5. WE ARE FAMILY!

i SEE ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL MIXED CROWDS DANCING AND SINGING TOGETHER, AND THAT SONG JUST KEEPS GOING THROUGH MY MIND! MAN, WE ARE A BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD MIXED UP IN US!
WE ARE FAMILY! I'VE GOT ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WITH ME! WE ARE FAMILY!
IT'S LIKE WALT WHITMAN'S POEM ABOUT LAUGHING BREATHING CURIOUS HUMAN FLESH! AND THE WORDS OF THE HOPI ELDERS ALSO ARE WITH US, ABOUT PUSHING OUT OF OUR MINDS OUR OLD WORDS ABOUT STRUGGLE AND JUST OPENING OURSELVES TO THE CHANGE THAT IS COMING!
SO MUCH PAIN, SO MUCH SORROW, AND NO WE MUST NEVER FORGET THOSE WHO SUFFERED, AND I WON'T DARE TO PRETEND THAT THEIR SUFFERING WAS JUSTIFIED OR EVEN NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THIS MELDING, THIS MIXING. BUT MAYBE WE CAN CHANGE AND GROW AND BECOME SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL,SO DYNAMIC, SO COMPREHENSIVE AND UNDERSTANDING ALL OF THE NEEDS OF EVERYBODY, NOT PUNISHING SO MUCH AS GUIDING AND SEEKING THE NECESSARY COMPROMISES BETWEEN ALL OF US: RICH, POOR, RED, BLUE, NERDS, HUNTERS, FARMERS, LEFT, RIGHT ASIAN, AFRICAN, OCEANIAN, EUROPEAN, AND NATIVE AMERICANS,ALL!
I AM DESCENDED PARTLY FROM EUROPEANS WHO CAME TO THIS COUNTRY TO SEE NEW PLACES, MEET NEW PEOPLE, AND LEARN NEW IDEAS. THEY WEREN'T VERY BRAVE OR STRONG OR SMART, SO THEY COULDN'T BLOCK THE BULLIES WHO CAME WITH THEM VERY MUCH (ALTHOUGH SOME FEW DID MANAGE A TOUCH HERE AND THERE, USING THE CIVIL WAR TO HELP END SLAVERY AND GATHERING PETITIONS TO HELP STOP THE GENOCIDE OF NATIVE AMERICANS). PLEASE FORGIVE THEM; THEY WERE BEING BULLIED,TOO, AND THERE WAS AN IMPLIED THREAT IN WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO OTHERS.
DURING THE PAST 8 YEARS, I HAVE WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED, HOW THE BULLIES COULD HAVE SEIZED ALL THE POWER. ALL THESE WHITE PEOPLE WORKING AND CONTRIBUTING AND VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA, WE ARE ALSO BEING LIBERATED. NOW I KNOW THE OTHER REASON WE CAME HERE: TO FIND ALLIES. AND HERE YOU ALL ARE, AND WE LOVE YOU! REALLY WE DO, AND WE ARE TRULY SORRY THAT WE FAILED YOU SO OFTEN, AND TO THINK THAT YOU WILL FORGIVE, IS JUST OVERWHELMING! THANK YOU, ALL!

WE ARE FAMILY! I'VE GOT ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WITH ME!

BECAUSE MAYBE THERE IS A REASON BEYOND WHAT WE KNOW, AND MAYBE IT IS TRULY NO ACCIDENT THAT WE ARE CALLED THE U.S. BECAUSE THAT SPELLS "US"! AND MAYBE TOGETHER WE CAN FIND AN ANSWER THAT WORKS FOR ALL OF US! AS BARACK OBAMA SAYS, THERE IS ONLY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
