Thinking and still thinking

I am sure by now my blog post is late but to honest I honestly have been a bit blocked. Like I am not sure what to write and to be realistic I over think too much. My family has been personally effected with the corona-virus not necessarily financially but with actually having it. And to be honest it can be something very scary. Because it is everywhere. I open my social media and all I see is go fund me pages and the crazy thing is that it is mostly minorities. I mean I am not saying other people don’t have it but I think is the minorities the one that is seeing it much harder.

We are people who don’t have the luxury to just stay home because we don’t have the means to survive. And some of them when they are even sick don’t have the means to go to the hospital because they don’t have insurance to get medications and have to pay everything cash. And lets not say the working conditions they work on. This is what it means to be an immigrant in American I guess. I guess I see on a daily basis what most don’t see and that has honestly made me see true colors.

I mean look at how people are protesting and we can say nothing because it is a right. Like I have been thinking should we have a limit or does being American really mean we can do whatever we want when we want. Or like Du Bois says “either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy America” . Are we too selfish?

For my project I have been thinking of doing like a college of everything being American means to me. To be continue.
