![]() Black men are being put in jail or prison for minor infractions that if they were white would get a slap on the wrist. ![]() Police have been brutally beating and killing black men, because they say “they were scared.” It seems as though America does not want black men to have these rights. ![]() In the Declaration of Independence it states, “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” My purpose for quoting this is because black men in America today face many hardships. These people are chasing the American Dream. Actually, you can say that the ones that seize the opportunities America has to offer are the true Americans. America is the land of the free and people come here because of all of the opportunities and to take advantage of these opportunities. There has been a lot of controversy on exactly what it means to be American. To be American is to be free to be yourself regardless of your race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or background. ![]() In America today, there has been many debates on what it means to be American. Everyone has their own views and no one is the same but we should embrace our differences and bring them together and expand our culture, it may be possible that you see that we are not so different after all. The American Dream can be described as many things, but my idea of the American Dream is where every American can come together as equals and our different views can be accepted and does not cause arguments or violence. No one has the exact same idea of the American Dream, there are many different views on what the American Dream is. What is the American Dream? To some the American Dream can be described as contributing to or serving our country, and to some it can be to simply raise a family in a stable environment and leave a legacy.
