African Americas are known to be very resilient ever since they were brought over to this country. Even though they were treated with injustice and disrespect, they still overcame their obstacles. In fact, over 100 years ago, they were freed and were able to transition from slaves to American citizens. Today, African Americans can walk down the street with pride knowing that there is a black president of the United States. African Americans have climbed their way to the top and they fully understand that the sky is the limit. Furthermore, African Americans can embrace all of America and not just their own race. They have fought for their rights. Now it is time to fight for the rights of other Americans that are being persecuted. Barack Obama stated, “I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together.” Therefore, as individual races, we can try to improve America on our own. However, if we want to move forward and end our issues such as, racism, discrimination, poverty, Iraq, and so much more, America has to fight as one union. Overall, as a citizen of the United States and I proud African American, I believe we can all come together in peace and conquer some of the most deadliness diseases that are slowly killing the American people today. We have to put away our differences and fight for what is ours. It is now time for African Americans to protest for Latin Americans, Native Americans, and Homosexual Americans rights just like they protested for their own. If we can come together and fight for each other, I believe that America would on its way to becoming a “perfect union”.
