There is obvious much debate about the Confederate flag and the "real" history behind it. There seems to be a great division among the people of the Home of the FREE and the BRAVE. I seriously hate the division that seems to still be a part of our nation. I hate to even think about the fact that racism really does still exist. As much progress we have made through history...we still seem to be a nation stuck.
We seem to be a nation divided lately in our opinions and our beliefs. Which is why TODAY is so important to remember what it is we are celebrating and why we can celebrate it! We are the melting pot....that much is real. We are all full of our own ideas, beliefs, and agendas. We are a nation full of different cultures, but different races? I never understood that.....we all vary in our skin color yes...and our background in our cultures...but are we all the same RACE? I don't equate race to skin color....our race is HUMAN...and we are ALL human. At least I think....I question some...but..really.......I'm sure some wonder about me at times too! lol
The Fourth of July was the date selected to remember the birth of the UNITED States of America as an independent nation. I think sometimes we forget what UNITED means....ahem...that's JMO!
For today, let's put aside our different opinions and remember that those are what make us unique and special. We still deserve love and respect despite those differences....Let's all come together and remember why we are here and why we are able to express our unique difference...and let's celebrate ...Let's celebrate our race...our human race! Let's celebrate and be UNITED this July 4, 2015!
Can we be a nation UNITED this Fourth of July??? I love ya USA! I love each and everyone of you, my fellow Americans!
LOVE,
Marcy
