This is MY America!

I'm not asking you to do anything, apologize for anything, or feel guilty about anything that had fuck all to do with you personally. I don't even have any suggestions as to what conclusions you should draw from any of this. All I'm saying is: you gotta start from a place of honesty, in order to move forward with integrity. That's all. White-washing the past with a contrived American "creation myth" about the noble Pilgrims doesn't help anybody.

Noble Pilgrims? Of course. Noble and pious, they were. They were also the most intolerant and oppressive bunch to ever arrive on these shores.
The dude that first settled Boston then welcomed the second set of Pilgrims, had to leave town within a year of their arrival.
Everyone knows bad boys wear black.
