Misconceptions

Energized by an article written on racism in America, while reading it, seeing the misconceptions people in India and other countries around the world have of America. It seems to me that these misconceptions stem from our own politicians and those in our government, portraying their own agendas, greed and corruption to the world around us. When in reality, Americans are not at all what we are being portrayed as by these supposed representatives of ours. We the People are being misrepresented and this error must be corrected now. As Americans, we see a need and we are there to lend a helping hand, to do whatever we can to help those who are more unfortunate than we are. Our minds and hearts are open, giving, caring, compassionate towards others, even here in the U.S. we help each other, volunteer, give of our own time and money to help whenever we can. And how are we portrayed by our government? As rich snobs who care nothing about people in other countries, who start wars out of selfish greed, protect the wrong countries and let those deserving of our help go unnourished, unfed, doing without our protection and help. Helping the countries whose people are evil, greedy, corrupt, and selfish, because that is how the reality of our politicians and government act towards everyone. It's no wonder other countries have such a bad impression of Americans. We the people do not stand behind the atrocities our government and politicians are committing, they have not been listening to us, not representing us at all. They go against what we Americans want and that is peace and equality all over the world, because we are all equal in the eyes of God. Personally, I do not understand racism and hatred of others because of their color or nationality, it makes no sense to me at all. We are after all human beings across the board, I see no difference when looking at people, they are all the same to me, we just have different outlooks and values on life and that's no reason to hate anyone.
