Anyone who believes America is freedom is upset.

People have come here to escape horrors in their homeland while many Black Americans were experiencing horrors right here. Our history is full of horrors and suffering. I honestly wonder how they got through it and rose to getting this stupid racist country to elect a Black President only to see it snap back to its hideous racist roots.

I do feel like we’re fighting a losing battle but I’m not quite ready to surrender.
