America’s Ignominy

America, how can you look at yourself in mirror and not be repulsed by the ugliness of the prejudice that is still being perpetrated on a small minority of your fellow Americans.

Some of us have never experienced these desperate folk because they  are hardly seen or noticed on our public streets, day to day jobs  or even when at the supermarkets or department stores in shopping malls.

Exiled from the common American way of life, they have been forced to live outside our quiet suburban neighborhoods in their own  private communities blocked off by walls, fences and  security systems while in the cities they must seek refuge atop tall buildings in penthouses above the ugly urban avenues.

They meet at private clubs to keep their culture alive and even buy their  exotic fashions come from foreign lands like Rome or Paris.

These people cannot use public transportation the subways, buses, and  trains, that we take for granted,but out of fear they must whisked away to work or play in big cars with tinted windows  so they won’t be seen.

When they travel distances by plane it is usually in a private jet or if they  are forced to use commercial air they are secluded and segregated to first class.

And if that’s not bad enough these folk have bought large tracts of farmland only to be paid through government subsidies not to produce any crops!

However through all these hardships they have endured and contributed much to American society.

Quietly and mostly anonymously, their governmental, political and civic wishes have been met only because they have been bought and paid for by millions of dollars they had to donated to parties and lobbyists to help achieve their special wants and needs.

Should we not be shamed and embarrassed by the alienation of these people our fellow citizens in 21st Century America.

Sure, I hear people say,” But they’er not like us.” But I answer, it is time to allow these 1%, these filthy rich back to the common America and share the dream.
