The 21st century feels like a never-ending war...between each other as Americans. If someone is not stirring up controversy with others about a red Starbucks cup, someone else is sending hate mail to a zoo because they killed an animal. We now live in a world where it is normal for people to get offended by everything and anything, even things they are not involved in, causing fingers to be pointed. In the midst of everyone finding the strong need to blame someone else, we forget who we are as Americans and what truly matters.
While a mother is being harassed for taking her eyes off of her son long enough for him to get pulled by an alligator into a lagoon near Walt Disney World Hotel, others are fighting each other whether or not the alligator should have been killed.
The 2 year old boy still drowned to death.
While people are going against each other whether the cops killed Sandra Bland or that she was mentally unstable, people are bashing Sandra herself for not obeying the cops orders.
Sandra Bland was still found hanging in jail.
While people are threatening the Stanford boy who raped an innocent girl, others are threatening his dad for raising such a horrid child.
The 23 year old girl was still raped.
While people are blaming Muslims for the Orlando terror attack, other are fighting each other on gun laws, hoping to see change.
50 innocent people still died that night.
While police officers are being protested and rioted against for shooting Alton Sterling, others are arguing the world on if he deserved to be shot or not.
Alton Sterling was still shot to death.
People in today's world focus so much on who is at fault and what should be the consequence rather than the actual issue at fact: a horrible tragedy has happened and regardless of "who's fault it is", we as Americans should be standing together supporting those who are at a severe loss. Too many people are focusing on the color of our skin, religion, and gender rather than the tragic consequences that are taking place. No one can change the outcome of what has happened in the past, so what will the outcome be of the blaming, fighting and harassing?
"If we forget that we are one Nation under God, we will be a Nation gone under."
