America. What a great nation. Okay, not always so great, but the people are what make the nation, not the government. Yes, we must abide by the "rules" of our government to avoid punishment, but truly, we are blessed abundantly.
I am quite annoyed by the negative reactions to Coca-Cola's ad. We are, always have, and always will be a diverse nation. A melting pot of many nations. I think it's one of the reasons we are so great. And quite honestly, English was NOT the first spoken language here in the U.S. What was? Well, I am sure there are other languages, but Native American, for one. They WERE here before the English, weren't they? Uh, yes. They could have eliminated every single person who stepped off of those ships, but they didn't. Were there battles? Sure, but ultimately, they came together in harmony. Teaching, learning, living.
So, how can people get their undies in a knot over the fact that the commercial singing, "America, the Beautiful" was in multiple languages? We should be proud! We are a diverse nation and a beacon of hope and safety to other nations and individuals seeking those very things... HOPE... SAFETY. Would we not want the same if for some reason we had to flee our own homes and venture to foreign lands? Did God not create us all? Every. Person. Is. Created. In. God's. Image. That means EVERYONE! There is no argument to be had.
To the haters of that ad, I say this...
Search your heart and mind before uttering a single word of hate. Hate does NOT belong here. YOU are part of the problem. STOP IT!!!

Preach on, sistah. I did not know there was dislike towards that commercial. I saw it and didnt think anything negative about it. I also saw the Cheerios commercial and so many are up in arms about that. I just saw a happy couple -- not the color of their skin.
