Why is it so important to recognize the vast array of cultures we have here? Why is it so important for America to not be white? Because, America never was white to begin with, nor should it act like it is completely white. This is what America is known for, yet does not recognize that it was not white to begin with and not fully white. America is a college pamphlet that shows you one of every race and when you show up its just a ton of tan white people with dark hair.
America is a ‘MELTING POT’ though! As they so drilled into my brain every history and sociology class I took. That is what we are known for, that is why everyone wants to come here right? The big American melting pot dream; We have people from every where! We unwrap them like candy, eat their culture, and throw them away.
Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue over to America and stole and killed, I mean found and befriended, NOPE, I mean stole and fucking mass genocided a whole population. Intentionally, I mean poisoned buffalo just to kill off the entire Native American population and when that didn’t work, a law was passed where the government would pay $10 dollars per each dead Native American you brought in.
You sure do love making Native Americans look like Indians not Americans. You love your spirit animal, your spirituality, your earth, but hate your founders and love your settlers.
Why is America so obsessed with being color blind? AMERICA IS NOT WHITE. By saying you are colorblind you are actually saying that you just see white and ignore discrimination. We are different that is the point! AMERICA HAS COLOR AND IT IS NOT FOREIGN.
You sure do love your Tacobell, Cafe Rio, Cinco De Not-a-Real-Holiday Mayo, your Cabo trips, but hate Mexicans, hate your neighbor.
You sure love your Caribbean cruises, your box braids, rappers, love your aesthetically worn looking Tupac shirt, love your one black friend but not our black America.
