An American

2 min read

Editor:

I checked out my heritage. I am an American. I was conceived, born, raised an American. My culture molded me into being an American. It gave me an attitude of freedom, a code of honor, the right to vote for all Americans, all people are created equal, correct injustice for all, the right to worship freely, schooling and as a Christian nation, blessings from God.

The bad things about being an American, we don’t listen to God always, we don’t get all the great things as Americans and as Americans we are hurt, hated, loved, bullied, treated bad because of skin color, dress, been looked down at by rich and other things. I’m still American.

I’m not black, white or yellow. I’m an American. We are not Polish American, African American, Chinese American, European American or any other. We are Americans, Americans, Americans or Americans. We have tradition in us but we are Americans first. We will fight for America someday.

I guarantee you no one worries about skin color in a fox. We are concerned about the color of all Americans’ blood soaking in the ground of the world. Every life matters, but Americans we don’t leave behind.
