AMEN!
As someone who is a second-generation American, and has been back "home" regularly, I can recite that pledge with real fervor, believe me.
As messed up as this country might be, there is NO PLACE ELSE in the world that a black person can live the kind of life that is possible here. We seem to forget how FORTUNATE we are sometimes. If any of you want, I can arrange a trip to stay with my relatives so you can understand what it really MEANS to have a constant food source, indoor plumbing, transportation, and all the things that we take for GRANTED in this country.
We are spoiled. Even the option of not saying the pledge of allegiance is one that a lot of people in this world DON'T HAVE. Being less than fervent in your patriotism meant that the Tonton Macoute would be knocking on your door in Haiti.
