Tragedy

I spoke to a colleague whose last name happens to be Khan and she almost choked up. We didn’t utter his name, but we both knew what had happened to this beloved country. Home of the free is now only for a certain people, and not for everyone. It’s now clear that America is not above racist, sexist, and supremacist. Eight years ago, we elected our first black president and moved the country forward. Yesterday, we had chosen to take American backward. I finally understood the meaning behind his slogan: Make AmeriKKKa Great Again. It’s “An American Tragedy.”
