Open letter to America

I want to start by apologising for any spelling or grammatical errors as this is from my phone but I had to write.

 I want to start off by saying black Americans, Muslims, immigrants, homosexuals, transgenders ,Christians, those stand up for sanctity of marriage, and countless others I am sorry, sorry for the hate, the malice and the injustice. "United we stand" sounds so far away and sadly it is only drifting farther and farther away. As so many fight for equality, fight to be seen and fight to be heard so often the lines of division only seem to deepen.
We act as if we can be objective and I'm quite sure that in situations like Ferguson, South Carolina and Baltimore that is quite impossible.

We justify the actions of so many others where deep down I am not even sure we believe our own justifications. We stand so loudly against "them" that we engage in verbal assaults with anyone that comes close to taking a stand with "them" We fight to be right, we fight to not be wrong, we fight to be heard with any means necessary. I ask you this is that what we should be fighting for? Should we not be fighting for unity? For each other? For accountability of actions. How can we sit back and see Fergusen, Baltimore, south Carolina and the hundreds of other places around the world and not demand accountability.

Please stop justifying police brutality. There is an obvious need for a reform in the system of accountability in law enforcement. Those who think that are not anti police. Rioters it is never okay to react in anger and violence. Very rarely is the path of least resistance a wise choice. So why are not both these sides of any of these issues not being held accountable. I am not talking about judicially. I truly believe the ones closest hold the most weight.Citizens of America it is not okay to disrespect of the Citizens of this great country Ever. Male, female, child, black , white, Asian, homosexual, transgender it does not matter. If they breath the deserve your respect. If you do not think so it is time to step up and fight for AMERICA. Not "your" country.

Where the Men go so will society. Men it is time to stop acting like boys and putting you in front of the rest of the world. Your rights stops where the rights of others starts. Stop enforcing power that isn't yours, stop taking, stop bullying, stop stealing, stop manipulating, stop striking fear. Who is at the forefront of almost all of these situations Men and quite sadly "boys". You do not have right to show and release your frustrations, doubts and anger in any fashion you desire. That is what boys do. Men they fight for something bigger and someone bigger than themselves. They fight for a nation, for a people, for a neighbour. United We Stand. But that cannot happen until Men Stand United and lay down our boyish ways.
