A Melting Pot

Tweet

When I was growing up in the 50s I heard this term a lot. It was America and we were proud of our diversity. We still are a melting pot, nothing has changed. We are Irish, Jewish, Mexican, French Canadian, African, Ukrainian, Native American, and Norwegian just to name a few. We have all different cultures living together in neighborhoods across the nation. That is one of the interesting things about our country, one of the things that make us unique. And there used to be respect, consideration, and realism. I don't think I've heard that term for decades. It's as if we no longer are proud of who we are. With The Putz putting his racist two cents worth into the mix we really have to walk a tightrope and be so careful nowadays. Mexicans crossing the border aren't all rapists and drug sellers. He is such a nasty man. And there is DeSantis with his LGBTQ uprising. But it doesn't change the facts. We are a melting pot. Now we need to stand up and be proud of that fact, not sneak around and hide who we really are amongst of ethnic slurs and sexist behaviors. Be strong, be brave, be who you are.
