Make America great again?? Was America great when we first began?

Were all people equal with inalienable rights? No, just the wealthiest men who were white.

Were we great when we conquered and wiped out the natives? When we marched who was left to their forced reservations?

When we kidnapped black people by force and enslaved them? Then “freed” them with promises, we never gave them?

When we didn’t help Jews fleeing from Nazis? Our country is guilty, we did these atrocities.

America has never been great, is the truth. Our foundation was built using force and abuse.

With disdain for the other, we denied their humanity. To believe we have ever been great is insanity.

So now it is time to rebuild our foundation. Open the heart and the soul of our nation.

Atone for our sins of the past that were lethal. Create a new country where we’re all truly equal.

Then on the 4th of July, celebrate, we have healed from our past and can finally be Great! ❤️
