TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The US was built by rich white men....using cheap labor/slaves....for rich white men.
Manifest Destiny, anyone?
That legacy has stood the test of time.
The country is racist...and still is....but it was veiled to a degree, and hidden in the dark and under rocks, but now is out into the bright sun light for all to see.
History has shown that the US was never keen on having immigrants come seeking a new life here....but for many reasons, they continue to come, seeking a dream that often is denied to them.
Freedom, liberty, and justice for all.....well, it depends. Wealth and power rule the day...and equality is still more of a dream and not a reality yet. We have a legal system, not a justice system, and the law is not applied equally to all. It took a century for women to get the right to vote. Civil rights are being eroded. Freedoms are for those in power as they set the rules on what freedoms the rest of society gets.
The struggle for the more perfect union continues.
