I am sick and tired of people telling me how great the United States Constitution is. I am also sick and tired of people telling me how great and beautiful this country is. If this country and constitution were so great, then we wouldn't have holidays named after Dr. Martin Luther King. If this country was so great, there wouldn't be any significance in the name Malcolm X. This country is founded on hatred, pure and simple. Everything that has led up to this point in time, is due to the suffering and pain that others have experienced, so that we could succeed. And if you think that I am not telling the truth, just look around you. Everywhere you turn there is either some racist asshole, or there is someone pointing a gun in your face.

So how do you stop it? Well I don't think that you can. Or if there is a way to stop it, I certainly don't see anyone trying to come forth and stop it. The politicians in this country with money coming out of their pockets, would rather spend time worrying about the rest of the world instead of the place that they live in. But then, why should they? The place that they live in is full of dinner parties, friendly debates and household cooking. On the other hand, the place I live in is full of ignorance, stupidity and pain. And I sure as hell don't want to be living in it any longer than I have to. So what I suggest is that we get someone in Washington who lives in the same country as the rest of us and we update documents that are themselves inherently racist.
