What is America?
We are white, black, brown, red, yellow … we are the rainbow.
We are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, evangelicals, atheist, agnostic. We embrace all who worship and those that do not.
We are Latino American Indian, Asian, German, French, English, Italian, Irish, African, Portuguese, Iranian, Israeli, multi-racial and multi-cultural. We come from every corner of this earth.
We speak English and Spanish, and numerous other languages, and in a variety of dialects. We speak with a southern drawl, a southern accent with a twist, a western twang, a New York, or New England accent … or accents influenced by languages and cultures throughout the globe.
We are tall and short, thin and fat, fit and trim, young and old.
We are heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, queer, LGBTQ, and transgender.
We are rich, we are poor, we are middle class.
We are the place on earth where those who are oppressed seek refuge.
We are the land of opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs, for those who come here seeking a more promising future for themselves and their families.
We are members of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, Green Party, independents, and those affiliated with any number of political organizations.
We are a place where we listen to divergent ideas, celebrate free speech, even if we do not agree with what is being said.
WE ARE EVERYONE … AT LEAST WE USED TO BE.
