Capitol Fourth

We were very disappointed with the Capitol Fourth presentation with how they had such a divisive song at the very end. It does nothing to unite the nation, in fact, it does quite the contrary. We have one national anthem and not two. As long as people who are at the top of their world and jobs and education and are doing very well are in your face trying to say they don't have anything. If they're the problem and they are presenting this, look in the mirror and say I made it in this country. Why are we trying to divide it by saying it's not possible to make it when it certainly is. We're not a systemic racist country. We are a country that has made mistakes, but a country that deserves better than to have two national anthems. It was very disappointing and we won't be watching it again.
