I’m Sorry America Turned Out This Way
Dear children of America, it wasn't supposed to be this way. America was supposed to be a place where you could grow up surrounded in freedom, where you weren't judged for who you are or where you came from. America was supposed to be a place where you could express your opinion without fear of being judged. America was supposed to be a place where all were accepted.
Clearly, this is not what America turned out to be.
People in America are judged for their skin color, their nationality, their religion. People first came to America to escape all this. But, all this followed those people to their new homeland.
You're all growing up in a place overtaken by hate and judgement, and the really sad thing is, it wasn't supposed to be this way.
