The Branding of US citizenship


 Before there was a United States there were people. In the purpose of these people traveling halfway across the world centuries ago what's to find a freedom to find and Independence. This freedom and this Independence this great new world, was sold to the old world, and was sold at a cost.  The new freedoms were sold at a a cost that vary among cultural lines. After the Inception of the Constitution or the creation of the Amendments and the bills of Rights, came The Branding rebranding in constant refurbished mint of American freedom. 1776 was the year that Independence was declared, in 1789 was the year the Constitution became a document. Some might call a living breathing document. Well sometimes things that live and breathe find ways to suffocate themselves. All men are created equal, is the phrase that resonates from the various documents that makes US citizens of this nation. However we all know that's not how it went. You may state that all men are created equal, but then say that other men are only two thirds of a man. That was the first crack in the armor of our Constitution and it came very early on. There were people who could see that these two circumstances were contradictory to one another. It's something was equal you would use an equal equivalent sign not a fraction,  so therefore they fractionalized citizens for the benefit of themselves. This is not very different than what we see today. 

How many times have these documents been amended? How many times must be documents be corrected?  How often must we attempt to breathe life into a limp shell of a being? 
How many times must we Define what rights are?  How many times must we amend the difference between right and wrong?  How many times must we modify the criteria to determine what an American citizen truly is? 
Much has been said about religious freedom, rights to Affordable Health Care, rights to clean water and air, affordable energy, and a healthy food supply, but in spite of all of this, very little has been done. 
What work does the Congress do, that directly benefits the American citizen?  A health-care bill that is longer than the Bible does little to help the average American. Who can understand something that they cannot even read?  Who can navigate something that has so many loops and twists and turns and curls that you often begin at the same spot that you ended. Nowhere.  What good is it to be a US citizen if you are a targeted because of your heritage, targeted because of your place of origin, targeted because of your race or the color of your skin? Riddle yourself that. 
Donald J Trump is the president of the United States and has said that he will run the United States like a business. Well, business is business and culture is culture, but you cannot run a culture like a business. Businesses and cultures operate under two different sets of standards. The bottom line in business is to make money for the business. The bottom line in a culture is to preserve the culture, so in America we must determine whether our culture is strictly of a business nature or of a humanitarian one. Will the needs of business supersede the needs of people?  Will the party if you control the party of many be in the interest of the masses or in the interests of the small number in control. Let's not pretend that it won't be in the interest of the small number that are in control. 
In the early dawn of the current Administration, we've seen business mixed with politics. Administration officials advising people to purchase merchandise from persons directly connected to the administration. However if the business interest supersedes the ethics interest, there will be no action, and so far we have seen them and expect to see none.
Why would the Trump Administration need a trade deal from China if they sit down in private and workout trade deals at the dinner table. North American Free Trade Agreement?  Not for long if it does not benefit this Administration financially. No matter how uneducated or educated you are it's hard to not see the facts.
No one wants to discuss slavery too hard of a topic. No one wants to discuss how it happened it's a very painful situation. And for these reasons no one is dedicated to solving it's residual and resonating and Rippling and constant effect on what it is to live in the United States. It's hard not to see what the original plan was... To enslave one culture to build up the strength of yet another.     These men sail halfway across the world, to escape a culture that they deemed to be oppressive, only to create a darker more oppressive culture on the other side of the ocean.
Given the scope of time, it's become difficult to ignore the enormous impact of this grave error in judgement. (Slavery.)
I'm being where the citizens are not. 
There should be no thing as a second-class citizen in the great country of the USA!  But there is.

In pre-civil war America, it was easy to distinguish the second-class citizens from the first.. Because their appearance was different. Their hair and dress were different. Their language and culture were different. Their reason for being in this place was far different. The Negro was the original second-class citizen in the United States of America. No one can deny that. But if you fast forward to present-day United States of America, there are even more second-class citizens than there were during the Civil War, and very little has changed about the situation other than the way we identify and separate the second class group from the first. 
In the early days of America we separated second-class citizens by color. The resources were much more vast and the powerful majority were dedicated to spreading the resources around as they saw fit rather than based on need.  Are we seeing a pattern here ? 
The so-called founding fathers wrote and talk and spoke of freedoms and Liberties and justice, but practiced oppression and Injustice. They wrote of all men being equal, only to add the asterisk that some men were less than others. 
Everything that government passed down on the masses, was hailed as a great wonderful thing even though this very thing will come close to destroying the whole experiment.  Because in reality that's what it is, an experiment, a great experiment to see what happens when you mix cultures from around the world into one homogeneous culture.  The problem with the experiment is that there is no control. Pun is intended. There's no control factor to substantiate the results of this experiment. You only have to trust the words of the people at the top. That's not much of an experiment from a scientific standpoint. 
So in 2017 we separate the citizenry based on a whole array of demographics.  Race, ethnicity, education, wealth, social status, background, and reputation just to name a few. 
The United States of America is a beautiful place on Earth to live,  but the aristocracy of this group will either sink or sail this ship into the future.  The second class citizen has been tied. The second class citizen has been hogtied. 
Your vote has very little power against the dollar bill. The needs of the mini has very little leverage against the needs of the few.  If you have become very adept an extraction of resources from the masses,you will continue to drain them until there is nothing left. There's nearly nothing left.  When you drain the planet of its Global energy resources, you will continue to train until there's nothing left. There's nearly nothing left.

There's little to nothing left to take from the American people anymore. They took everything they could from Africa to build this land.  They took everything they could from the natives to secure this land.
