YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLoving America has become something of a faux pas.
Across all aisles of the political spectrum, America hatred is now a rite of passage. On the left, America is a nation built on racism, oppression, and inequality. On the right, America has lost its former glory.
But some of us have some nice things to say about a country that has always represented hope, dreams, equality, and freedom to millions of people across our globe. This Fourth of July, I wanted to share my story with you guys in the hopes that it will inspire you to change your mind if you're not America's biggest fan.
Happy 250th Birthday, America!
