Constantly we hear about how we need to be as one, the country needs to overcome racial and bias issues. While I do agree with this and hope that one day it will happen, I don’t hold my breath.
I don’t think it will happen because those same people who want or say they want to put the differences aside, cling so hard to the labels they are comfortable with. For example, how many rainbow stickers do you see attached to the back of car windows while driving around town? What is February known as? It isn’t Valentines Day or the month of love.
The stickers and the month are a “celebration of who we are” items, when in fact those items are labeling you and setting you apart from others. I think if we all said we are Americans or Anti-Americans (whichever you prefer) and left it to those two choices, maybe we would get along better, or maybe a huge war would break out and we would kill each other off. Either way, don’t you think it’s a step in the right direction to remove the labels from society?
