Was, we GREAT when we gather the Asian Americans into a camp in the United States?
Were we great then?

History, when written by them, seem to wash on the story in editated ways.

When Jim Crow's law passed to enhance them and their racist ways.
Were we GREAT then?
Or just as stupid as we are now.

When we see foolish political leaders jump on the built this wall train?
And separate children's from their parents?
Are we Great?
Heck, we barely can address this mistake.

And many wearing this Making America Great hats and caps will be the same ones discriminating with pride.
Only hiding when exposed as being a supporter of racist ways.

When Civil Rights workers disappeared or were killed?
Was America GREAT?

Obviously, they couldn't convict those that were guilty.
When evidence was presented before their very own eyes.

When busing was an opportunity for races to connected?
We saw groups of bigots protesting highly over federal courts decisions.

Thank God some judges are not puppets but use their WISE minds.
