Yesterday was Veteran’s Day and I was not in the mood to
celebrate. Sure I am grateful for their service and I even text my veteran
friends to let them know I was proud of them. America just hasn’t been feeling
like land of the free or home of the brave to me. There are a lot issues
stemming from the defunding of Planned Parenthood to the police brutality on
Black people. Why is birth control still a topic of discussion in politics? Why
are police gunning down Black people daily? Why was a teen girl assaulted by a
school resource officer? Why is history repeating itself? What happened to
America?
Oh goodness, Mercedes! You're preachin' to the choir here! I ask the same questions over and over. I don't know what the answers are, but I am very concerned about the direction we are headed as a country. :-( Let's keep talking with each other!
