Liberty, And the Pursuit of Happyness”

I’m not sure…

Not anymore.
