As Americans we should ask ourselves the question have we ever rejected the narrative? Has the belief that America is exceptional and that we were placed on the hill to be a beacon of hope for the rest of the world made us complicit in the misery of certain segments of the world population? Is it our willingness to accept the narrative as truth essentially what allows for us to turn a blind eye to the suffering of the world? As we seem all to willing to accept that suffering and misery are necessary evils in a broken world. However, the perpetuation of brokenness is connected to our socially constructed individualized stupors. We cannot see beyond our own dreams and ambitions. Our lives are lived in solitary because community is not a marketable commodity for capitalistic elites. The question is what will we do? What generation will stand and create an alternate path towards a new narrative based on liberation and equality?
