American - a photo on Flickriver

American

            This photo serves two purposes for me-first, a continued reminder that kids shouldn't have to go to school fearing that they will be killed because it's far too easy to get a gun in this country and the majority of states don't even require background checks.  

Second, if you haven't already figured it out, probably the best thing about this country is it's diversity so if you are the type of person to get defensive and whitesplain everything with your fake nationalism, try listening to the diverse human story and learning.  Be kind.  Like the flag this little girl is holding, this country is in a state of flux and incompleteness....too many hateful racists feel like they can say and do whatever they want.  Trump hasn't made America "great" again.  He's just made it racist again.  Not to say these people didn't always exist....but I liked it much better when they were quieter.
