America, The Super Bowl, God Shed His Grace on Thee

Posted on by serenitisparkles

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

We can’t forget what it means to be an American.  Not White, Black, Latino, Asian, Indian.  Not where our ancestors came from.

The USA.

Where we came from.  

We’ve lead with the thought, if your color is not my color, you are not my culture.   Though we are neighbors, you couldn’t understand my experiences.

What if we just looked through the lens that we are ALL Americans.  What if we gave ourselves a moment to unite and be proud of OUR CULTURE?

Look around at the world, travel abroad.  American culture will find you.  Why?

Because our country, though far from perfect, has the motive to push OUR nation toward unity.

Let’s Talk Super Bowl 2020.  

Only in the USA, would you ever find the Super Bowl.  Only in this country, do you find that the power in our voices can sway Government and Big Corporations.

50 years ago was the last Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs won.  50 years ago was January of 1970.  Now let’s see how far we’ve come.

This time 50 years ago, there was NO:

  • GAY PRIDE PARADES
  • ABORTION RIGHTS
  • WOMEN COULD GET FIRED FOR GETTING PREGNANT
  • WOMEN COULD NOT ATTEND THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
  • THERE WERE NO WOMEN JUDGES, ASTRONAUTS
  • VOTING BEFORE 21 YEARS OF AGE

On the day 02022020, the Kansas City Chiefs WON the Super Bowl again, and Americans felt, once again, what it was to be an American.

On the day 02022020,

  • Two Latina Women headlined the Super Bowl Performance
  • A Statement of empowerment was made in the jacket of JLO, that Puerto Ricans are Americans (and we, WOMEN, have the right to speak up)
  • Athletes of Black and White skin, represented Brotherhood.
  • Commercials, (largely because of the JAY-Z and NFL collaboration) had a message.
  • Commercials became advocates.
  • The # 1 Game in the world to have airtime, used it’s airtime to bring awareness to social injustices.

On 02022020,

I was proud to be an American.  I was proud to see that the most powerful country in the world, the money that runs the world, was using their power to inflict GOOD.

We should remember that this country is by the people.  It is up to US to make it FOR the people.
