Patriots Pen Essay

Founding Fathers What did you mean by “all men are created equal”? Did you really mean all white men and not women? People who weren’t like you were treated poorly. You didn’t treat non-white people fairly. Let’s go back to the Civil War. You fought and killed many people so you could have people do everything for you. They were suffering so they could do labor. That’s horrible. Why would you do that? What if you were a slave? Would you like to be whipped? You made people do things because they had a different skin color than you. So what? What’s the difference? They just have a different skin color. What I’m saying is that you should have treated everybody equally and not just whites. Thanks to Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and lots of other non-whites, they are now allowed to go to public schools, eat at the same restaurant’s and watch movies together. We are still working on racism, but you didn’t help at all. I feel that normal citizens can make the big difference.
