Like myself and millions more, Barack Obama’s identity and background spans more than just one continent. While it is true that the modern day Homo Sapien — You and I — started in Africa, we have also evolved throughout the world and adapted to regions we could call ‘home’.
Our history as human beings is evident in our influences, our history and our values. Our family tree is expansive and diverse. To deny this fact with socially divisive language as Americans are known for today, we ensure that we forget about our history and true identity as human beings.
We can no longer afford this divisive tone in America. We can no longer afford to categorize each other. Doing so only causes further harm to our future and progress here in America and around the world.
If we as human beings and Americans truly desire change, we’ll change our divisive tone and recognize that America and its home continent — North America — belongs to no one individual or “social group”.
We must change our ways not just in Washington, D.C., but around America as well. Do not sit idle waiting for change in the White House. Real change begins with you. Change in the White House is simply a bonus. We are a nation of 300 Million individuals. There is power and influence in numbers, if we only so desire to have it.
Here’s to peace and unity in America.
