A Socially Just America is Beautiful

A former United States Congressman commented about the America the Beautiful Coca Cola commercial, saying, "Coca Cola missed the mark in my opinion. If we cannot be proud enough as a country to sing 'America the Beautiful' in English in a commercial during the Super Bowl, by a company as American as they come--doggone we are on the road to perdition. This was a truly disturbing commercial for me, what say you?" Well, I say tick tock Congressman. Your time, and the time of people that think like you, who feel that America should be English-only or that America is yours to take back--as if it was yours to own in the first place--is limited. See, for those of us indigenous peoples who spoke another language before this land was called America, or people who bring other languages with us when we immigrate to America, or learn other languages while we live in America, or want to learn other languages and take the best of other cultures and syncretize it all together because this world is globalized--it's our America too, and a socially just America is beautiful.
