What Happened to The Mixing Pot ?
A land invaded by Europeans
Soil soaked with the blood of the Natives and Slaves
Immigrants come in droves to get the great American Dream
Little do they know it'll be nearly impossible to achieve
Standards set so high, that they will hardly be met
Standard one be male and your almost there
Standard two be white and you'll always right
Standard three fight for you right to be free
Standard four god forbid you were born poor
We say America is a welcoming mixing pot
that your free to do what you want as long as it is law abiding
but we prosecute those who have a different religion, skin color, sexual orientation,
sexual identity, and socioeconomic status
So what happens to a mixing pot that refuses to be mixed?
It says that racism doesn't exist when there is a major racial divide in a broken justice system
that because of your religious affiliation there is a chance you could be deported based on a xenophobic ban
that as a woman you have no right to your body and the decision on what to do with your body is not your choice
America was never great and it will never be great until we acknowledge the fact that we have serious accountability issue
