AMERIKA, The Beautiful.

Golden City on the Hill, New Jerusalem;
Built on the bones and bodies of the native peoples.

All men are created equal;
but only if white, male, property owners.

Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness;
For whites only,

Paid for with lives of black, red, and other peoples.

Manifest Destiny;
To commit genocide, rape the earth, destroy ancient peoples.

This is Amerika, the beautiful.
