Time to fix our country

We must start by changing are thinking. First is ALL LIVES MATTER, when you say only black lives matter it is racist, when you put a color in front of anything it changes to racism, i.e. only Japanese lives matter. We must teach the world or at least our country to respect itself. The only real reason to ever kill someone is if they are in the act of trying to kill you. All people living in America must be educated to a college degree and school is now a must to get a job This will be hard because it will mark the end to racism and poverty. Too many people want to keep others down, or at a lesser class than they are. Remember everyone is your equal, if not your better on the outside on, the inside of our minds no one is better than yourself. There will always be people with more money than you and be people with more friends than you, but happiness is created within you. Know there are still some beliefs in society that education is a privilege, no longer it must be mandatory in order to live in the United States.

We are no longer free, we have are children and the world to support. Like it or not change is here and it has a cost. We must grow together.
