I just want to know

How is this the land of the free...
...when the original people were slaughtered?
...when people were stolen from their land and forced to work in chains?
...when people were pushed away and blocked by a border?
...when we are too dark to be considered equals?
...when we had to raise our voices to use the same restrooms, go to the same schools, eat at the same counter?
...when one man was condemned for kneeling to voice his concerns?
...when another man was allowed to kneel and take a voice away?

Just a few questions that’ll never get answered.
