Equality in America
Someone once told me America is the land of Freedom, Justice and Equality for all. But I responded: Not until…
Not until all the Natives are not confined to the reservations, and are able to play a prosperous role in our society; having the final say over land that is rightfully theirs and contributing their divine knowledge of the Natural World to build a healthy society…
Not until all African Americans have fully equal chances of excelling in America as Whites do and are not confined to the ghettos…
Not until all people living in trailer parks have a good chance of rising out of poverty and are not called trash for being poor…
Not until all non-European immigrants are given fully equal treatment to European, and Euro-American immigrants in these United States of America…
Not until any and all obsession with Whiteness in this country is long gone…
Not until Islamophobia is no longer tossed around on news networks like Fox News…
Not until anti-Semitic jokes are no longer made…
Not until White people as a whole group are not shoved under the bus for crimes that only some Whites are guilty of both now and in history…
Not until people with disabilities are no longer discriminated against or assumed hopeless by society…
Not until women are paid equal to men across the board-and are no longer mistreated and thought of as objects anywhere…
And last but not least, not until all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people are given fully equal treatment to non-LGBT people…
Not until then can we say that America is a country of Justice, Equality, and Freedom for All!!
