Why must my people cower in fear at the hands of our oppressors who long ago promised equality?

We have sweat, bled, and died for this country, yet our blood is not enough to wash away their hate.

God's love is steadfast, strong, and true, it knows not race nor gender nor age; yet the sons of man continue to treat this fact with such frivolity.

Why are we unable to wipe away this resentment from the unknown and strange, why are we unable to create a new, clean slate?

Why?

Why is it that a people of such rich lineage is disgraced? Our history rivals the most precious china

We must look to God and BE the solution.
